I have a feeling something big is happening Everyone, I have been long on this stock since last july. I am an electrical engineer and I just know without a doubt in my mind, voice is the future of the internet. Especially when we spend a majority of our time away from the convenience of a computer screen. Even when I do have a computer screen, a voice interface would be so much more desirable. I would prefer a VUI to make airline reservations rather than point and click and select pull-down menu options and wait for new screens to load. I just finished making an online hotel, car and plane ticket reservation on AAA and I just wish I had a VUI to make it quicker and cut through the frustration. I feel that this summer GMGC is going to announce ties and major deals with many web content companies. Vendors such as Amazon, E-bay etc. Take E-bay for example. There is an evergrowing list of competitors threatening EBAYs hold on the market. They simply need GMGC to give them an edge. And think of all the other web companies that are facing growing competition and trying to find a way to make their services more convenient and increase volume. With GMGC, companies can tie their web services into a consumers life, not just when they happen to be using their computer.

Mark, An interesting little excerpt below. With the known deal with INTU, this could provide a possible clue with the rumors about XCIT. redherring.com At present, Excite (XCIT) and Intuit still partner to provide consumer financial content. But Excite has chosen Bank One to provide more lucrative online banking and billing to Excite's 17 million-some online users. The status of Bank One's deal with Excite is unclear, however. The companies plan to offer Bank One subsidiary First USA's credit cards, online banking, and online bill paying and presentment to Excite's customers, but none of those offers are available on Excite's network today. Take care, Kurt PS what is this 300 trades using the Dragon system. I thought you weren't a daytrader:)
