China will have the second largest population of Internet users A California-based IT research firm, Computer Economics Inc., projects that by 2005, China will have the second largest population of Internet users, with 37.3 million, next to the United States, with 126.6 million. China's growth will push Japan, which will have 34.7 million users, from its current second place position to third, according to the research firm's analysis. This would mean exponential growth for China, who only has around 2.1 million users next to Japan's reported 14 million users. "Between 2003 and 2005, China will begin to dominate the Asia Pacific region in terms of Internet users, thanks to increasingly available wireless technologies," said Michael Erbschloe, Computer Economics' director of research and advisory services. Germany will grab fourth place with 17.5 million users and Canada will have fifth place with 17.2 million users. "Other areas that now show high numbers of users, such as Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan, will not increase at such a high rate," added Erbschloe. However, as some regional analysts point out, the study by Computer Economics does not take in account the economic and political barriers to such growth in China including the high cost of access and Beijing's fear of the Web's free flow of information. ¡C

Hi everyone! Just wanted to express my opinions on some of the posts I have read. These new people planting doubt are slowing getting into the conversation about Bid.com. It won't be long before they start really beating up on this company after it is listed on the Nasdaq. These shorters will say ANYTHING to induce doubt for their gain. I was on the Yahoo board reading about a stock whose name I won't mention. It was a real learning experience for me, because I have only been reading and posting on boards for a short time, relatively speaking. The shorters on that board would SELL OUT THEIR OWN MOTHER! They also would sell their souls to the devil in order to make a buck. The shorts posted vicious attacks using profanity about the company, management and other posters who were long. These people post messages with remarks that could provoke a lawsuit by the company. In fact, I read on Yahoo the other day about a couple of (short) posters who are being sued by companies. I posted one message, saying I would never post or read messages on that board again. There was nothing to gain by being there. Nothing intelligent was being said. Just attacks and more attacks. I hope that it does not get to that point here. But, I do think they (the shorts) will try on every board. Their bashing attempts are very transparent, so I don't know why they bother. Most people just stop reading their posts, as I did.
