Agreed valentine. Id have though with ainsoph gone old oily would have returned to earth but it doesnt seem likely or possible.
Sadly someones pinched my name to use on moanyam to try and add some credibility to the ainsoph touch.
Oily its not you is it? Beacause oily best describes the untstinting smarm and praise which he lavishes upon the mighty ains. It could of course be ains himself always unstinting in his self regard.
Anyway its hight time oily lightened up and stopped looking around for new targets here.

Quidnunc,
I think if you check out the guy who imPersonates you on the other side has a slightly different slant on TAD and KDC,to me-I have never dignified her with the diminutive of ainsoph, and have no intention of posting with your - with all due respect- distinctively odd nick-name, I would think that the smarm poured over him is from one of the Pifflers, as to me taking the p$s out of those whom I do on here, I have never included you, the three or four I do laugh at take themselves and the share far too seriously, and I need no search for targets- these clowns are permanently posing on top of the parapet.

TAD DOWN almost 5% volume all over the place, no mention of directors buying even a token share -result stagnation!

That still makes you a FRAUD.

At least I have well and truly squelched the false quidnunc on here.

It really is pathetic to use someone elses established nickname.

Contra

Agree with you entirely.

Anyone that hides behind anothers Name must be up to

One to watch out for


HAVING dealt with Toad, above, there is also something appearing to be happening to Tadpole Technology. The shares got a major lift early this week on market rumours that a large deal is in the offing. News is expected either on, or before, the companys yearly meeting on 31 March.

From 3i's by Ken Thompson.


Having listened to people I respect, read the notes and pondered, my own opinion(formed by discussion with others) of the situation is :

1. The recent GEM drawdwon was to provide the operating funding for the Tadpole to continue to function. As much was said in statements from the company recently.

2. This will continue, in my opinion, until revenues from Cartesia, particularly OS, kick in the second half of the year. The need for GEM should than be much reduced and possibly ended.

3. I do not think that we are currently seeing a new GEM drawdown at all. Instead we are seeing GEM selling the shares from the previous drawdown. I guess they felt that weak markets couldn't take 10.5 million shares in one go. So they sold what they could and are now placing the rest in blocks of 250k.
By my reckoning they must be getting very close to the end of the 10.5 million now and thus GEM will cease for a while or even permanently with luck. For this day I am invested and looking forward to.

4. Undoubtedly GEM is a drag on the share price..............who would buy shares in numbers at the moment knowing there was a possiblity of forward momentum in the share price being reversed by the next GEM drawdown. However I firmly believe that Cartesia and ETI are in a very strong position to outperform the figures laid out in the recent brokers note. This opinion was reinforced by the recent Centia news and the success of Apps with Autodesk.

I think this should significantly reduce the companies reliance on GEM funding. I would also hope that Bernard Hulme would make the end of our need for GEM loudly and publicly known so the cloud can be lifted. But who am I to tell him how to run a potentially massive business. He has more experience than me of running software firms( Santa Cruz was billion dollar company).

The forecast in my opinion...........cloudy at the moment but there are distinct signs that the sun is about to break through.

Stick with it Albie, being sceptical of false dawns with tad is good. I would like to see solid progress, the end of GEM and the prospect of a massive payday from MS, HP et Al gives me something to dream about but I won't hold my breath about waiting.

Very good post moneylender, although I think ains probably led you to the site.
It must be a privilege working under him so much.

Tadpole-Cartesia Business Partners

Goodness me moneylender that is an impressive list, we are so lucky to be involved with such an impressive company really aren`t we?
Ains, well done for showing moneylender how to do that show, you are the best, your "right hand " must be very tired now , a well deserved rest for the weekend will be cool.

and more moneylender?.
I wish I was clever enough to be able to do pretty pictures like that, but sadly ains is not a real intimate of mine, unlike yourself.
You must be very proud to have been chosen as his pupil.
Keep up the good work, a few more of these and TAD will jump like a frog next week, mark my words.
Thanks for all your support for our dear ains this week, such a brick.

