LM spokes in Q2 ( MAY ) that we will hear something in the next two Quarters.
That means from July til December.
When i remember right.
ya and daytraders and they have a lot of fun
... and we have to look stupid....
perhaps we will close at 0.007 or lower today
( if not today but next week )
no hope anymore
I am convinced that Dr.Soon-Shiong is no more invested in neom
tic tac tic tac.....
I think we can forget the story of Dr. Soon-Shiong.
He has no more interest in Neomedia.
One would be interested.
If he wants to sell all shares, must it be made ??public? answer: no
and meanwhile he has done it.
With these debts they have no chance to survive.
Only miracles can save us, but these are so rare.
bitter but true
poptech will it confirm!
best regards bittermoon
oh...don't forget it to delete
Thank you for your answer.
I think in the same direction as you.
It can only get better.
we can lose 100%, but we could win 1000% or more..
we will see!
THANKS!
What does this mean?
Sell on Highs tomorrow? ... befor we are at the same level at the end of the week.
I want to have a serious answer from an expert as you.
We have not much time til the end of July isn't it?
yes this is reality and we ALL have to accept it!!
BUT WE WAN'T IT...
I hope so!
LM you have done great work!!!!!!
Thank you you have us given a hope for one month!
I hope it will go faster down and we all will see an end soon.
We all have better things to do, than us to annoy every day!!
a few weeks ago Laura Mariott said: everyone uses codes and neomedia is only at the beginning of......
from 0,008 to 0,056 and back to 0,013 - great start of 2012
i says, codes are everywhere but nobody needs neomedia.
in a few days laura mariott will us say, that 2013 will be the year of the year.
she looks pretty but thats all - LM please leave the company , you have had time enough!!!!!!
The last few years I read your postings very pleasure and I appreciate your change of opinion much. We both are very disappointed.
in Europe there is no such financing models as YA has.
I had no idea of financing a company like neomedia get, although I have read several times by a death spiral.
when a CEO in Europe works so bad, then neither a investor more a bank offers him a financing.
These people from neomedia are not business people, but bandits.
excuse my bad english
I don't know, how someone buy at this level.
low volume is very good sign, they can bring the price down!!!
we will see 0,008 again or lower. ( perhaps not today but certainly.)
I'm not spiteful but very very disappointed!!!
Laura go home, the play is over!!!
we don't get a reverse split again.
they will close the doors before and perhaps a cheaper sale to a private investor.
we will see nothing?
the only two winners were YA and the employees from neomedia ( they got every month their salary )
.......only we ( little shareholders ) have lost our money.
That is the play, but we want NOT see the truth.
ask poptechs
Wait til the end of the day.
your chance is 50:50
i think we will see 0,015 or lower....
I have nothing to lose on this stock, but can only win.
That's why I'm pessimistic and of course of poptechs statements!!!
not since today, but for many years.
BEST REGARDS from laura mariott from cannes.( seh is in holydays)
What does it mean, if we see 5 times a sell order for 777 shares??
Pop, when I read your statements, we all should sell as soon as possible and close the postings.
Why should anyone still have own or buy shares from neomedia?
I do not think we will buy anymore based on pseudo-news.
Laura Marriott to fire would be an option but who is able to make a restructuring before the lights go out by end of July?
the time is much too short ...
we ( me too ) all here, who believe that neomedia will be successful, are dreamers .....
every day, every month, every year... ( since 2001 )
Thank you for your honest answer.
I think the same as you, without a campaign manager, they will earn no money.
who came instead of Bruce Braun?
If Dr. Soon-Shiong increased its number of shares (50% or more), has he the possibilty to engage in their daily business and to fire LM or to hire a Campaign Manager?
Is that your hope or your guess?
what do you expect in the coming days?
I am not interested in the share price performance, but rather to Neomedia business plan.
In your opinion, has NeoMedia patents to earn a lot of money in the near future?
or need global players like google etc. .. even once a patent of NeoMedia?
or is everything once again in the dark?
best regards
If I read everything that is written here, then it is best for everyone, we all should sell on Monday.
Better an end with horror than horror without end!
or there is another opinion!
If doc buys the company, which is the only chance of survival,
then we all sharesholders get nothing.
I have invested much money into this shit.
Thank you pop and Bucks4Buckeyes for your clear answers.
best regards
bittermoon
fact is, neomedia took no new loan from Ya since the last two months
fact is, neomedia has moved to Boulder. (Cost?)
fact is, a new CFO has come. (salary ?)
fact is, neomedia must have revenues!!!
Poptech please explain to us, why neomedia has not get a new loan from YA since two months ago.
Normaly they need it each month. ( $ 450000,--)
ok perhaps you mean, neomedia is bankrupt and YA give them any money more. ( no revenue, no license... )
And then Dr.Shiong-Soon comes and invested in a bankrupt company.
ah you mean, he was invested because his profession is gambling.
Does that make sense?
Perhaps something is in the pipeline, which we all dont know.
So, what is your personal opinion about the increase in the last week?
Yesterday I actually expected a new loan from YA.
Normally Neomedia borrows money every month from YA
Do they have a new sponsor?
I suspect that Scanbuy and NeoMedia are working together in the future.
I don't think google or another great player to pay for a patent of neomedia.
Or is it all just a gamble again?
What's going on here?
If today after the market closed neomedia reports no new loan funds from Ya, I think we have a new investor...
Since last 2 weeks, more than 350 million shares were traded, which are roughly half the available shares.
Is that correct?

