Much more importantly, how many in the adult entertainment industry!

[stegrego] 05/7/2007 08:07

So - 30 contracts in the film industry...

I wonder how many in the live sports / music and TV broadcasting etc etc

Looking good

With an illiquid stock like VDS, we should easilly be visiting 110p this week.

Excellent News

I am new to Vividas so will checkout Elric's offer

With Handmade Films suspended, I wonder how this news will affect their share price after they release their year end results?

Interesting times ahead

Should be a great Vividas Day

[spike_1] 05/7/2007 07:37

Surely the most important statment in the above RNS is:

We now have over 30 other contracts in the film
industry under discussion, and we believe that Vividas will soon be a leading
technology enabler for the entertainment industry."

I believe there is much much more to come.

Best wishes - Mike

"These two new contracts build on the success of The Secret which uses Vividas
technology and has now had over 200,000 views on line since March 2006, and
recent wins in Europe with Cavendish Films and MoviePol. The portal site for
MoviePol, www.moviepol.com, as reported in The Guardian on Monday 3 July, will
launch later in this month and will show 36 movie premieres on line during the
next 12 months, including films starring John Sessions, Simon Callow and Andie
MacDowell."

[the analyst] 05/7/2007 07:14

Handmade films are respnsible for titles such as Withnail & I, Time Bandits, The Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa, plus many more. Upcoming films include Planet One, Eloise in Paris and Highlander The Source

It's very good to finally see a top-quality film-maker signing a contract with Vividas.

Of course, other companies will catch up and it won't be too long before many companies will be offer HD quality streaming. Investors need to hope is that won't come about for another year or so and that Vivdas can steal a good enough market lead in the meantime.

Cheers Elric

Nice to see VDS opening higher on the contract news. Your clients will be happy about the news!

Thank Analyst,

I appreciate your constructive comments – how refreshing.

Please feel free to plug your sites via e-mail to me. I am very interested to see how you approach your design(s) and dress them for the occasion. As for us (trying to not to mention the name for fear of yet another plug our members do arrive at the door almost exclusively via word-of-mouth. That's said, we have just partnered www.minesite.com who will be offering their clients selective reports pertinent to their field....more exposure for us.

I am looking at ways of improving the site; perhaps relinquish the web design as this is not my forte and it's certainly not what our members pay me to do. Perhaps I can throw some business your way?

From a media perspective; on-line businesses - VDS, TMN and ASOS have served us very well indeed. I'm sure we will find another.

Drop me an e-mail if you will, I am sure VDS investors would rather we took this off topic off board

Kind regards,

Elric

PS. On-site marketing. That will be the blurb outlining our strategy for unearthing fledgling entrepreneurial companies like VDS. Visit the about link at the foot of the home page.

A very good offer for those new to VDS or thinking of investing.

Many thanks for that Elric,

I do find it interesting how you have approached the design of the website. I am interested because I hold a lot of shares in various e-marketing companies and so am always fascinated to see different models and how the owners perceive their offering. I also own quite a few websites of my own, so it's also good to hear your thoughts from the perspective of being a media owner myself.

With luck, at some stage your biggest marketing pull will come from word of mouth rather than from people seeing selected, stunning headline figures on the homepage and being pulled in via that route.

Anyway, good luck with the venture. Hope it keeps going well.

t.a.


PS
What is this 'on-site marketing' that I should read? I didn't really understand that comment.

Hi, As one of the editors/researchers behind Small Company Investors Ltd (ultimate owners of ) I appreciate your viewpoint and understand the logic behind your comments. From a marketing point of view, it is extremely difficult to get our message across in the manner by which prospective clients will take note if there is nothing to grab their attention. Publishing factual statistical evidence is the best way to do this, but has the side effect to which you highlight. We are labeled tipsters, which we are not. Nevertheless, the best way to highlight our ability of unearthing future growth companies, we must publish historical data to support this.

You may visit many sites, many of which will purport to be star tipsters with superior track records second to none. The fact remains; they all quote similar statistics, but may dress them up differently.

