yup I smell it too.

I dont know why?

company has not sent out a tweet for a while now. hmmm

They would have to file as insider when they rebought then and that never took place. We dont know who holds what or how many.

Dont forget BD debt was only $2.2mil out of the $5.8

That could also be a big possibility.

I dont know how did u come up on that?

A 3rd party would still need to be involved in the deal.

anyone that owns 5% becomes an insider and must file the sec forms. ANYONE.

correct but from what we know no insiders have been buying because they have not filed any forms.. we also dont know out of those 69mil shares issued who has what and how many.

A 3rd party that is independent from the BOD and the company will review the offer to make sure its fair. If insiders dont own the 50.1% then a shareholder vote will take place to vote on the offer.

lol oh yea that $1,000,000 lololol what happened to that 1mil swank? Hey better yet where are the financials? I bet they are pretty crappy that is why we dont see them.

someone dont want us to close green.

exactly the phrase that pays is

Here is the company


Online Shopping Giant eBay Acquires Search Engine Milo At $75 Million And What It Means For The Future.



It has been reported that eBay, the market leader in online retail and shopping giant has bought the local inventory website, Milo.com in return for $75 million in hard cash. Milo had been previously in the hope of becoming the “local product data’s Google”. So obviously this deal has come as a surprise but this might be the best decision as a strategic venture. The ultimate aim might be incorporating Milo’s data in to the eBay results for a combined outcome.

This might be a result of Google having recently revealed its local product inventory. eBay would have wanted to include that principal in this segment hence the acquisition of the Milo. Additionally, it had been reported that data was being syndicated to third parties by Milo.

With the advent of local product information coming on the internet, it has been observed that online shopping websites like Shopzilla and Nextag have become lessened because of nonspecific providers related to the information of reviews and pricing. In this specific category Amazon has defeated everyone straight on. This brings us to the conclusion that even Amazon might be pondering about entering the local products zone as Google and eBay both have shown their commitment towards it.

As recently as last week, JiWire bought NearbyNow, one of the early companies. Krillion remains the only comparatively mature company. Clarinova, LuckyLocal and Goodzer are newer applicants who have entered the market. The most difficult section of the market is working with smaller retailers. Google though had decided to work directly with retailers. Working as a middleman or even as a data syndicator has been ruled out by Google.

It is a known fact that offline product inventory data information is an ambition for numerous search engines and all the online shopping websites. And now in times of the segments being chased by the startups in return building all the infrastructure and also with the arrival of mobile technology and also LBS researches have reached to the conclusion that product data is an integral way that can drive online as well as mobile clients to stores.

A survey says that around 20% of all the Unites States retailers reportedly have real-time inventory data that is either online or is available for any and all online distribution. We now conclude that this is a very real segment and will significantly accelerate in the next year. The future might have us looking at some product by just looking at a smartphone application. The future is near.

Let's Play The Feud!

Next week, at theSearch Insider Summit, in addition to my day job as resident buzz-tracker, I’ll be donning a polyester suit and hosting the first-ever game of Search Insider Feud.



Design and spray tan by Michael Seiders, Esq.

After my Ode to Siri two weeks ago, it should come as no surprise that the topic of my session will be voice search. And, after debuting Search Engine Idol at the Winter 2009 SIS and seeing the winner get bought by eBay for $75 million less than a year later, it should come as no surprise that I’m returning to the game show format. (Ain’t no way I’m battling the SEO Rapper again! Although challenging hologram Tupac did cross my mind.)

So who will be “discovered” this time around? And what epic fail will have us buzzing?

Here’s how we’re billing it:

Join us for a Search Insider spin on the classic “Family Feud” game show. Our moderator will channel Richard Dawson and lead contestants through three rounds of questions and answers based on actual survey results. Through this innovative format, we will address whether voice search will lead to the end of keywords and how search marketers market in a keyword-less world, and more. Not many can argue the smaller screens and audio inputs make voice a more intuitive and efficient way to navigate through apps and searches. How will voice search and the new crop of digital assistants like Siri and Evi change search marketing, and become imperatives for marketers seeking brand integration with the mobile experience?

Our “contestants” will be split into two teams:

Team 1: Agency Anarchy

Alan Osetek, President, Resolution Media
Stephanie Ridley, SVP, Search Director, Starcom MediaVest Group
David Rifkin, Vice President of Search, Atrinsic

Team 2: Misc. Mayhem

Craig Macdonald, Senior Director, Microsoft Advertising
Jen Brady, Founder & CEO, Fred & Associates
Ryan Bruss, Manager, Search Engine Marketing, All Star Directories

To populate the “board,” I’ve created a 20-question survey for search marketers covering everything from preferred formats to devices to voiceovers. Still closing in on the 100 respondents needed, so feel free to take the survey for yourself and make your “voice” heard.

