There’s still plenty of cash around, and the smart money’s going to start shopping in Filenes’ Blue Chip Basement soon. Gates’ bridge partner has tons of it. So does Prince Al Waleed.

I have questions and please answer them, if you answer them honestly I will stop replying to your spam, if not I will post them to every comment I ever see you make.

1. Is this you (http://www.xtremelocator.com/) if so this is good, and can see the use for it.?

2. What exactly does your service do? I mean I watched your video declaring you “king of location” but I can’t locate anything on your site, so what does your site currently provide, and what does it hope to provide?

3. I thought it was used to locate things, so say I wanted to find bibles I would go to bibleslocator.com, if I wanted prostitutes I would go to prostitutelocator.com, watches go to watcheslocator.com? Yet when I go to watcheslocator.com I don’t get presented with watches I get NOTHING, ohh I have to go to watchlocator.com, but I don’t get watches their either, no I get http://professi...cator.ning.com/ that shows me videos of “votelocator.com” not exactly what I wanted is it? So I see other locators to the left side, nope watches not there either, let’s try clicking on all 78 (how does 1200 domains translate to only 78 of the locators?), wait it’s not their either… hmmm I guess I can’t locate watches in the new and improved way to search for things???? That sucks, can I go back to the old way of search?

4. Explain to me how a directory listing of all content is better than the current search? I mean currently I go to the search engine of my choice, there is a box I type in what I want, and they display sites that match my search (takes all of 5 seconds). Your I type in almostanythinglocator.com and I am redirected to a main page then I have to find the category I want, then have to dig through the stuff (and what determines the display order) to find a site or content (this takes allot longer), and has been done, yahoo dir, dmoz, and many others, this same principle is on all classifieds, ebay, and any other listing service (yet because this method sucks, they all have what…. A search box).

5. Your own site has a search box, so I am supposed to abandon current search methods, to come to your site and use the current search method to find the correct group so I can then use the “new search method”?

6. How are you profitable? 1200+ domains cost you a minimum of 12,000 a year for reg alone, not including man hours, hosting, paying ning to remove the ads, so how are you making money from all your time?

7. Why did you go with xxxLocator.com incurring a 10 yearly fee for each one, running the risk of someone owning one you want, when you could have done subdomains? X.mylocator.com, x2.mylocator.com and so on?

8. I want to find information on the latest Chevy prototype, explain to me step by step how I find that using your locator? Or I want to find out about Levis how step by step can I do that using your service? I couldn’t figure it out on my own. (maybe I’m stupid, or maybe your service needs allot of work?)

How am I a sissy? Ohh because I post anonymous posts…. Ok call me sissy or coward if I don’t want my personal views tied to my company. Unlike you I can afford to be anonymous in what I post because I don’t need the links to my sites, because I unlike you have a useful service that people pay good money for, and I do traditional networking/advertising, along with text ads. Am I rich no, am I poor no, do I make a good living YES. You see the problem with posting your personal believes and tying them to your companies via links is this…. People have different views and sometimes those personal views get mixed in with their purchasing decisions, tying your views to your company can cause you to lose sales.

So you go ahead and call me “sissy”, but the bank will keep calling me “preferred”, and my friends and family will keep calling me “successful”.

What are you talking about boner? Authorizing a buyback and executing it are very different.

Still the fact remain Yang couild have taken his marbles home at $33 and walked away but he thought he was invincible and could do better. Flippin idiot!

Ditto –Mike is really too blind and stupid to “give it a rest” –Sadly, he will not… Plus, he is totally oblivious to the fact that ‘what goes around, comes around, eventually’ More so in the Valley.
Let’s see if TC survives the turmoil. Thanks to Mike, TC is like a run away tiny train driven by a retarded monkey –it is just one of hundreds of blogs.

Microsoft is running at $23.53 even after spending huge sums in a buy back of its stock and increasing its dividend. This is not a Yahoo problem, the entire market has crashed, duh! I will remind you this is the first real movement that Microsoft has seen in their stock in about seven years and it was in the same direction as everyone else.

Yahoo would be in no better shape if MS bought them. I doubt Microsoft even has the cash now.

Yahoo! has lost finacial value. It is not losing any _economic_ value. Its properties are superb, its traffic kills, it has excellent and proven revenue streams. The problem with Yahoo is the cost side. New management can fix this easily and swiftly.

Awesome assets, incompetent management = huge turnaround opportunity.

We’ve seen this movie before, in hundreds of old economy giants. The only Q is how long it will take the board to act. Rating: Strong Buy @$13/share