i don't think that neomedia will be a great player in the barcode area the next time.
Laura ......" I expect you will be seeing more news from us in 2011"
when???? in the near future or at the end of the year.
blabla ...
always the same , nothing new....
they have nothing to say , perhaps business without money...
i believe the time is over, although i don't hope it.
i don't expect any significant revenues in the next quarters, perhaps lower than in the year before.
at the moment the pps says us nothing good...
that is the job from ya .
i think that is not the problem.
if neomedia would make money, the pps would be not here where we are at the moment.
but they don't!!!! AS I ALWAYS SAY
Laura and her team are unable!!

Mobile barcodes for publishing
By Laura Marriott of NeoMedia Technologies
The steady movement of publications of all shapes and sizes into the digital space is an undeniable trend in publishing right now. Publications have made the move into the digital space to provide readers with innovative and interactive content. One only has to look at companies on the forefront of publishing to see how important the online and mobile elements are to many publishers’ strategic focus, especially since the arrival of e-readers and tablets.
Virgin Media, for example, has launched the ground-breaking ‘Project’ magazine exclusively for the iPad2 for example, while News Corp and Apple have introduced ‘The Daily’, an i-newspaper designed exclusively for the computer tablet market in New York.3 Meanwhile the recently launched Guardian mobile site has been highly praised by consumers and experts alike. Designed to work on a range of mobile devices, and adapting to each phone’s capabilities, it has been a big success as consumers can access all the features of the website on their mobile.
The key to these new strategies for publishers has been the ability to fuse the traditional print world with new digital media, encouraging readers to use both old and new and directing traffic to the fresh mediums. It is here that mobile barcodes come into their own, making print media interactive and even more compelling, delivering multimedia content straight to a consumer’s mobile device whenever and wherever they are to enhance existing content and directing them to online and mobile destinations. Indeed, I recently saw an article in a leading UK newspaper that made reference to an online video that they were encouraging readers to view. As it was, they were missing a trick – by simply incorporating a mobile barcode into that article they could have facilitated and simplified the process for readers – taking them straight there in a single click.
For a publisher, this new mobile call to action offers a great way to engage with the consumer in new and interesting ways – in one simple scan from the mobile phone. Barcodes can be used to enhance editorial pieces by allowing readers to interact with the brand, access additional editorial and video content, link to other relevant destinations or find out more information about certain featured products and services. Metro for example has been adding 2D barcodes to its daily print edition, enabling readers to scan a code to add comments to its popular ‘Metro Mail’ section. This all helps to facilitate greater loyalty and repeat purchase of a magazine or newspaper, making what was once a static, one way communication into an interactive and compelling experience.
Mobile barcodes also offer publishers incentives in terms of their relationships with advertisers, providing a nice up sell for those advertisers looking to bring their ads to life and providing advertisers with a way to allow readers to discover more about their products or services, without taking up too much space on the page. Moreover, by placing a mobile barcode within an ad, the advertiser is now able to get information on how many readers ‘saw’ their ad by way of statistics on the interaction – helping them to judge their advertising spend accurately and giving the publisher good reason to be confident of repeat business. They can also be particularly effective in co-branded promotions; each barcode activating custom content produced by the magazine or multiple advertisers and sponsors and providing a simple means of accessing and collating valuable consumer data. Trade publication Mobile Europe for example used this to good effect in a promotion around Mobile World Congress, asking consumers to scan a barcode in order to enter a competition to win an iPad, and achieving a click through rate of nearly 3%.
In order to succeed however, publishers must ensure that the service and content they are offering is of value and relevance to their target reader, that it is regularly updated and works every time, on every handset. Using a third party company ensures the broadest possible reach by implementing barcode and reader applications and solutions that are standardized and tested across the widest range of devices, offer appropriate geographic coverage and high-quality user experiences – as well as the all important management and reporting functions.
If used in the right way then, mobile barcodes can enable publications to bring about long term consumer engagement, creating a mutually beneficial dialogue with readers and encouraging repeat purchase or readership. They can also help to better monetise publications’ apps or mobile websites, connecting their print presence with the new digital properties and helping to drive traffic, not to mention helping their advertisers to make more from their campaigns, which will in turn promote repeat advertising spend. A win-win situation for all!