True to form, we’ll start each round of Search Insider Feud with a “toss-up” and give the person who guesses the most popular answer a chance to have his/her team play or pass. From there, we’ll go down the line, asking each team member to round out the top-five responses. After three “strikes,” the other team will have a chance to steal -- and, after three rounds, the team with the highest point total will get to play the “Fast Money” bonus round where anything can happen. I just hope I can hold it together!

The theme for Day 1 of SIS is “How Voice, Touch, Gesture and Mobile Will Influence Search Engine Marketing” and my session is part of a rich agenda exploring this heady, er… body topic. Michael Liard, director of automatic identification business practice at VDC Research, will be speaking about near-field communication. And Jeff Bander, president North America and general manager at EyeTrackShop, will present on gesture and eye tracking. Finally, Chacka Marketing co-founder Janel Laravie will be moderating a panel about “Search and the Multiscreen/Input Experience.”

Day 2 in Captiva will have us “Swimming in Privacy, Data and Analytics” and Day 3 should be a plus with “Search+ Display, Social, and Video.” Our MC, Chris Copeland (aka SearchBoss and now known simply as C2Next) will C 2 it that all 3 days are filled with fresh insights and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Survey says it’s going to be grrrr8!

something stinks over there that is why :)

Something stinks ehhh. On another note some nice ask slappen today.

From the SEC:

SCH 13-G
An annual filing which must be filed by all reporting persons (primarily institutions) meeting the 5 percent equity ownership rule within 45 days after the end of each calendar year.
Item 1 - Name and address of issuer
Item 2 - Identification of reporting person
Item 3 - 13D-1 or 13D-2 applicability
Item 4 - Amount of shares beneficially owned:
Percent of Class Outstanding
Sole or Shared Power to Vote
Sole or Shared Power to Dispose

Item 5 - Ownership of 5 percent or less of a class of stock
Item 6 - Ownership of more than 5 percent on behalf of another person
Item 7 - Identification of subsidiary which acquired the security being reported on by the parent holding company (if applicable)
Item 8 - Identification and classification of members of the group (if applicable)
Item 9 - Notice of dissolution of group (if applicable)
Item 10 - Certification

You are actually wrong. If you own 5% of the OS you would need to file with the SEC. weather the stock is pink sheets or whatever you still have to file.

wow amazing PR yesterday followed by an amazing amount of buys today..

MAJOR FAIL BY THE COMPANY AND CEO LOL. lets sell energy drinks!

There you have it

At the time it was not a bad move, but I just think itunes has so much market share that it did not pan out the way they wanted it to. If kazaa would have worked out this would be trading at $7 easy.

Kazaa off the books make this a $1 stock easy. They spent $18mil a yr on there net profit to keep it going.

Well I am sticking around to the end. I enjoy a good story once in a while.

Company took a risk on Kazaa and did not work out, shareholders are paying the price for it now but then again we wouldn't be able to buy in at this pps if it wasnt for that failed venture. it takes time to clean out the books of kazaa and then back to what the company was good at doing.

At that time the OS was only 7mil or so I dont think they wanted to sell shares because then it would take them off the nasdaq.

$5.8 was not only from BD. BD loan was around $2.5mil or so only.

Depending on who the buyer is a merger or buyout can take 3-6months. If the buyer was BD then would have taken closer to 3 months or less because they already know a ton about the company. If its an outside company then it will be longer but would be better for us because I believe an outside company would pay more then what BD would pay.

That they would need to file. and so far we seen nothing yet.

You also bring up another good point. The fact that they retired all outstanding shares is also interesting. Whatever it is I am here to stay and find out!

I do also agree with that. They can post unaudited financials thru pinksheets.

Its another way for fong not to have to answer the question. If you ever talked with him on the phone hes like that.

Its a material event and a big one. So I would assume we would hear about it. It's in the SEC filings that May 31st is the deadline. In fact if they went dark to save money which I would think is in the hundreds of thousands its a smart move. That is why I am still here and will wait it all out. This is a hot sector this yr and I am not worried by the company going dark.

You just brought up a GREAT point, they have until May 31st to pay off the debt...Going dark we know saved them a butt load of cash......Paying off the debt is material and would have be put out in a PR.

After further thinking things thru today I can wait tell yrs end to see things thru. Company cant stay dark forever and if it is doing so to keep costs down then I will ride with it and be here.
