		<description>Not to weigh in on Stu and JQ&#039;s conversation, but Stu, JQ is correct -  there is no country known as Palestine.  It is a moniker used to refer to an area of the globe, most of which is part of Israel.  Palestine is a territory at best, especially as its semi-autonomous government has been at war with itself for the past few years...

Seriously TC, you have dropped in the quality of your reporting.

Not to mention that bragging that your site is in the top 1000 sites for 3 &quot;countries&quot; which have extremely low levels of internet access and/or literacy, is fairly inane.  Kind of like saying &quot;Welcome to Mike&#039;s Dive Shop - the top scuba diving emporium in South West El Paso&quot;...</description>

		<description>WOW!! You posters here are so smart! 
This is the first pump stock I have seen trade this huge amount of ZERO shares!  You tech people should stick to commenting on tech articles and not make uneducated remarks about topics you obviously have no clue about!</description>

		<description>How is this news?  Techcrunch is going downhill.  Most of VOIS members likely joined b/c they were spammed...and never returned after they realized this site was a sham.   Just look at most of the posts to this article...they stink of spam.  I bet most of them are from the same IP Address or geographical region...cough Boca Raton cough.  I was on the site for a short time frame and I can&#039;t believe how many &quot;people&quot; wanted to be my friend that seemed like bots or company hired individuals (VOIS tries hard to make you feel like it&#039;s a real network).  Just look at the first person who spammed me:

		<description>Thanks Stu - you must be philistinian. 

As in the word philistine refers to a person deficient in the culture of the liberal arts; or can also connote a smug and intolerant opponent of the bohemian, one who exhibits a restrictive moral code. See Philistinism. 

You can find that too on wikipedia ... the source of all truth.

Thank you Stu - protector of the universe. Maybe you should run for office.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s nothing wrong with Web 1.0 per se! There are many terrific sites that are strictly 1.0 and deliver the goods (such as, er, ours). But for a social networking site it might be a bit better to be totally 2.0ish.</description>

		<description>#78 response

“beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.”

That&#039;s why they are called beer goggles. or was it google&#039;s?  

Because all the fist female employees at Google are very attractive now to some men regardless of what they look like, or what you have been drinking.

Beauty is 401k deep.  I could not refuse.  sorry.</description>

It&#039;s very easy to use and friendly designed, besides there is so many features that makes me really happy using the site. I signed up 2 months ago and now I have so many friends there.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been on vois for a couple of months now.  It&#039;s been a great social networking site for me personally as well as my business.  It&#039;s really easy to maneuver around the site, and add things to, or taking things away from your profile is very uncomplicated.

I think this site is more like the myspace for grownups.  Love it.</description>

		<description>Let me start by giving full disclosure. I do own shares of Vois Inc. I actually owned shares of its predecessor, Medstrong International, which have since been converted into Vois shares after a reverse merger and name change. Obviously, I have a vested interest in the success of Vois. Nevertheless, I am going to make this post as objective as humanly possible.

Firstly, I am not an idiot. I do realize that there are a plethora of social networking websites and that Vois is currently a little fish in a big pond. I also know that OTC instills fear in the hearts of many an investor. (A point of clarification is in order - OTC is not the &quot;pink sheets.&quot; Pink sheets stocks are far riskier as there is absolutely no reporting requirements. Thus, for the poster(s) who refer to Vois as a pink sheet stock, I really think you&#039;re being dishonest and misleading. Also, the fact that Vois trades on the BB is due to the its corporate predecessor having been listed there.)

Now this is going to sound like a hair club commercial but it&#039;s the truth: Not only am I a shareholder of Vois, I am also a member.  (Lorenzo, age 36. Check it out if you&#039;d like.) I figured the least I could do was put my mouth where my money was, so to speak. I wanted to get involved and see what it was all about. I joined in December, 2006 and have logged on religiously every day since. I have made a bunch of new friends, including the two founders, Gary and Herb, and even Chloe who has posted on here. (Hey babe!) I&#039;ve also gotten my friends from work involved. They&#039;re on vois for the same reason as I am - -  to meet like minded individuals, share some photos, post or comment on blogs, &quot;pimp&quot; our profiles, express ourselves on line in a non-offensive way, and basically have just a little bit of fun in an otherwise dreary, none-fun world. 

I&#039;ve also taken advantage of the blog feature on vois which is as good or better than any others out there. It is certainly one of the most user friendly I have come across. And, for some reason or another, people actually read my rants. If you go to the vois home page and click on blogs, go to most viewed. I&#039;m number 4 with over 2,000 reads. 

Also, any member will agree that the site is constantly being upgraded with new features. Users can have multiple photo albums and even private albums.  Vois members can use the chat feature to communicate in real time. There are thousands of customize features, comments, backgrounds, etc. And with only a click on your home page, you can find all other members who share your interest in a particular movie, band, book, etc. And, being almost computer illiterate, the user friendliness of Vois is welcomed. It is also nice that there aren&#039;t any 12 year olds on this site. It&#039;s 18 and over and most of the people I&#039;ve met are more in the 25-50 range, i.e., my range! 

Look, I have no idea if Vois is ever going to catch on and become synonymous with facebook and myspace. But I do know that a whole lot of effort is going into this site daily. I also know that the two founders, Gary and Herb, are extremely responsive. I usually get a response to my messages within a day and have even spoken with them on the phone a few times to discuss the site. In fact, Gary has called me to defend a certain action taken by Vois after I criticized them in a blog. So believe me when I say that I am more than willing to call a spade a spade.

As for those referring this to a pump and dump, my response is as follows: With a &quot;pump and dump&quot; scheme, the point is to inflate a stock price by posting false or misleading statements in order to garner interest. The company being &quot;pumped&quot; usually has very little substance behind it. Vois is not such a company. First of all, it has been a publicly traded company for a year and has flown so far under the radar that it has hardly traded at all. It&#039;s daily volume was about 300 shares. Thus, there has been no &quot;pumping&quot; whatsoever. Please google vois.com or Vois Inc. and show me what can remotely be considered a &quot;pump.&quot; 

More importantly is the fact that there is a lot of substance here. Just look at the site itself, which I think speaks volumes. Be real honest. Does it look remotely shitty to any of you? I think it looks pretty damn vibrant, user friendly, interactive, relevant, contemporary, professional and alive. Do all of the naysayers among us think it is that easy to create such a site? Would people really go through all of that effort, expense and resources if this were such a scam? I tend to doubt it. Perhaps I&#039;m being naive. Wouldn&#039;t be the first time. And if I am being naive, then I&#039;m probably going to lose some money soon. Wouldn&#039;t be the first time for that either. Funny how investing goes. You win some. You lose some. I&#039;d like to think of myself as cautiously optimistic. And honest. 

No one knows what the future holds for Vois. It could become a household name in a couple of years, or it can go by the wayside without registering so much as a blip on the 2.0 radar. Can&#039;t we at least give it some time before we decide its fate?</description>

		<description>You all that claim Vois is the second coming of the web cannot be anonymous (no real links) because you are coming here testifying to something. &quot;Chloe, Nicole2229, Zed, Simon, Audrey,Henrietta, Cee, Sergey. Debbie&quot;.

WTF? Are you all aware how many females normally post comments here? 

Duncan? Can you please check the IPs of these posters and confirm they are indeed all unique?

I, and others, can post anon  b/c we are critically analyzing the merits of the site and bringing up issues we have with the idea of YET_ANOTHER_SOCIAL_NETWORK