Wien (pts/20.12.2010/09:00) - Adventfreude pur! Die Österreichische Post verkürzt den Österreichern die Wartezeit auf Weihnachten mit einem interaktiven Adventkalender. Versendet wurde dieser Ende November an 3,3 Millionen Haushalte. Die Kampagne läuft von 1. bis 24. Dezember 2010. Die QR-Codes samt dahinterliegenden mobilen Überraschungsseiten von IQ mobile sind dabei die Hauptakteure.
An 3,3 Millionen österreichische Haushalte wurden von der Post zu Beginn der Vorweihnachtszeit Adventkalender versendet. Darin enthalten sind unterschiedliche Aktionen von Kooperationspartnern wie Gewinnspiele, Rabatte oder Gutscheine. Mitmachen können Interessierte entweder über's Internet (umgesetzt von der Internetagentur Dialogschmiede) oder mit dem Handy.
Die mobile Umsetzung hat CEEs führende Mobile Marketing-Agentur IQ mobile inne. Hinter 16 Adventkalender-Türen verstecken sich QR-Codes, sogenannte standardisierte Mobile Tags wofür das Linkmanagement von NeoMedia zum Einsatz kommt. Diese QR-Codes werden vom User mit dem Handy gescannt und er gelangt umgehend auf die jeweilige mobile Landingpage, die für jeden Werbepartner individuell nach Aktion gestaltet und gebrandet wurde. Bei vielen Marken warten tolle Gewinne und die Teilnahmemechanik ist sehr einfach. Der User gibt seine Daten ein und bekommt entweder eine SMS oder ein E-Mail retour mit der Info zur Aktion, wie beispielsweise der Teilnahmebestätigung oder der direkten Zusendung eines Gutscheines.
"Dass die Neugier der Österreicher sehr groß ist und sie es mit dem zeitgerechten Öffnen des jeweiligen Kalendertages nicht so genau nehmen, zeigen die ersten Zahlen. Bereits vor dem 1. Dezember gab es über 10.000 Seitenaufrufe. Dies freut uns natürlich trotzdem, und zeigt, dass der Mobile 2D Barcode von vielen ohne Probleme angenommen und genutzt wird", freut sich Harald Winkelhofer, Gründer und Geschäftsführer von IQ mobile, der das Thema QR-Code in der Branche von Beginn an vorangetrieben hat.

Deloitte predicts mobile will play key role in holiday shopping process
By Giselle Tsirulnik

Mobile will play a role in holiday shopping
Mobile will play a role in holiday shopping
Consumers are turning to smartphones to make the most of their holiday budgets this year, according to Deloitte’s 25th annual holiday survey.
Shoppers 18-29 are expected to drive a significant portion of mobile usage this holiday season, with 37 percent planning to use their mobile phones during the shopping process. This group also ranks mobile No. 1 on the list of products or technologies that had the most significant impact on their lives (60 percent).
“We think that mobile will change in that it will become more mainstream—as retailers embrace mobile as an advertising and marketing vehicle and as the devices become capable of even more functionality, mobile will become even more mainstream,” said Alison Paul, vice chairman and retail sector leader at Deloitte, New York.

