Does SiHub Inc need BzzAgents?

#msg-9293153 They're [stockhouse.com] bigger than either of our sites,
but their focus are Churakians [which] is an iHub sideline.

The Story Behind the Bzz

... seeds of BzzAgent were planted in late 2001 when [Dave] found himself
at a transition period in his life. He'd recently sold a promotions agency
and was looking for the next challenge.

... had read books like The Tipping Point, Unleashing the Idea-Virus, and Anatomy of Buzz.

Dave was interested in the concept of "buzz", but he wasn't sure how to apply it.

Dave's friend, Eric, told him about Butterfly Economics, a book about the new speed
of communications and how people's voices were affecting the world economy.

The author, Paul Omerod, [makes] the point that business [is] a matter
of understanding that people are the change agents.

... no one was truly tapping into the honest voices of consumers.

What if there was a way to tap into the very nature of people
-- to understand how people communicate --
and help them share honest Word-of-Mouth with each other?
... the rest is history.

I like this idea - trustmarks.

"What if there was a way to tap into the very nature of people

to fullfill why they come to IH, a.k.a. to make money in the markets?
