I've been watching (unfortunately) from the sidelines since it was at around 2 1/2 in November. I always waited (and had money locked up in other ventures). Thought it would correct itself like most of the other OTC stocks and I might get in. This addresses a very novel need that started ALL search engine sites, the search and retreival of information. This stock is focused on one of the most widely used functions of a portal. They have a radically different approach. The move from the outline styled layout of search results to the graphical tree-structure. I personally don't like it right now. Just like I didn't like different cosmetic changes of win 3.11 to WIN95. But like all things, it is for the better. My biggest fault (which is what made me have my revelation) is that this style does not integrate into a web-browser. You can see what I mean by simply expanding and then collapsing a tree. To fix this problem WCTI will either have to write a java applet(ugh), or what I think is the best solution, and what will seperate this search-engine miles from the rest, is a local-client. One of the hippest things when yahoo was just yahoo for the most part was a client-side application called PointCast. It's was the bane of every network administrator at companys with internet access. MyTrack is going to be the first to do online-trading via a local client application. Well let me shut up, I could go one for awhile descibing how you log onto a companies web site, choose all the options you would like, then a local-client is built with just the modules you choose, and then downloaded to your PC...ect...Anyway, enough babbling, the point to the pull-back-spring is a new type of offering is in the works then the plain old portal-in-a-browser...