“We are already hearing a variety of uses from consumers – in addition to checking prices, more than half of the mobile users said they would leverage their phone to find store locations while 46 percent said they would use it to pull down product info,” she said.
“Other uses included actual shopping/ordering online and reading reviews of products.”
The survey was commissioned by Deloitte and conducted online by an independent research company between Sept. 23 and Oct. 10.
The survey polled a sample of 12,418 consumers and has a margin of error for the entire sample of plus or minus one percentage point.
Mobile shopping
Among all survey respondents, nearly one out of five (17 percent) plan to use their mobile phones during the holiday shopping process.
And, among those who plan to use their mobile phones to shop, more than half (56 percent) plan to compare prices or find store locations (54 percent).
Additionally, nearly half (46 percent) plan to look for product information, while about four out of 10 will use their phones to shop (42 percent) or read reviews (39 percent).
“We are recommending that retailers make sure they do two things when entering into the mobile fray—first, make sure that your messaging and delivery fit seamlessly into your overall marketing strategy,” Ms. Paul said.
“If it is not integrated, it may not help the brand’s overall image nor compel consumers to act,” he said.
“Second, mobile is not just your Web site on a phone—make sure the images and information fit a mobile device—that it is timely and readable.”

Ein umfassendes E-Publishing-Konzept
Das neue, als "revolutionär" bezeichnete, artikelbasiertes System unterstützt die Verlage zur Erstellung innovativer Publikationen. Es bedient die unterschiedlichen Bildschirmgrößen und -formate, wählt das Layout aus Vorlagen aus und ermöglicht so interaktive Publikationen. Geboten würden damit dem Leser alle aktuell verfügbaren Nachrichten und Artikel in Echtzeit, nicht ein Pendant zur gedruckten Zeitung mit den Nachrichten von gestern.
"NeoReader" heißt der Browser für Mobiltelefone und E-Reader. Er ist für die meistverwendeten mobilen Betriebssysteme verfügbar: iOS (iPad, iPhone), Meego (Nokia und Intel), Symbian (Nokia) und Android (Google). Dem Abonnenten stehen damit aktuelle Artikel auch unterwegs zur Verfügung. Mit Neoreader deckt das Unternehmen bereits jetzt über zwei Drittel aller Mobilgeräte ab.
"E-Pub" heißt die Lösung für das elektronische Publizieren für E-Books wie z.B. Kindle von Amazon. Die Anwendung ist textorientiert, statt in gedruckter Form wird das Buch am Display gelesen.
Mit den E-Publishing-Systemen werden entweder ganze Publikationen oder separate Artikel inkl. DRM-Schutz veröffentlicht. Der Content wird ebenso mit Doris32/Neo produziert wie die gedruckten Inhalte. Verkauf und Verteilung von E-Publikationen kann innerhalb der Systeme diese Anbieters geschehen oder mit vorhandenen Lösungen. "NeoSales" heißt die Lösung zur Abrechnung kostenpflichtiger Inhalte. Natürlich würden auch Anzeigen in den elektronischen Publikationen eingestreut, seien es animierte Banner oder Videos.
Anygraaf ist weltweit einer der größten Hersteller von Verlagssystemen. Weitere Informationen hierüber sind auch über die unten stehende Web-Adresse zu erhalten.

QR codes are everywhere these days, from glossy product flyers to billboards to T-shirts.
But it’s quite possible you have no idea what a QR code is and wouldn’t recognize one if you saw one. And I can assure you: You have seen one, even if you didn’t realize it. Not only that, you can expect to see a lot more of them.
So what is a QR code? It’s essentially a special type of square bar code in a matrix with other squares, like those on display here. But rather than being used by retailers to scan items at checkout, like other barcodes, QR codes are for your own use, with a camera-equipped mobile phone. (The QR stands for quick response.) By using an application known as a QR code reader on your phone, you’re able to scan a code with your phone’s camera, and then view a website, text or contact information.
That’s right. You see a QR code on a movie poster, an advertisement or whatever else, and then you snap an image of it. Seconds later, a website or other information pops up on your phone, connecting the physical world of objects with the digital information stored in the world of internet-connected devices.
Many of you, I suspect, have only one question: Why?
Why would a company put a QR code on a bar of soap or a magazine ad, and why would a normal person run around snapping images of obscure-looking barcodes at cafes, signs and elsewhere?
Trust me: People do this, and they’re not crazy.
Let’s start with the reasons why a company, small business, consultant or anyone else might want to use a QR code. These examples should give you a sense of the possibilities.
• Real-estate sign: A for-sale sign outside a house could have a QR code on it, leading directly to a slideshow of the interior of the house. (The slideshow might end with the real-estate agent’s email address.) Someone walking by the house could watch the slideshow right there, without having to jot down a web address or head back to a computer.
• Historic neighborhood tour: A series of QR codes, posted outside historic spots (parks, sculptures, homes, and so forth), could lead visitors on a tour of a neighborhood by linking to phone-friendly maps and directions. Each spot’s code would direct visitors to the next destination.
• Sales flyers: A one-page newspaper insert, with just a few for-sale items highlighted, could lead to a special coupon or a webpage with additional items on sale.
• Movie poster: The poster could link to a video that’s a preview of the movie.
• Product identification: A QR code attached as a sticker to your mobile phone could provide your name and email address, making it possible for someone to contact you if you lose your phone.
• Business card: Put a QR code on a business card, and you can send visitors directly to your website.
To experiment with QR codes, visit QR-Code Generator (qrcode.kaywa.com), and you’ll see how easy it is to create one. It’s not much harder than typing text or a web address into an online form, and then pressing a button. Soon enough, your QR code is ready and waiting.
Now is it really worth the trouble to take out your phone to snap an image of a QR code? Put it this way: It doesn’t cost anything, and it can be convenient — and even fun. If you have a smartphone, there is likely a QR reader available for it. Popular options include NeoReader for the iPhone and Barcode Scanner for Android phones.
Once you have a reader, trust me, you’ll start seeing QR codes everywhere.

