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....

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.

The final line of that extract ....."to enter the US market place" is very interesting. Not only is the US market huge but they are behind us and the rest of Europe on technology relating to mobile phones, digital TV etc. Could be a very lucrative market if YOO can get in early and avoid the pitfalls which have claimed many a British venture.

It is easy to be cash flow positive and still be losing millions and have to have the CEO guarantee the overdraft facilities.
Interims will show little of value from an accounting point of view as they are not audited so bullsh*t rampers like you can have a field day.
Fact is last set of accounts were all but qualified , they have subsequently issued a profits warning and a lot of people will get burnt when the sh*t hits the fan ... all imo of course.

"It is easy to be cash flow positive and still be losing millions and have to have the CEO guarantee the overdraft facilities."
You complete and utter muppet.
Do you know the difference between EBITDA positive and cash flow positive?
Your last post displays your complete ignorance for all to see. Please stop posting before you embarrass yourself further.
The reason for the warning was due to a contract, now delayed until year end, but due to the circumstances involved, that contract is now 80% larger, than the broker originally anticipated in April. It was not due to lower than expected revenue from iTV.

Ipublic Hi,
Dil is a blatant basher, and has been bashing YOO since I said buy them at 4p, simply because it was me that said buy them .... doesn't that make the dilbrain a perfect example of utmost stupidity .... LOL !

Hi All,
Interims will show how well YOO are doing, much better than last years final results did, because none of the DITG and costs of the other aquisitions will be in these results, but the benefits of the integration of those aquisitions will be there in the figures, and it will look very very good.
The market is going to turn very positive on YOO again, as no more aquisitions are needed, YOO has all it requires, so the target now is building the business and increasing the profit, and YOO has been doing that very well so far, and there is massive room to grow further, and the market loves a growth stock.
How high the spike will go, is anyone's guess, but we should see 15p, maybe 20p, over the next week.
Cheers,
PM

Well we do not know when the results are, sometime in September. So to call a large spike this week, is probably not wise?
I agree with the rest though!
