Dear NEOM stockholders...
Paperclick technology will NOT take off overnight.
The world has a few more technologies to embrace first.
3G... WiMax... etc are all still in their early stages.
Remember when SMS was once used only by a few people?
Only now, 10 years later, is it a commonplace method of communication.
Look to the past for the timeframes of adoption.
I believe Neomedia IS onto something wonderful - It just takes time.
Love,

"Brand in the Hand"...
I had the pleasure of working with Mr Copus during his tenure in Singapore.
The best is yet to come....
Let's Roll!

Amen success622.
Being permission based is such a huge strong point for NEOM.
It will mean everything in terms of adoption.
Who would want the rain to steal their thunder?
peevee... slight flaw - if "Manic Depressive Inc" is a registered trademark, there can be no auction. Correct?
Mr Copus getting busy...

Or maybe a third party has asked nicely for NEOM to be quiet
nope. not apple. you have two more guesses!
OT: Yes Hangdog...
Having been experienced the Tsunami over here first hand... 'sucked' is an understatement. It changes your life forever.
Prayers are with anyone facing the weather.

Has nobody considered that the SAIC announcement was dealt with in the manner it was because third party wanted it that way... ?
Kisses,

RE: MM's
This from TS
MAKING MARKETS
A good place to start is with the description of market makers
provided by the SEC’s Web site:
"The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) member firms
that use their own capital, research, retail and/or systems
resources to represent a stock and compete with each other to buy
and sell the stocks they represent. There are more than 500 member
firms that act as Nasdaq market makers. One of the major
differences between the Nasdaq Stock Market and other major U.S.
markets (i.e., NYSE) is Nasdaq's structure of competing market
makers.
"Each market maker competes for customer order flow by displaying
buy-and-sell quotations for a guaranteed number of shares. Once an
order is received, the market maker will immediately purchase for
(or sell from) its own inventory, or seek the other side of the
trade until it is executed, often in a matter of seconds."
Now, we'll clarify the basics of this process:
First, "NASD member firms" are brokerages (i.e., broker-dealers)
who act as market makers, creating liquidity for thousands of
stocks. The brokerages interact over a centralized computer system
managed by the Nasdaq, thus creating a virtual trading environment
for stocks on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market
and the OTC Bulletin Board.
Dealers choose to be market makers in a particular stock because
they believe they can earn profits through buying and selling that
stock. In contrast, at the NYSE (as an example), a single
specialist firm is assigned to every stock traded on the exchange,
and trading in the stock takes place on the trading floor at a post
assigned to that stock.
TO BID, OR NOT TO BID
Market makers keep the market liquid by maintaining an inventory of
shares. Each market maker on the Nasdaq is required to give a
two-sided quote, meaning they must post a firm bid price and a firm
ask price that they are willing to honor. If you're trading through
an online broker, you'll see the two numbers "bid" and "ask"
displayed in the stock quote. The market makers will sometimes
match buyers with sellers, but most frequently they buy shares
themselves and then sell those shares when a buyer places an order.
Each Nasdaq-traded stock generally has at least two market makers,
with an average of 14 market makers for each stock. Thinly-traded
microcaps will typically have only a few market makers, while the
likes of Microsoft and Intel can have several dozen or more.
Interestingly, the share volume that we all see in the stock quotes
is often misleading. This is because the same shares that are taken
in by market maker accounts, and then sold, are considered to be
two trades on Nasdaq (whereas on the NYSE, buyers and sellers are
matched directly). This situation causes a duplication of volume
for the majority of trades, giving the Nasdaq stocks the appearance
of being more active than they actually are.
So, exactly how do market makers make money?
The answer lies between the bid and ask price, or "the spread,"
which the market makers bank. The degree of the spread varies
depending on the overall liquidity in a stock. In actively traded
stocks, market makers will have to scrap for any business and the
spread will be quite small. For thinly traded stocks, market makers
might demand a very large spread because they may have to hold the
stock for a long time before a buyer comes along, increasing the
risk that they won't be able to sell it for as much as they paid.
FUNNY BUSINESS
Despite all the complaining by angry investors posting on messages
boards, the fact is market makers have nowhere near the amount of
control seemingly attributed to them. Although market makers always
have the ability to make money off of "market" orders, they cannot
control the placement of "limit" orders.
Obviously, market markets are in an advantageous position. They're
in the trenches where they can watch the flow and volume of orders
in the queue. And that’s why we strongly suggest microcap investors
enter "limit" orders as opposed to "market" orders.
Like any market maker, investors can set (limit) their own bid or
ask prices by placing orders to sell or buy only at a specific
price. In fact, if everyone only used "limit" orders, market makers
would have virtually no control over the price of a stock!
When a microcap suffers a sudden sharp decline in price, it’s
usually due to a large number of transactions at the bid, or
"market" orders. This sort of action is not "funny business" by
market makers -- rather, it’s a case where a lot of other people
are heading to the exit, pronto!
Come to think of it, you have to wonder why we've never heard of an
investor blaming market makers for driving "up" a stock. You can be
sure if market makers had the ability to control the downward price
movement, they would also be able to control the upward movements
as well.
When a genuinely ugly problem such as "naked shorting" (shorting a
stock without owning or borrowing the stock) occurs in microcaps,
it generally happens in stocks that trade on the OTC Bulletin Board
-- it just comes with the territory. When we speak of the Wild Wild
West, this is the place where looser regulations sometimes allow
the outlaws to run roughshod over certain stocks.
In some instances, the float of a microcap is so small that
relatively few shares are available for purchase on the open
market, due to large insider ownership. This means that some
transactions (like naked shorting) have a proportionately greater
impact on the stock price than do trades of the same size in the
shares of a larger company -- making manipulation easier.
CLOSING THE GAP
Now that you’re armed with some knowledge about the role of market
makers in microcaps, is there anything you can do to play the game
better?
In addition to following the basic strategies we regularly discuss
in MicroCap Investor such as buying/selling in thirds, fourths or
fifths; scaling up buying on pullbacks like a tough contrarian, and
selling into huge price spikes, here are a few things related to
"market" and "limit" orders that will improve your investing
strategy, too:
* As we already said, use limit orders. We’ve all seen "market"
orders in microcaps filled at a price that was less than fair and
reasonable. Market makers are looking for every opportunity to make
a buck, so don’t leave yourselves open to highway robbery. Even
when you’re willing to pay the current market price, still place it
as a "limit" order.
* Never buy at the market price when a stock gaps up at the opening
-- usually in response to some news or event. When market makers
have market orders for a stock at the open, they will often take
the stock up and fill the market orders at a higher -- inflated --
price. When investors sell into the newly established higher price,
the stock will drop back down and fill the price gap previously
created. If you want to purchase the stock that day, place a limit
order at the previous day's closing price. You’re order will almost
always get filled.
* Likewise, never sell at the market when a stock gaps down at the
open. Market makers aren’t very concerned about which way a stock
is moving, as long as it is moving -- they can make easy money in
either direction. If bad news hits the tape and market makers have
an excess of market sell orders at the open, they will fill those
orders at a ridiculously low price. Since you can count on the
inevitable bounce, wait before selling your shares.
STICK TO THE PLAN
All investors are vulnerable to the market makers' trading
shenanigans -- as well as the manipulations of assorted other
players -- but microcap investors are especially at risk. All the
more reason that you should stick to the MicroCap Investor’s
strategies you get in your ChangeWave MicroCap Investor updates. If
you do, you’ll be more likely to avoid some of the pitfalls and
you’ll be far more likely to be a successful and profitable
investor.

