Afraid I must agree. The 6/18 rollout news seems to be reflected in the price already. Need some new propulsion source.

Look at Brilliant Tech's home page and tell me it inspires confidence in the company, enough to risk lots of capital and let it idle. It looks like a frickin' dead tree stump in someone's front yard.

BTW, I am long with a significant position in BLLN and KTF - but c'mon AK, take some pride for crying out loud. I don't see any evidence that he gives a rat's ass about the investors who congregate here.
Short Interest is a market sentiment indicator.

Qtrax' Press page has been updated.

Qtrax Status Message, 05-22-08 1947GMT
"We are in process of updating Qtrax with a new version and will be back by 5.00 AM GMT. You can browse the site during this time but will not be able to login or register. Thank you for your patience."
Continuing carelessness with its web pages
is a real problem at BLLN. You'd think a startup business would be more concerned about such glaringly public details, especially an Internet-based one.
Re: I consider party talk bad luck. (LV)
:: I consider off color talk here in bad taste.
:: Some youngsters are reading this board too.
:: I wish everyone here only the best of luck and fortune, but I am also a realist. With these kind of investments, things can go wrong so I'm very cautious. I think this stock has a good shot though.
Thank you for this post, Rich the Red. The less pre-hatch chicken counting and frivolity here, the better for all IMHO.
Fidelity just posted the NR, fed by CBS/Market Watch.

Investor confidence would increase
IMO, if BLLN would clean up its Web presences.
GoQ, I understand that time, energy and effort is being focused on the label deals and on the functionality of the Qtrax library and multilingual delivery systems. It's a huge job, and they are making demonstrably real and very encouraging progress.
However, it is inexcusable that the company continues to neglect many of its public Web pages, which feature broken links, ancient information and stale press releases marked 'NEW!' The company's own homepage http://www.ltdnetwork.com/ is a disturbing picture of this. It makes a decidedly bad impression.
Could this mean simply that all hands are busy making ready the product that will rock the world? Certainly. And I believe it will. However, those who are skeptical are more likely to stay on the sidelines until the company cleans up its act. IMHO.

Interesting that the Universal deal news release
was for the general public, but not the financial community.
Glad to see this umusic.com PR - it was not there when I checked this morning.
It's a bit disheartening that Qtrax' own Press page is not being maintained...
http://www.qtrax.com/US/press.html
Still, KTF.
Digg It and spread the word:

I would expect everyone's PR's and download availability to be coordinated and occur more or less simultaneously, IMO. Big concern would be demand overwhelming system capacity! KTF.
Nagarro, Inc. doing s/w development for Qtrax
San Jose, Calif. & Las Vegas – April 29, 2008
Nagarro continues to build its software product development customer portfolio, adding Composite Software, ID Software, Lablynx, LogicBlox, Pointer AB and Qtrax, to its roster.

Looks like the HP ad is for TigerDirect.com
and probably rotates with others so you may not see it. Here's a screenshot:
Qtrax-related Blogs - Update
http://www.qtrax.net.au/ is still there but
http://www.qtrax.net.au/beta/ is gone;

I got the survey today and took it.
To my eye, neither site is Official -
http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=32733839
or
http://qtraxmusic.blogspot.com.
For a rough machine translation from the Portuguese:
qtraxmusic.blogspot.com -> http://tinyurl.com/5ufccm
QTRAX.NET.AU is registered to
a Troy Sauerwald. Couldn't find a connection between that name and BLLN activity (though its being Aussie is suspicious), and it sure doesn't look official. Still, if that other blog was 86'ed by corp, you'd think this one would be as well.
Additional Qtrax Corp sites / Web detritus
Thanks for those links, TREOTREO.
No doubt, readying for launch is priority one; however, there are some additional sites which would appear to be works either in-progress or abandoned that I think Brilliant would do well to tidy up:

QTRAX.BLOGSPOT.COM has apparently gone Private.
I was familiar with that Unofficial blog but hadn't checked it since February. Today, it's "Permission denied. This blog is open to invited readers only."

On Topic - Very popular on Digg at the moment:
95% of 18-24 year olds are illegally copying music

Sneakernet bigger threat than P2P file sharing
http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15515
We used to refer to the 'record-buying public.' But nowadays, I think the entrenched FREE/P2P download-and-share psychology in the mainly youthful record-non-buying public is very hard to overcome, even with the threat of RIAA prosecution and penalties for copyright offenders.
The QTrax Free model is more compatible with human nature and the realities of international unwieldy file-sharing.
That said, Apple has very deep pockets with which to influence events.

If Bid=.055 and Ask=.063 then this action @.045>.049=? MM?
Greetings all the way around. Long on BLLN and been reading the mail here on this board for a couple of months without jumping in.
FWIW, an article on topic in today's NYT:
Free Music? Only With a Fight
