Based on previous 'milestones' I would have to say a run is unlikely. (Hope I am proven wrong) Everyone who follows this knows that 500,000 is coming. These announcements are actually rather anti-climatic. I think 500K is a great milestone but it's one that everyone follows.

IMO The 500K PR may generate further interest from a few new eyes but overall the co. doesn't appear to be doing much to excite its core shareholders these days.

The only thing that could run this IME is a strong statement from co. that they are in effect 'for sale' and that they are now marketing themselves to get bought out.

The co. has made some great steps but we need the whole package and that most-definitely includes promotion. I advocate self-promotion in that to me the most important part of 500,000 users is a healthy base of 'clients' if you will who could potentially buy additional goods and services.

Where hypster.com can succeed where others fail is focusing on and figuring out how to get dollars or cents for that matter out of each and every head that comes through the gate. If they could come up with some paying service upgrades I would probably shell-out $12-$50 per year I think in this economy doing this is ultimately going to mean survival of the brand and also a greater chance for a rewarding buyout.

I also think they need to get a celebrity to raise some exposure for hypster.com Individual doesn't need to be a musician necessarily aka. William Shatner priceline.com or a Paris Hilton type of player.

Give the celebrity some shares, publicity and even cash in return for promoting hypster.com Create a specific PR to announce celebrity endorsement. Celebrities lend their name to bogus services all of the time and we're a legitimate one.

These kind of initiative(s) would excite core shareholders, attract attention of fence-sitters and could also bring in some day-traders. A combination of traders is needed to bring
VOLUME and then this could move up nicely. MMs are sitting pretty here at these levels and we need to shake things up w/ volume.