I agree with you that there needs to be more collaboration among the mobile barcode community which is something we are working to achieve through our partners. Industry analysts are now following this space, including Gartner, IDC and Forrester, with Forrester recently putting out a report on 2d barcodes. Individual barcode companies like Microsoft and Scanbuy have also issued their own numbers, representing their slice of the ecosystem.
However, since these individual point solutions are not yet interoperating there is no aggregate data on the adoption rate or usage statistics for the barcode industry as a whole. Neustar is working with the MMA and others to help establish more focus and promotion of use cases. You’ll see more on this soon

Brighthand Film Festival Zeros In on Mobile Marketing
By Tim Scannell, Brighthand.com Contributor | 9/9/2010 TechnologyGuide and Brighthand will host the 2nd Brighthand Mobile Film Festival this October in San Francisco, as part of the CTIA Enterprise & ApplicationsTM 2010 event, showcasing the best and brightest in made-for-mobile content.
This time around, we're taking a look at mobile advertising and marketing, which is expected to increase substantially with the introduction of powerful and flexible new smartphones, operating system platforms, and location-aware consumer and business applications. The festival will showcase both Commercial and User Generated Content (UGC). Videos will be available for review via a special film viewing and submissions portal on Brighthand, which was developed for the event.
Attendees at the event will have the opportunity to use their mobile phones to vote for the best videos, thanks to technology provided by event partner Renu Mobile. The mobile marketing company will also provide 2D Quick Codes that will let smartphone users capture an image for more information on the festival highlights. Winners will also be selected by a panel of judges and awarded a $50 gift card. The finalists and winners may also have the opportunity to have their films distributed on mFlix, an even partner and mobile media channel on the Sprint wireless network.
Mobile marketing and the use of digital coupons, 2D quick codes and SMS advertising by retailers worldwide will generate more than $8b in business by 2012, says Juniper Research. Worldwide smartphone sales have surged to more than 61.5m units sold, notes Gartner Research. These sales are driven by a new wave of media-capable phones, including the Apple iPhone and phones based on Google's Android operating platform.
"Mobile smartphones are quickly evolving to become a primary pathway onto the Internet for all types of users," said Tim Scannell, TechnologyGuide Editorial Director. "This has created a whole new audience that is closer to the point of purchase and ready to make on-the-spot buying decisions if they have the right information at the right time."
As part of the program, Brighthand will be presenting a panel discussion on the current state and future of mobile advertising. Panelists include Brighthand Editor Ed Hardy, Renu Mobile CEO Carol Glennon, MobileTrax chief analyst Dr. Gerry Purdy, and others from the wireless and mobile community. TechnologyGuide Editorial Director Tim Scannell will moderate.
"The Brighthand Mobile Film Festival spotlights the ingenuity and creative nature of mobile film. Film content generated for mobile consumption has evolved at a phenomenal rate and will come to have significant bearing on the consumer decision process in the near future." added Carol Glennon, Chief Executive Officer, Renu Mobile.
Check out our event page on FaceBook for updated information. Pre-register on for the event on FaceBook and you'll be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card.
