Posted by AGORACOM at 11:35 AM on Saturday, April 7th, 2007

The Globe and Mail is reporting that Hollywood may set an all-time record in 2007 and hit $10 Billion for the first time. If that is the case, RepeatSeat (RPS: TSX-V) could be a big winner thanks to its deals with Tribute.ca, Landmark Cinemas and Cineplex.

RepeatSeat allows users to purchase movie tickets (concerts, etc.) via cell phone and have it charged directly to your cell phone bill. More than just lip service, RepeatSeat recently announced deals with Bell and Blackberry.

Google Just Released “Free 411” 1-800-GOOG-411

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:46 PM on Friday, April 6th, 2007

Folks, don’t bother paying 50 cents for a 411 call anymore. Google is now offering it for free via Google Voice Local Search .  Google will find you the number you are looking for and connect you.  You don’t pay for the 411 part but you may still have to pay any long-distance or local tolls you would have normally paid for the call.

Regards,
George

Calgary Loves Junior Metals and Mining Stocks Too

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:13 AM on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

The 2007 Calgary Resource Investment Conference is now officially over but not before almost 2,500 investors attended the conference in search of their next great junior metals and mining stock.  What really stood out for me were the number of “first time” investors to the space, which tells me some of that Calgary oil money might be looking to diversify into the space.

Given the fact the outlook for prices on items such as gold, silver, copper, uranium and others appears to be outpacing most projections for the future price of oil and gas, Calgarians attending the conference are probably right on the money.

Kudos to Joe’s team of Howard, Steve, Paul et al for putting on a well-organized and informative conference.

Regards,
George
