Here are a few things you can do, I'll let you choose what works best for you. 1] If you simply want to read the front-page headlines, read posts on this blog, read posts on any of the discussion forums and watch my daily show on the front page, you can do so without registration of any kind. Just go to http://www.agoracom.com every day and read away. 2] If you want to actually participate in discussion forums by posting messages, send private messages to current members, or post updates about any of the companies listed on AGORACOM, please go to the top right hand corner of the page and click on "register". Alternatively, you can use the following link: http://www.agoracom.com/members/new 3] If you want to start a new forum on AGORACOM, please go to http://www.agoracom.com/hub_requests/new Naturally, you will also have to register for the site (#2 above) in order to be able to post to your new forum. Finally, please remember that blogs and discussion forums are two different things. A blog is what you see here (http://blog.agoracom.com), where I (George Tsiolis) post thoughts on important matters every couple of days and you have an opportunity to post your comments in response. Discussion forums, on the other hand, give everyone the ability to post comments and questions. We divide discussion forums by company so that we can keep discussion neat and organized. Discussion forums are the place where most of the profanity, spam and nonsense typically takes place on other sites. However, as you heard on Jim's show, we've put an end to that problem on AGORACOM. As such, you can either participate in existing forums, or start a brand new one for a company that does not yet exist on AGORACOM. Hope this helps Reg and looking forward to seeing you and your friends on AGORACOM! Regards, George Good evening, Reg and welcome to AGORACOM.

I think it is safe to say that 27,000,000 page views are not promotion and hype. Rather, this is traffic related to investors that have finally found a site that insists on civil conversation for the purposes of making their best investment decision possible. I agree that Yahoo is a proven model - a proven broken model. During my Money:Tech presentation yesterday, I asked an audience of 400 investment professionals if they use stock discussion forums and 25-30 people raised their hands. In addition, it is well documented that traffic to Yahoo Finance has been dropping, while AOL Finance has now taken the top spot. To be clear, we're not pointing out Yahoo as a culprit. I used to be a big user of their forums but they (and all providers of advertising supported stock discussion forums) have to reconsider a business model that sacrifices quality for quantity, while driving professional investors away. AGORACOM, on the other hand, now has a proven business model. 86 Public companies (and quickly growing) are paying AGORACOM to host a civilized community for their shareholders and prospective shareholders. Yes, to prove the model we started with the path to least resistance (small-caps) but that doesn't mean such companies aren't worthy of the service or that it can't be scaled to larger companies. FYI, did you know that 9 of the 10 best performing stocks in the past 10 years started out as micro-caps. Their average market caps were $67 million, with 3 companies have a market cap of $10M or less.

The traffic here is all promotion and hype in keeping with your business model. Remember, Yahoo allows bashers because the bashers read ads and generate Yahoo profits. It's a proven business model. Taking fees to promote penny stocks is much less certain. Good luck anyway. You must be kidding. The traffic here is all promotion and hype in keeping with your business model.
