Well I finally plunked down my money so I could participate. I have been on this board since the inception, using it to analyze whether or not I wanted to join Silicon Investor. Not sure how these message boards work, so I am just responding to the last message. Turns out this was probably the best board to get my feet wet. The early analysis was sketchy but it gave me a chance to decide the risk for myself. I've enjoyed watching both the longs and shorts swoop in after IMON got popular. It's amazing how brutal these camps can be, offering absolutely no substantial facts to support their side. Ultimately digressing into a "let's slap 'em on the table to see who's bigger" frenzy. It has allowed me to see who I can trust as there are some level heads out there. My history with the stock is as follows: in at 1.50 & 8.25; out at 6.75, 15 & 9. So I've made money buying dips and selling high(er). Which is good because my broker always gives me grief about not taking a profit. In this stock, I have learned that lesson. What I want to say about Webzinger is that I believe it is a forward thinking product that will change the way searching is done. It's not the client that you see running on your PC that's important, it's the portal that decides to use this technology. Imagine that when you register your web page you are given the opportunity to include a preview of your site. This file could be .AVI, .WAV anything you like. If it hits on someone's Webzinger search, they play the preview to see if they want to visit. It's almost like a commercial. Saving you the need to go there to decide it's not what you wanted. There's some guy on the thread who compares this product to Dogpile. Well while he's saying 'yes I want to see the next 20 entries of 26000', Webzinger will be playing previews of the sites for an IMON client. I am not affiliated with anyone on this, I just like the 'old patents' and the possible paradigm shift this product could cause. It's a novel concept using Digital Signal Processing to sample returned website info; building a relational database, then playing it back based on the sampling. I've read Mr. Schwartz's white papers and think he's really on to something. I am playing with house money now, buying and selling in and out. I just want to make sure I have a position in IMON if and when that portal announcement comes out. And please don't take that as a rumor, JMHO. fqwiii... (My initials, so you won't ask)
