Tom..I disagree..The articles mean a lot..Just because IATV isn't mentioned doesn't mean that they have nothing to do with the process. I dare to say that CSCO didn't get much attention because they were "behind the scenes" but look at how well their stock has done. I realize it is easy to get frustrated but don't please don't inflict it on members of this thread who are trying to have an open discussion!

Tom our name will get a big boost when Fox starts advertising FSN Interactive in what should be May. PCLN up over 12. Looks like the T takeover story is the reason. SFA sues Gemstar biz.yahoo.com

>>I am long on this stock and I will not give up on it, but NONE of these articles about interactive TV mention ACTV, and therefore, do nothing for the stock. I have no doubt that ACTV will do excellent in the long term, but without the recognition for it's contributions to the (convergence) market, we share-holders will not see the rewards that we believe are due. I am afraid that it will take posted, positive earnings numbers or a major alliance/merger to get this stock off the ground again. I am bullish, but we will just have to wait. We are behind this convergence curtain and that will not change until we make our next major move i.e. merge, alli, report positive earnings. I am a little tired of seeing these articles about convergence with no mention of ACTV. The articles mean nothing to potential investors without the label ACTV...<< ****************************************************** Hi Tom, This is a rare occasion that I disagree with several members of the group, in this case I agree with some points you made in your earlier post. IMHO you have made some relevant points which bear repeating, and I have put the ones that I especially agree with in bold. Why am I doing this? Because I think ACTV needs to think over and possibly adjust their PR strategies in this "sell on news" market environment. I agree with your statement >>The name of the game in this market is "name brand"**<< When we have partnerships, etc., as we do with SUNW, the IATV stock symbol and ACTV's name needs to accompany the partner's PRs (as it sometimes does with SUNW). More efforts to enable that type of synergy need to be made IMHO. This is basic marketing. Did I get the gist of your post correctly? Ed
