GOOD MORNING ALL! Appears to be a lot of goings-on behind the scene during night. For the last few hours winr.net & shoppingdowntown.com & cyberlinkms.net have all been innaccessable (although shoppingdowntown just recently came back up under the "under construction" gif). Appears to be lots of hammering and pounding going on during the U.S. zzzzzzzz zone! Concerning the ichargeit.com site, don't know if anyone has noticed that yesterday their cyberswapmeet location boasted 25 shopping destinations and zero banners unlinked. Todays total thus far is 30 shopping destinations with 9 unlinked banners. Pretty good growth, eh. Also one of the sites in the swapmeet called "Buy the mall", is (will be) a mall within a mall. check it out. I would also like to make mention of the affiliations WINR is making with such companies as Para-link (PLNKD) and Netgateway (NGWY). I think this banding together of a number of small, up and coming, internet concerns with expertise and proprietary technologies in diverse segments of the internet arena could prove to be very beneficial in the future. As for the lottery news yesterday, I like it a lot. Yes, it is "old" news that WINR will be bringing this lottery on-line, and it has been postponed 15 days from its original start-up date, but if you do a little research you will find that the payout structure and overall set-up are truly outstanding. Also, I have been researching on-line internets over the weekend and through the night. While there are 30-40 on-lne internets, both charitable and commercial, almost all (like powerball in the U.S. and the Austrian lottery) are severly restricted geographically. That is to say, you can play them on the net, but only from within a very restricted geographical location. I have found a site that I believe lists all the truly "international" commercial internet lottery sites.... lottery.merseyworld.com Are you surprised how few there are? Notice, also, that the German lottery is not up yet, and I know David mentioned something about the Germans a long time ago. I know, I know, your saying Swede thats what you said about the Austrian lottery also, which is true. But, I wonder if the Austrian lottery only taking bets from within Austria on-line might have caused WINR to back off from that deal rather than visa-versa as the revenues generated by an on-line intrA-national lottery would be minimal at best. If the German site is international and goes with WINR, watch out. I don't think many people are grasping how big the on-line lottery genre can, or will be. Lotteries bring a lot of TRAFFIC, they have to, to be successful. And, traffic is everything to a business such as WINR's. Imagine if WINR had been operational when there were only a handful of casinos on-line, well that is the position they are in with the advent of the international on line lottery! Good Investing, and as always.... Best Wishes, Swedelo