Would you vow never to look at or take another photograph again?
Or watch a movie?
Or use the internet?
Fear Not. Our tech will just be a way of life...
Porn is GREAT for NEOM...
Think about it...
When mankind had paint... the first thing we did was paint women.
When photography came along.. we took nude photos.
I don't even need to talk about how VHS and then DVD exploded.
Oh yeah... and that internet thing too.
The Adult Entertainment industry is the BEST barometer of where OUR tech is going!
Stay LONG and STRONG... (filthy pun intended)

Brother Beacon...
Airclic is IntRAnet... NEOM is InTERnet.
They changed their concept along the way, knowing that they were infringing on NEOM's patents.
How do we know these links are live?
Could they still be demos?
After all, you do not need permission to link to someone else's website.
Let's all love NEOM.
Let's all be sure.

Yes Mikee. They Are.
Stating the obvious... It's a hobby of mine.
Much love,
SA :)
Relax... NEOM's patents are covered in the European countries they are covered in (duh!)
This quashed law pertains to the EU as a whole.
Welcome in Mr. Future. We've been expecting you!
Hypertag launch is great for NEOM!
Hypertag will introduce many people to the technology which NEOM will dominate. The fact is, Hypertag is ready to go NOW and the nature of it means that it will appear in some very public places.
Once people are used to the idea... Paperclick is off and running.
PLUS -> the same company launching Hypertag is also taking care of Paperclick in Aus...
Just for fun...
Click on the Max chart for NEO.F
What Paperclick needs MOST...
.. is to have their software pre-installed on mobile phones.
--> Woogerbear, Well Said!
You say "Scanbuy has a copyright on optical zoom."
Optical zoom is very soon going to be a moot point for NEOM.
Also... looking ahead... RFID tags ain't gonna' need no stinkin' optical zoom friends.
Nice one MM...
But Mark This Post.
Very Soon... you won't need a 1.9 megapixel cameraphone.
Now that we're relaxed...
If you're new to this stock.. hold on tight.
The next few weeks WILL be fun.
True Longs.. we are already live.
Only two more ducks to be lined up.
Be excited.
