lol

doesnt it make sense to see a visual advert for a product and buy on impulseand be able to buy interactively though the same media where you are viewing the product?Whether Pizza is the best example i am not sure but the principle of buying interactively is established and growing. A lot of people like to buy from their arm chair and if their remote control does it all for them they are quite happy.There are a lot of couch potatoes out there!
Which is the point i took from mactavish.

No ... its still easier and quicker to pick up the phone and probably a lot cheaper.

Well Dil it could be a variety of reasons:

Telephone costs
Telephone Engaged
Dont feel like being put on hold
Interactive discount as it frees up HR resources to concentrate on other jobs
Billed through your provider hence handy if you have no cash or credit card

Dil you do ask stupid questions

probably 99.9 % out of 100 people would use the phone, this leaves 0.1% to order in a variety of other different ways, another diamond for yoo ?...not

What a DIL!

not really, the DILLS are the ones holding and losing

You can stick it on a credit card quicker and easier by phone ... dipstick and he didn't get a discount .

Telephone costs are lower than using SKY active.


DYOR and stop talking crap.

I agree your comments kalsii69. You have to think how others might react and whilst Dil might think thta is not the way he would want to shop ,many would and if you look at the growth of inteactive activity its going to grow more. They are all extra revenue streams and the more the merrier.
I think this is just going to get slicker. I envisage the TV as an entertainment and shopping "console". You will have your account details stored and when you want to buy you will just put in your pin number.The explanation and visual advertising capability from a TV are vastly superior to a catalogue and they can have commentary.

Yes I know Dil just wanted to send you a wild goose chase for a while so we could all have a break from you........and you could experience a bit of YOO technology...

You really think I tried it ????

thanks for that kalsi69. I dont know quite what I have done that is so annoying that you could"all have a break from me". If you tell me I will try not to offend in future

That wasnt meant for u willfagg that was for Dil.....although I still do beleive that interactive ordering will grow.....on the basis of my points earlier as it saves time to companies who could use there resources more productively ...... e.g. soo many financial products sold on the net get discounts compared to when you buy them when speaking to their represenative on the telephone....

kalsi that was exacdtly what i was saying!Dil is not looking past the end ofn
his nose

Plenty of big buys today.

3* 500k buys and 1* 600k protected buy just went thru'.

wow

Noticed that britishbulls.com have a confirmed buy signal on YOO today.

Hi All,

I am giving my own buy signal :)

Interims next week (Tuesday ?) will show the real performance of YOO, and blitz last years figures to dust. Also I hope for a statement(not guaranteed !) saying YOO are NOW cash-flow positive, and a rundown of how well ALL the divisions are now performing, giving the stock rocket power !

Short term target 18p, long term target 's

Cheers,
PM

Playing The Mobile Dating Game

The U.K.-based interactive-TV provider YooMedia is confident it can make a strong impact in the mobile-television space for interactive entertainment applications. The company recently launched a mobile gaming channel linked to its Avago TV channel and Web site, and it claims to be one of the first examples of seamless interactivity with viewers and players across all mainstream digital media: television, Internet and mobile.

According to CEO Neil MacDonald, There are two areas: dating and gambling. We are doing dating under the Dateline brand, where we launched the U.K.s first, if not the worlds first, mobile video dating service last week. You use the cameras capabilities on your mobile phone to record your own profile. We are starting to use the phone handset as a way of capturing content from the viewer. The dating-service approach is highly appropriate.

McDonald also believes mobile gambling will become the next big thing: We know how people love to gamble on TV, and we know that people will like doing it on their mobiles because it is easy, convenient and very entertaining. That is going to grow rapidly.

The key to YooMedias success in the mobile arena hinges on whether it can replicate the TV experience on the small screen. We want to introduce more video into it, and more participation and community elements. We want to try and replicate what we do on digital television on mobile, MacDonald says. We havent seen anything like that yet, so we know from our own experience with TV that consumers will respond very well to that kind of service packaged up in that way.
