I added to my position on today's contract with GEO Cities. The news with Standard & Poors pushed MESG to 26 a couple weeks ago #reply-9243389. The play on MessageMedia is targeted advertising. Yahoo! has indicated it is interested in targeted advertising and will be moving in that direction since advertisers are not satisfied with results from banner ads on portals. This contract with GEO Cities suggests Yahoo! is moving in that direction. Recall, Yahoo! is buying Geo Cities. Also recall, Softbank is a share holder in all three. Here is a link I use to monitor the moves Softbank makes. Recall, Softbank bought into Broadcast.com several months before Yahoo! said it would acquire it. softbank.co.jp Anyway, Softbank uses its properties to build off one another and we are seeing that with MessageMedia and the GEO Cities contract. Another probable MessageMedia client that hasn't been mentioned is ZDNet. I believe we are in the early stages of MessageMedia's growth. We have a lot of day traders and things will volatile but there's lots of positive things that could happen for MESG. My advice, buy on dips, sell on run-ups.