Tadpole's Web Software Subsidiary Becomes First Company to Offer Enterprises
Seamless And Secure Interoperability Between Public Instant Messaging
Products

New Endeavors' software makes IM communications between AOL, AIM and MSN
Messenger users now a reality; unique IM solution preserves the user
experience with no change to the IM client; Magi Secure XIM gives
enterprises cross-platform control of user messages and file transfers

###

Cambridge (UK), March 25, 2003 - Tadpole Technology plc (LSE - TAD) today
announces that its Endeavors Technology subsidiary has released software to
enable full native interoperability of popular instant messaging (IM)
products. For the first time, users can communicate securely between
different public IM products, and enterprises can monitor employee instant
messaging and chat sessions, and control the flow of corporate intelligence.

Called Magi Secure XIM, Endeavors Technology's new software product has been
built to leave the IM platform untouched and preserve the user experience
and 'buddy' lists. Singularly, it provides corporations with strong
cross-platform security controls over instant messaging and chat rooms, thus
supporting the extended adoption of IM in businesses and applications. The
software is deployable instantly across an enterprise and requires no
modifications to existing network architectures. This also gives the
enterprise control of their own directories and helps them manage their own
employees as well as communications with partners, suppliers and customers.
This way, the enterprise can centrally control security policies while user
adoption is enhanced with the use of public IM.

"Magi Secure XIM brings to an end an era of closed proprietary IM platforms
and uncontrolled instant messaging in the enterprise," said Kapi Attawar, VP
marketing of Endeavors Technology. "Deployed across and beyond an
enterprise, the software supports the extended use of popular IM platforms
in business, and singularly allows corporations to manage IM communications
in a similar way to e-mail."

With Magi Secure XIM, an AOL AIM user can open an IM channel with a MSN
Messenger user and vice versa directly from their existing IM client. Magi
Secure XIM is a plug-in product and is transparent to the user. It supports
the features and functionality of commercial IM products so there's no
training, infrastructure change or switching costs involved in getting IM
fully and finally back under corporate IT control. Magi Secure XIM also
improves large file getting and sending, and incorporates smart local-loop
routing so that communications travel point-to-point internally which
prevents sensitive company information leaving the enterprise firewall..

A principal feature of Magi Secure XIM is its unique ability to look up
corporate identities from popular IM buddy names and underwrite them with
strong Public Key Infrastructure based authentications to avoid identity
spoofing, and allow financial grade non-repudiation, tracking, and auditing.

Endeavors Technology previously announced the release of Magi Secure IM for
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Microsoft's MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger
as single products to route instant messages through a fully compliant and
auditable cross-enterprise communications proxy. Endeavors, however,
continued its quest to create interoperability between these products in
order to ease corporate concerns of eventual lock-in or over-exposure to a
single vendor's product.

Enterprises have long called for secure interoperability of popular IM
products, with financial services and healthcare organizations leading the
call. These heavily regulated industries are under pressure by government
agencies to manage instant messages and chat sessions as they would phone
and e-mail communications. With more than 60 million enterprise workers
already using one IM product or another, analyst group IDC has predicted
enterprise deployment of IM is expected to leap to over 255 million users by
2005.

Recently, the Financial Instant Messaging Association (FIMA) requested IM
vendors to agree on standards as soon as possible. FIMA is currently
comprised of seven large Wall Street firms including Credit Suisse First
Boston, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch,
Morgan Stanley and UBS Warburg. Endeavors is a founding technology vendor
member of the association.

Tadpole Technology waved goodbye to its chief executive yesterday and today launched some new software for the financial industry; the hint is that it is lining up a deal to better exploit its leading edge software.


Bernard Hulme left the company with immediate effect and non-exec chairman David Lee has become executive chairman.

Today, Tadpole (TAD) announced the launch of Magi Secure XIM, software that will allow financial institutions and others that rely on instant messaging, to be able to communicate securely with users of different instant messaging (IM) systems. To date, users of AOL AIM have been unable to communicate with users of Microsoft's MSN Messenger for example.

