AGORACOM Launches Wicked iPhone App For Small Cap Stocks and Investors
Posted by
at 12:14 PM on Monday, February 28th, 2011
Good afternoon to you all. I am very proud to announce the launch of the AGORACOM iPhone App – and it is wicked! First, as you can see from the screen shot above, our development team did a great job of creating an elegant and functional interface.
Second and most importantly, it provides small cap investors with powerful information in the palm of their hands. No matter where you are, you are never out of touch with the small-cap world thanks to the following amazing features:
- Headlines – The best small-cap headlines of the day are posted every morning and as they happen throughout the day. We even break it down by industry, including the best news out of the Chinese small and mid-cap space.
- Videos – AGORACOM Small Cap Videos have been watched over 300,000 times and are now available right on your iPhone. Why do small-cap investors love our videos? Every morning we produce AGORACOM Small Cap TV, AGORACOM Small Cap Gold and Resources TV and Chinese Small-Cap TV to provide investors with a daily, fast-paced cutting edge show delivering the best small-cap news of the day.
- Blogs and Tweets – We share some pretty powerful information via our multiple blogs and twitter accounts, so for those of you that follow us, you aren’t skipping a beat. For those of you that haven’t caught on to blogs and tweets yet, the information is nicely and conveniently compiled in the palm of your hand.
- AGORACOM Mobile – Feel the need to read and/or post to your favourite HUBS on AGORACOM. Click on AGORACOM Mobile and go straight to the log-in page to get you started. For those of you that aren’t AGORACOM members, you can surf anonymously, or log-in using your Facebook account (more about that in another announcement)
Overall, we’re really happy with the first version of our app and you can expect us to keep adding new features over the coming months and years.
WHY MOBILE? …. WHY AN IPHONE APP? …. WHERE TO?
In case you are asking yourself about the importance of mobile and, specifically, an iPhone app, look for answers no further than our announcement earlier this year that Mobile Devices Drive 16,000 Visits To AGORACOM in August. The iPhone accounted for 75% of all mobile visits (yeah, that surprised us too)
Also, people now spend as much time on mobiles as reading on newspapers and magazines. We’re extremely confident that mobile is going to dwarf newspapers and magazines going forward for the simple reason that your phone gives you information as it happens, not the day after.
Moreover, look for a Blackberry App (to compliment our existing Blackberry content partnership) and Android app to follow in Q1 2011. Unfortunately, much to the chagrin of 4 AGORACOM Members, (Cylinder and AlsoFromSudbury) we won’t be developing a Palm App … we calculated it would be cheaper to simply buy each one of them an iPhone 🙂
In the meantime, please download our iPhone App and provide us with your feedback, as well as, feature requests for our next upgrade.
Do you want your small-cap company to be featured on the AGORACOM iPhone App? Need to create your mobile / online / social media IR strategy? Contact me to discuss your needs and how we can solve them.
Regards,
George

Small-Cap CEO Lesson: The Most Successful CEO’s Of The Next Decade Will Be Web Driven. Bet On It.
Posted by
at 3:31 PM on Saturday, February 26th, 2011
I first posted this back in February of 2009. Nothing has changed and, in fact, the post has become even more relevant today. If you are looking to take your public company to that next great level, than trust me when I tell you this is the answer:
=====================
You heard it here first. Bookmark it, bet on it. The most successful small-cap stocks of the next decade will overwhelmingly be led by “webified” CEO’s that fully understand:
- Shareholders want to interact and be part of your company’s conversation. Don’t fear them. Contrary to popular belief, 95% of investors want to gain knowledge and provide constructive feedback. Listen to what they have to say, incorporate their best ideas and you will have happy, loyal shareholders.
- Prospective shareholders are looking for you. They are using search engines, electronic shareholder forums, blogs, social networks, videos and good ol’ word of mouth to find a company to park their money with. They are not using their brokers.
- 1-1 communications are over. E-mail, phone calls and visits to your websites are slow, inefficient and over. Today, you have the tools to communicate with hundreds/thousands of people simultaneously.
- Shareholders are global. Tear down barriers related to geography, time zones and language. The best way to both connect with current investors and reach new investors in the four corners of this planet is by incorporating each of the following into your investor relations program (in no particular order):
Fair warning to all small-cap CEO and investor relations officers:Â If you don’t know what these are, never used them and – most importantly – don’t know how to integrate them into your IR program, your chances of success will be significantly diminished.
Believe me when I tell you. We have already entered the next era of investor relations. Thanks to the SEC (they did something right in 2008) the digital investor relations dam has burst and IR departments of the world’s biggest companies are now scrambling to understand and incorporate “IR 2.0”.
The good news? It isn’t as difficult as you think. We know because we’re already using these tools in our daily communications…just click on any of the logos above to see us in action.
Damn, now I have an itch to take AGORACOM public.

George
Rouchon Industries (RCHN) Joins AGORACOM With 7 Years of Revenue & Income Growth
Posted by
at 1:01 PM on Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Good afternoon to you all. I am proud to welcome Rouchon Industries to AGORACOM. As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact Rouchon is a client and do your own diligence. In the meantime, I can tell you that Rouchon is one of the best non-resource companies we have discovered in 10 years. World-class customers and a long track record of success speak for themselves. AGORACOM members are privileged to be the first to be invited to this coming out party, so I invite you to take a closer look at the information below and draw your own conclusions.
Beyond the data, prospective investors should also know that Company Chairman, Gabriel Rouchon, is by far the most thorough client I have ever dealt with. His personal due diligence into potential IR firms culminated in a spreadsheet of different firms and traffic ranks that no other client has ever produced. As such, if he’s willing to go to such great lengths to make the best IR decision possible, then I feel extremely confident in his abilities to make the best business decisions possible for Rouchon Industries.
The business highlights below serve to support my opinion – but do your own DD to make sure Rouchon is right for you.
Regards,
George

CNBC Sets Jim Rogers Straight On Commodities – Despite Being Wrong For A Decade
Posted by
at 4:11 PM on Friday, February 4th, 2011
Despite commodities outperforming stocks by 1,000% over the past decade, the idiots at CNBC Europe speak to Jim Rogers as if he’s a senile old man. Â Reminiscent of the way CNBC and other media anchors would speak to Peter Schiff before the the world banking industry melted to nothing (only to be saved by Xerox machines at every central bank).
