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

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.

Some pointers for the newbies, of which there have been many over the past week

1) 300,000 K - 100,000,000 million turnover growth within two years, cash positive by this year end.

2)First choice partner for ITV & BBC where time stamped SMS technology required - why ????, because Yoomedia hold the patent.

3)Clients include worldwide broadcaster Celador - who are currently rolling out Yoomedia driven " Walkaway " SMS interactive game in 105 countries that it broadcasts in - initial success of the take up on this has seen " Who Wants To Be A Millionaire " on UK TV screens for over six months - this has never happened before.

4)Broadcast partner to FTSE 100 member " William Hill " via channel 425 on BSKYB - William Hill are able to plug its offerings on BSKYB on a daily basis in all of its 1600 UK Outlets - what a partner to have.

5) Yoomedia are a licensed bookmaker in their right.

6) Recently awarded a contract with BSKYB to provide interactivity in over 30,000 licensed UK premises where satellite TV is available on its SKY SPORTS channel, excellent income potential from interactive SMS games from the coming premiership football season - watch out for this one.

7) Interactive marketing partner to Nestle, who sell worldwide in over 127 countries - Yoomedia provided its services for the one of Nestle's most successful interactive marketing campaigns ever - KitKash - which was plastered on millions and million of Kit Kat wrappers - what exposure for Yoomedia.

8) 15 million interactive transactions per month - and growing, worldwide potential growing by the day.

Currently this company is valued at around 23 million, recently market cap nearly hit 100 million - and all that has happened since then is, we have had a profits warning, which may have put the company back by 6 months or less.

For those of us that have been on this rollercoaster ride for the last two years, we have seen how this company react's to good news - it will come as new clients and contracts are won, this time the company is much stronger financially than the last time you could buy at these prices two years ago, therefore IMHO, the growth in SP this time will be more sustainable.

Although the events over the last few months are bad for the short term investor regarding the drop in SP, one positive action has come out of the drop - Yoomedia have got noticed again, just look at the volume over the last week, people are now watching, and are ready to buy as they spot this bargain price of a share, that has so much potential, not just in the UK, but worldwide as the DTV take up grows globally - just take a good hard look at www.dtg.org.uk to back this statement up.

As always, DYOR before parting with your hard earned cash, but unlike Binary who just plucks prices out of mid air with no substance as to his reason behind them, I will stick my neck out and predict 10p buy end of July, with 20p by December 2005, based on my research, some of which is shared above.

Regards

Paul

Gull, no they have not responded, and I don't expect them to respond.

price just dropped.. Bargain!!!!

But will it go back up again?- gut feel says it will - it seems to have a decent future - but needs careful watching

Hi All, I said 2 weeks ago, that we would see 6p soon, and 8p within 3 weeks, and 7.7p is the height attained so far, so I reckon I called it right, and we will see 8p+ by the end of the week. So much for those that were giving me and YOO abuse two weeks ago, they are proven to know jack 5h1t about the stock, the market, and me ! cheers,
PM
