Why TSIG will continue to be a Failure Here is one simple example of their failings: A few months ago I had to get the "Prince of Egypt" soundtrack for my nephew, and despite being a very loyal CDNOW customer, I decided to give ccmusiccard.com a try. While all the other major site I checked had no trouble finding the title when I searched for "Egypt", ccmusiccard could not come up with what was then a best selling album. Then last week, after Cohesive spent all that effort developing TSIG's site, I decided to try my Egyption Benchmark once again. This time I was please to find a dozen titles with the one soundtrack I wanted included at a reasonable price. I thought to myself that even if TSIG refuses to market themselves as they should, at least someone might come along, buy the site, and get them all out of debtors prison. But low and behold today, they renamed the site mymusiccard.com and ccmusiccard.com now takes you there. The "new" site looks worse then the one I enjoyed just last week. The search for "Egypt" once again does NOT turn up the movie soundtrack, and what is even Worse, when I typed "EJypt" by accident, I got a javascript error crash. Needless to say, this is not the type of site upgrade that you should be proud of seeing yet, in a press release, and anyone waiting to see how well the reopening of the site would improve things, might be in for another dissappointment. I have to admit, as both a consumer and shareholder, I'm embarressed that I even considered this a viable company, and won't even bother checking on it's much hyped progress anymore. I'm also looking to sell all my positions in this stock should we dip below 3/8ths again, which will undoubtably happen once the increased float issue becomes clearer as that's what helped kill this stock last year as well. With the discussion that they have increased the float once again to pay for all this useless work, which leads me to conclude that without a REAL expensive marketing campagne, or a music retailer needing a web presence quick, looking for a site to buy; that TSIG's stock will continue to wallow in the mire of it's own crapulence.
