Well, FWIW I know there is at least one customer! Had my first exchange from the client perspective with Ms. portico when calling on a contact...with the exception of a few hiccups, she performed beautifully and seemed a nice departure from ordinary voicemail (offering to "locate" the user or take a message). I had no idea I would run into her when calling so the experience was probably very similar to any novice attempting to use the 'service' from the client end....interesting, I thought. Good luck to all with call...

<<By the way, does the winner of the quarterly number guessing game receive a share of GMGC stock (lol)?>>

OK, so my $2.1M was just a wee bit off. I guess I don't receive the share of stock. I guess I'm also banned from any career position as a stock analyst.

I need an alka-seltzer. Only 1,000 subscribers. Sheesh! I think a fair number of these are probably Silicon Investor members, Markman's relatives, etc. Clearly this company has proven that they can't make Portico work on their own through the reseller / advertising model. They need large-caliber help in reselling / repackaging this service, but I guess this isn't new news to any of us. The question is when will these deals and associated revenues REALLY hit?

Distraught,

Drew
