In at 3.75 out at 6. Regrets that was my target price and had to stick to it. I am pleased and will go up the shop and buy some sweets.

mactavish - some very good points but FYI polly peck went bust!

That flurry in the share price was just after your comment iamole, do you know something we don't? :) I wouldn't be surprised to see it up a couple tomorrow to find a better average ove the last few weeks.

A 7p buy, first of many..

Sssshhh - well that put the kiss of death on the sp - now down to 6.25

Good grief, I should have listened to Paul and the other guys....

Isn't life fun!!!

It's got a lot further to go, Directors were buying at 13p when they thought it had bottomed and bought again last week, we've seen bottom and can now look forward to stabilisation and then with time and more users of their products which are at the fore of their sector.

Niels Hi, I thought you would have got in this morning, as you can see, my post was genuine thanks for NOP :) at one point today I was 50% up, but I am holding out for 100% ! .... so much for another classic iidiot short, his butt got burnt to a crisp today ! .... LOL !!!! .... cheers, PM

Hi Paul. Lost my nerve. Also I'm not sure I want to sit in front of a TV fiddling with a phone. I prefer the Internet. Well, time will tell if this is just another idea that goes down the drain, or will make some lucky guys rich. I just don't believe in having so many offices and burning money the way this company does.

Wish you all the best of luck!

Bye,

Niels

Price fall out last week has almost certainly cleared the overhang that has been dragging on the price for months. If YOO can produce a relative upbeat trading statement then its back up to 20p imho.

Niels

Has the company responded to you yet?

It would appear to me after hunting high & low that it could be possible that U have 1 patent in the UK that is pending in other countries as per comment in techdrift below, that I modified slightly (dropped the h at the beginning),

ttp://www.techdirt.com/news/wireless/mail/2558?_done=%2Fnews%2Fwireless%2Farchive%2F2542%3Fdir%3Dup

&

as per their press release on the 22/5/02 they own the licence to a patent.


I just would like to see something on the U website that clearly tells us what patents & or licences to patents it holds & in the case of licences how exclusive they are.

That the best I can do for now unfortunatelly.

Was hoping to get some concrete response from the supposedly more informed posters re patents

ps my average fwiw is now 9.5 & I am hopefull.

I'd be surprised if it's not up a penny or two tomorrow morning, the gains should get larger with more media interest.

Hi All, as most of you know, I am on holiday until 4th July, and I am posting from my phone, so I cannot post anything on the Patents, until I can get back to my PC. Yoomedia make patent statemrnts in RNS, and I suggest someone goes through all previous RNS and posts those statements here. Cheers,PM

I'm out for a very tidy quick profit, may jump back in when the times right.

I can't find anything about patents. Why is it that it so slow going up with loads of buys yet when theres one sell the mms reduce the sp?

too volatile, I'm out at 7.3

Iamole - well done - smart move - and what an excellent offer price - I think.

I missed the spike
Baza

Don't own enough shares in this to trade my way into a better position for the long term so I'm sticking with it.
Still feel fairly confident that it was all very much over done and that by the end of the year I will be showing reasonable profits.
But well done to those of you who can play the traders at their own game and build a better position through timing your outs and back ins again!!

YooMedia launches YES for interactive marketing By Staff


Interactive entertainment firm YooMedia has launched a new division, YES, (YooMedia Enhanced Solutions), a multi-channel interactive solutions provider, enabling marketers to use the most appropriate platform for specific campaign objectives.
The service will provide a one-stop shop for marketers to implement campaigns across multiple media, including mobile, interactive TV and broadband.

Based in London, YES will have an initial staff of eight account directors, experienced in the online mobile and iTV sectors, supported by a team of 40 interactive platform designers and developers.

Nestle Rowntree has already signed up to YES, powering its recent Kit Kash promotion, which allowed customers to redeem virtual currency via an SMS-based on-pack call-to-action and then bid for items at the KitKash.co.uk auction site.

David Bainbridge, previously managing director of mobile marketing agency Whoosh and deputy marketing director at Channel 5, will lead YES.

Forward thinking marketing managers understand that we have entered a new era of communication where they need to be engaging with consumers rather than just talking at them, said Bainbridge.

Despite the opportunities that interactive marketing clearly provides, many brand managers remain confused by the opportunities offered by these new channels and the plethora of interactive providers across web, mobile and interactive TV.

Neil MacDonald, group managing director, Yoomedia added: YES will provide the skill sets, insight and production know-how to allow brands and agencies to work with a single multi-channel specialist with a track record in delivering award-winning interactive solutions.

Crucially, YES will be led by marketing professionals who are passionate about interactive marketing and, focused on developing the most appropriate solution for the brand or campaign, regardless of whether its across mobile, interactive TV or online.

YooMedia, the largest interactive operation in the UK after Sky and the BBC, previously created and maintains fixed odds gaming service, Channel 425, for William Hill on Sky.

It has also provided mobile to TV interactivity for ITVs Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire TV show, enabling over 2 million people to play along in real-time via SMS since October of last year. Interactive TV advertising clients include Honda and P&G.