May respectfully suggest you read on-site marketing, rather than I repeat the same here, lest I be accused of self promotion here. I am sure people here would much rather discuss VDS not us.

If you require further information, then please feel free to e-mail me via the site.

Best wishes,

Elric

PS. To clarify the point you make in post 721. VDS did not pass on price sensitive information to us. That said, we were told there are several deals in negotiations, two of which in our opinion, could be mega deals for a company the size of VDS. I must stress, VDS have not disclosed the identity of the companies to us, or used terminology associated with 'mega'.

PPS. As a gesture of goodwill, I am happy to forward anyone our last two reports on VDS free of charge and no obligation attached. Contact us via the website.

"T A, what do you want, incredible results or a credible looking resource?"

Personally, I want a credible resource. Others will want a tip sheet. There's definitely nothing wrong with being a tip sheet and Lemming look to be one of the best tip sheets out there imo. In my opinion, if genuinely honest people (like those running Lemming seem to be) can take market share away from the likes of Simon Cawkwell, then that is a very good thing!

What I'm asking about is why in one breath they say they are not a tip sheet and on the same page there are all the usual tipster-like comments more often associated with sites like t1ps.com etc. I thought scrutable was trying to get away from all that, hence my question to him. I'm just interested in the reasoning.

Obviously there is always going to be a compromise between talking a site's content up to attract as many people as possible and trying to retain integrity and credibility at the same time. It's fascinating stuff.

[blue brazilian] 04/7/2007 19:49

Well done Accrilla - any good tips?

[accrillia] 04/7/2007 19:42

T A, what do you want, incredible results or a credible looking resource?

When you copied the stats above, why not the following extract, it goes some way to explaining your puzzlement. 'Please note the above statistics are intended as a guide which demonstrates our consistency at uncovering high quality companies that may not have been covered by the broader community.'

I'm not sure what the 'broader community' is.

The facts you speak of are inside man. Most of the companies i have never heard of before.

You do have a point though, that stats do look like the tool a tipster would use, except for the disclaimer reasoning the use of the figures.

I have never read a buy or sell, or even a hold comment within the site, now tipsters do use those key power phrases, don't they?

Any way, for goodness sake, for the price of a large round of drinks i was willing to take the plunge several months ago. It’s been a great result for me.

Good luck with VDS

[the analyst] 04/7/2007 18:11

Just been taking another look at Lemming

I'm still puzzled how they can claim not to be a tip sheet when there are loads of comments on the site about price rises on shares they have looked at rather than information about the facts they have uncovered during the research.

The site is full of Comments like these:

'this has already delivered a 350% profit'

'there is still a 3-bagger to come'

'has delivered a 17-bagger over 3 years'

'we brought our readers, ASOS at 7.75p, now up 1100% -1300%'

'Dragon oil up 423%, London Clubs up 147%, and Stanelco, up 100%, previously 425%. We gave our readers strong recoveries in Ashtead, up 1677%, JKX, up 788%, and Axis-shield up 75%.'

It's a shame they appear obsessed with price movements. To me, this makes what looks to be an excellent resource of research cheapen itself and lack credibility.

Scrutable, why do you market your excellent research in this way? You could still highlight how good the research is and the fact that many of the companies you research so well have indeed performed well, without cheapening it in that tabloid tipsheet fashion. If it came over as a more credible resourse I would certainly subscribe.

[the analyst] 04/7/2007 18:08

I would be surprised if Vividas have been releasing price-sensitive information to a website like Lemming.

Unless they have, then at this stage we have to see it as rumour or that the information is already in the public domain

[accrillia] 04/7/2007 16:51

I dont think it is a rumour, i'm pretty sure lemming investor spoke to the company. It is just a matter of timing.

[the analyst] 04/7/2007 16:04

This is certainly a very welcome move in the right direction

Will this deal actually result in some revenue coming in?

[adascogne] 04/7/2007 15:16

phil agree fingers crossed

[philjeans] 04/7/2007 15:03

Chart looking perky ; racing up to recent high.

Next week it'll see a breakout if news breaks. ;)

[blue brazilian] 04/7/2007 09:29
