Time stamping will come of age during the world cup. gambling live during the match. the possibilities are practically endless. If yoo, with this patented technology get even a tiny % of each of those competetion entries......

luck isnt in it anymore.imho.dyor

As you have said many times before mac and have been wrong every time.

How do we know if the deal is great?

It could be crap like the original WH deal, it is possible they did not read the fine print again.

2006 eps = 0.004347826 cautious pe of 15 = share price of 6.52p

Hold or accumalate?

imo

For The Gull by the great Lou Reed.


Staring at my picture book
she looks like Mary, Queen of Scots
She seemed very regal to me
just goes to show how wrong you can be

I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms

Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

My castle, kids and home
I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots
I tried so very hard
shows just how wrong you can be

I'm gonna stop wasting time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms

Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song


The same old sad song from the Gull.

New deals have to be done to replace old ones that expire.

Thanks to Ionlywant.


Beer and football were made for each other, and as the world cup draws closer the hype will begin for real. Bud will no doubt have its promo cans out a good few weeks before the tournament actually starts and our own frenzie would have started way before that. I have to say that normally I play down any news release from YOO and try not to get too excited, but this one was a bit special, not WH or Gala special but YES special. I have a feeling that when this deal was concluded the champagne flowed at YOO HQ. I think this tie up with Bud was one of the biggest deals YES have bagged. I really am not surprised YOO wanted to shout it from the rooftops.

Bud do not do things by halves, they would have paid a lot money to sponsor the world cup and the promo budget is going to be huge. Beer is this country's biggest drug and football is our national sport and more or less everyone who has an interest in either of those things has a mobile phone. Take an average household - the England match is about to start, a crate of Bud is in the fridge, a few mates arrive and the beer starts flowing. Every one of those cans is going to be promoed to the hilt and it won't be long before someone reads the tin and discovers they are in with a chance of winning cup final tickets, a signed shirt or tickets to the next England game. It's almost guaranteed that as soon as one person has a go then the rest of the group will have a go as well. That kind of behaviour will be going on in homes across the country and I don't think it will end with a single text! The more pissed people get and the more games we win, the more times they will enter. All the pubs and clubs that sell Bud will be plastered (excuse the pun) with promo "text and win" flyers. This really does have the potential to be massive for YOO in more ways than one, because if they can pull this off without a hitch, YOO's name will be heard in some very powerful places.

The most common theme from the doubters at the minute is yet again we don't know the bottom line. This is a fair point but unfortunately it is something we are going to have to put up with. As far as YES is concerned, it is unlikely we will ever know the financial terms of ANY agreements. It is not in YOO's or the clients interest to release such details. I am happy in the knowledge YES is making a profit - that tells me all I need to know.

You can do as many deals as you like but if the commercials don't stack up they are all useless.

YooMedia secures deal for World Cup campaign
By Gareth Jones


Interactive entertainment company YooMedia has secured a deal to provide the digital elements for an on-pack promotion being launched by Anheuser-Busch around this summer's FIFA World Cup.
The company will incorporate interactive mobile solutions such as SMS, MMS, JAVA and WAP within the overall promotional mechanic of the campaign, which is likely to centre around Anheuser-Busch's flagship Budweiser beer brand.
The agreement is the result of a development drive within the YooMedia Enhanced Solutions division, which has also recently secured deals with companies including Nestle, Boots and Visa.
YooMedia's involvement in the Anheuser-Busch's World Cup promotion follows a strategic partnership with the brand-owner's advertising agency Inferno.
"Mobile techniques are becoming increasingly central to marketing programmes across a broad spectrum of companies," said YooMedia MD Neil MacDonald. "We are ideally placed to take advantage of this growth, combining iTV, mobile and Web content solutions."
The YooMedia Enhanced Solutions division was launched last summer to help marketers identify the most appropriate digital platforms to meet specific campaign objectives.

I think YOO (YES) may have just pulled off the biggest deal so far by an absolute mile. I've had a look at Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser websites.They have 14 breweries world wide (2 in Europe), infact one in London...... They brew no less than 30 different beers and have moved into non alcoholic beverage. They as an organisation have their fingers in all the pies and certainly know how to market merchandise. They have MOBILE and GAMETIME folders on the Budweiser Home page with "text a Bud", "text a show", "text a song" options, so are fully aware what mobbies can do for you and know how to engage their customers. !!!!. I think they are about to move to the next level as Marketeers and Sponsors of just about anything that involves more than 1 person LOL LOL LOL.........................THEY LOVE MAKING MONEY

Forget the World Cup, the Derby and the Ryder Cup, you better add these as well !!!

""Anheuser-Busch is also a major sponsor or advertiser on all of the Best Sporting Events To Use To Reach Fans as ranked in the poll -- the Super Bowl, NCAA mens basketball tournament, Summer Olympics, World Cup, Daytona 500, World Series and NBA Finals.""

Anheuser- Busch is huge as an organisation, they have 10 theme parks and all sorts of other enterprises....ALL TO DO WITH GROUPS OF PEOPLE HAVING A GOOD TIME.

They know how to play the game for sure and have taken it another step further with YOO's technology. I think YOO WILL pick up a lot of business from our Anheuser-Busch friends.

No mention of revenues .... another white elephant imo.

Very good news. The price is rising again on the back of two deals which will help YOO make profits in 2006 and show what they are really about and prove Dill boy wrong!

Yep this seems positive, ive also had a very interesting chat with a prominent city investment manager this week and it is their belief that the media sector and in particular YooMedia have a very very bright future in 2006. Im counting those extra pennies coming in !!

Lol , this pile of poo needs to treble before most on here get anywhere near their entry point.

Done plenty of deals in the past but never made a penny , still a crock of sh*te imo.

Yes I think the Media sector and IT sector are the sectors to perform very well in 2006

I dont know about anyone else but im in profit already!! Owt above five and half pence is good for me.

Dil is there any reason for your constant negativity regarding this share, i could understand if you were providing some kind of evidence to back up your comments, but just to say it is a pile of poo over and over again is really not the helpfull to anyone!! Having said that i am going to take heart from your last post as instead of saying it will be worth nowt, you are saying it wont treble, double will do me tp start with!! :-)

You want evidence then go read the announcements from this bunch of jokers over the last 2 years. They never achieve what they say they will achieve and the chart confirms this.

:-) Yes I have got the fact that you dont like this company or the people that run it, but lack of past achievements is not evidence of future failures. Granted it has to be a consideration, but I Just cant understand if you have no position in YOO why you waste your time continually telling us that you think it is a pile of poo.