Tadpole says that its new product provides a bolt-on that enables different systems to communicate. It also provides an audit trail, so that company's can keep track of what's being said over IM.

The Magi software comes from Tadpole's Endeavors business in the US. Endeavors is the supposed jewel in the crown, with its suite of software for peer-to-peer collaboration known as Magi.

The software, which among other things enables direct, secure communication between one mobile device and another, allowing users to share files and work on them together, has been well received by major companies such as Intel, but has yet really to be sold into any major customers.

Hulme was responsible for taking Tadpole from being a small hardware supplier to a company with this leading edge software, but he has also presided over the fall in share price from 70.5p in May 2000 to less than 5.25p today.

Tadpole has yet to really exploit the Endeavors technology, and in the meantime, the hardware business it was relying on for its bread and butter was badly hit by the downturn in capital expenditure for IT in the past couple of years. This led the company to sell its US-based server business in December.

Today's product announcement coincides with the start of a two-day conference by Sunguard, the systems integrator that specialises in financial software, at which the Magi software will be demonstrated.

Recently, the Financial Instant Messaging Association (FIMA) requested IM vendors to agree on standards as soon as possible. FIMA currently comprises seven large Wall Street firms including Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank, J P Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS Warburg. Endeavors is a founding technology vendor member of the association.

It is believed that Tadpole needs some independent third party verification that the software works, and this may come from Sunguard this week.

Citywire Verdict:

There are constantly rumours flying around about Tadpole, which have continued to fuel interest among small investors, but few of which ever amount to anything.

The current ones include the idea that Tadpole is about to collaborate with a major player to get some of the Endeavors technology into the market, and that once the interoperability of the product has been proven, there may be a deal on the cards in the US with Microsoft.

It is not clear if it will bring in a new chief executive, but a more high profile software salesman type might be in order now.

It would be high time for some really substantial news from Tadpole, but be very wary, this company has done nothing but disappoint for the last two years.

Special report
Message in a bottleneck
Instant messaging, corporate software
rub shoulders in the workplace.




Start-up Endeavors Technology said it has found a way to bridge the chasm separating popular instant messaging by America Online and Microsoft.
The upstart on Tuesday unveiled software that it claims will allow AOL Instant Messenger users to communicate with MSN Messenger users. Although the two Internet giants have waged battles when one attempted to interoperate with the other, Endeavors Technology believes its workaround will let AOL and MSN users communicate without violating their proprietary networks.

The software, called Magi Secure XIM, works alongside the AOL and MSN tools and creates a communication bridge between the two services. But instead of letting an AOL user directly exchange messages with an MSN user, the software creates a peer-to-peer connection with another person who has downloaded the IM clients and Magi.



Magi, similar to popular IM management software Trillian, does not create a direct connection between AOL and MSN servers. Rather, the software allows a person to integrate both so-called buddy lists onto one interface and send messages to anyone regardless of the system used.

"You can go from desktop to desktop, and you don't have to go through an AOL server," said Kapi Attawar, vice president of marketing at Endeavors Technology.

This may be an important distinction. AOL, the largest instant messaging service, has long thwarted attempts by competitors, namely Microsoft, from tapping into its servers and communicating with its IM users. Server-to-server interoperability has become a controversial topic because rival instant messaging providers want to communicate with AOL's enormous customer base.

Other companies, such as IBM and even Microsoft's server group, have said interoperability will be crucial in IM's adoption as a business communications tool. However, AOL, MSN and Yahoo have amassed large enough user bases that opening up these networks would not be feasible without a business incentive.

Endeavor Technology considers the launch of its Magi Secure XIM product a solution to the issue of interoperability. The company plans to sell the technology to other companies, bundling the service with security and authentication, but does not have any customers who have implemented the service. YET :0)give'em chance lol

Microsoft and AOL declined to comment on the product.YET :0)
