2005: The meteoric rise in the FBT share price continues

An interesting article about Google.

Perhaps they have one eye on ebay's customer base.

Ebay have had it all their own way for too long - reflected in their charges.

(I have to say they do provide a good service)

The more Google and their kin push services that overlap with what Forbidden can do - the greater the chance Forbidden's product profile should gain prominence.

I don't think Google will be knocking on Forbidden's door - they seem to be committed to products from their own stable as much as possible. Unless a major customer locks a company like Forbidden in - the risk is that any advantage would be lost if Forbidden decided to license their products to a competitor.

What then does a company like Google gain by adopting a technology like Clesh / FORscene.

We investors can but hope that Google - or a competitor - will see sense though!

I'm confident it will pay dividends for any adoptor.

Here's part of a video I shot of a trip up north:



It was simplicity to film it on my mobile, upload the raw footage, edit it, then publish it. I emailed the full result to relatives / friends in the UK and beyond using just a URL. They can view it also via mobile phones with Java MIDP (small picture and no sound - but the sub titles do the job) or a smart phone (with sound and larger pictures).

The quality is below what this version of FORscene is capable of. If I had used a Nokia N90 the quality would be much better.

Regards and happy new year to all!
