"there ......... once was an ugly duckling"

A Looksmart 'long' investor wrote to me ....

< If this is LOOKs game plan then the old lady of search may have tapped the fountain of youth and the one foot in the grave is being pulled out! >

Exactly TIO ...

The long term 'strength' surrounding these many 'new' relationships will be the "Company Maker" of Looksmart. WE now have the technology and THEY, (the 'print' media/Publishers) want to quickly, 'take us to bed' with them!!

The 'US against THEM' (situation) of 'old world' publishers, (print media Co's) and their long standing 'connect' that they have with media ADS (space) buyers, up against the 'new kids on the block', the large Portals, (eg; GOOG - YHOO - MSN - ASKJ) who have not only taken a large share of their ADS revenue, but have also cut their circulation in recent times by over 20%, or, more, across the board.

Let the games begin !!

What a 'turn - around' for Looksmart, (I can assure readers), it will prove to be ...... From Hans Christian Andersen (Danny Kaye) ....

"THERE ......... once was an ugly duckling"

< If you remember the Danny Kaye song, you will recall that a single winter spent hiding away was sufficient to transform the duckling into a swan. In Andersen’s tale, this transition fills one enigmatic sentence: "It would be much too sad to describe all the misery and hardship he had to endure that bitter cold winter." >

LOOK (in the US) should now burst through .80cps tomorrow, (friday), I'd imagine?
