not stopping here today as its my birthday, just thought I'd have a quick look, great to see IDG really moving forward! Although I'm sure there will be many treeshakes and other MM games along the way, I expect IDG to continue moving forward over the next few weeks/months whilst it is revalued by the market, and any updates on further expansion and possible JV's will IMO see a serious appreciation of the SP! DYOR before deciding whether to invest, and GL with your other investments! I'm off to the pub to pick up where I left off on Saturday night!

quiet for a few days here, but good to see ECV and more importantly PXS moving in the right direction. Mr haventgotaacllue, is your first name noidea by any chance? :)

you think the "teach-in" is responsible for the rise last few days? Would be very significant if any ii's wanted to buy in, as you say so few shares in public hands...... Good to see market share in London up to 30%+, Mitsubishi 3.5 tonne truck fully developed and market ready. Any thoughts on what other products of Mercedes they could be looking at? Thanks for the links mate

cant say I do mate, looked briefly when I saw you all going into VYKE, didn't realise before you could do instant messaging as well as calls, will look into it and hopefully sign up this evening! Is VYKE better or are you all on Skype?

alright mate whats up?

holding 9.5% gain well today, after more than 13% yesterday, think you are right old t something must be brewing! watch this space.......... :) and DYOR

i-design Group, the AIM listed folks behind ATM:ad have announced their first overseas contract. The sale has been made to a leading ATM network owner in Greece by i-design’s channel partner, Mellon Financial Products Support S.A. (part of Mellon Group). We believe that i-design intends to build its overseas business by using channel partners as well as its own in-house sales team. Ana Stewart, Chief Executive of i-design, has been quoted as saying “We believe there is huge potential to take our ATM advertising solution overseas and this sale is significant because it is our first deployment with a bank based outside of the UK. “Our advertising solution is now proven in the UK, having been adopted by three major UK banks, including The Royal Bank of Scotland, the largest ATM owner in this country. Now that we have firmly established the credentials of ATM:ad in the UK, we have a strong base from which to continue to build our business abroad and it is encouraging that our channel partner for this territory has secured as their first ATM:ad customer a major player within the Greek marketplace. “In targeting overseas customers, our intention is to use our own sales team but also to develop our channel model further and I am pleased to see that this strategy is taking shape, with this win coming through a channel partner.” http://www.dailydooh.com/archives/1936 http://www.sigmacapital.co.uk/Portfolio_News/195$i-design_group_plc_ann

still holding here mate, think they are a very solid long-term investment IMO! would like to see some updates but happy to hold all the same! GL

nesty, thanks for bringing to my attention, see this as a bottom drawer share now, but could see a really good return in 1 to 2 years Sirius Real Estate notes the recent press speculation and can confirm that, in conjunction with a potential financial partner, it is in preliminary discussions with regard to the potential acquisition of a German property portfolio. These discussions are at an early stage and a further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

morning all, haven't been on the boards as a good friend of mine has opened a nominee account and I'm trying to stop him losing his life savings, so providing him with lots of reading material. The worry is that he has already decided that AIM is for him, and he is always looking for the big winner, whether it be the horses, a footie game, the casino, or poker tournaments. One thing I think I have managed to communicate to him is that long-term investing is less risky and potentially just as profitable as short-term trading, so that is a start! If anyone has any useful links for newbies I would really appreciate them, and I'm sure in good time he will too! Back to IDG, interesting posts last night oldtramp, thanks for that, and the future in terms of IBM is definately something to look out for. Wil try to look into IBM a bit further this afternoon/evening, GLA for today!!!

Global Technology Services certainly shouts IBM when googled, good find mate, will look further later...... may be HP as a dark horse after they acquired EDS, hmmmm :)

very small volume, shame I didn't have the funds earlier for 22p but good to see it bounce back after an artificial drop earlier

look at LD Systems website, atmAd written all over it, literally left right and centre! They seem very proud of this agreement, and looks like the website was prepared in advance of the announcement, which suggests to me they are hoping to roll out this service as soon as possible. Also the ATM Share Program gives the opportunity to those small financial institutions who otherwise couldn't afford to operate an ATM, and the atmAd option will make it even more financially attractive. This is very significant IMO as there are so many small financial institutions in USA.

good to see some thinking outside the box :) The case for IDG expanding its services to Canada is very strong IMO, as Canadians are among the highest per-capita users of ATMs in the world, and technological developments are making it more expensive for ATM operators, so third party advertising campaigns would be very welcome IMO... http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-191778743.html

nice! You got any spare cash to lend me? Would love a few thousand more at 22p! hmmmmm might have to rob a post office whilst they strike!!!

was a bit confused when reading that yesterday. You think the deal with LD Systems was unexpected, maybe LD approached them after the conference, told IDG about their nationwide footprint in USA, and suggested becoming a reseller partner of IDG's From LD Systems website: ATM Advertising & Marketing Control Center atmAd is an end to end ATM advertising and campaign management solution which is designed to include all the key components that an ATM network owner requires to successfully deliver internal and 3rd-party targeted marketing campaigns on its ATM self-service network. We Bring the Advertisers to You atmAd's fully managed third party media sales service delivers a substantial new revenue stream, which requires no extra investment, complements your existing marketing strategy, enhances customer loyalty and still allows you to retain full control of your channel. By outsourcing this highly specialized function, you will see rapid return on investment without increased effort or resource.

oldtramp, thanks for the link yesterday to vocalink, something to watch out for maybe...... nesty, see LD Systems website, the company IDG are partnering for their USA and Puerto Rico expansion, look at the type of ATMs, drive thru is very much real! Also dashatm doing similar things Also Jim Faulds, a shareholder in IDG, has an interesting background in Scottish business, worth a quick look. GLA

http://www.link.co.uk/press/2008/mn_press_release_20080731.htm Banks, building societies and ATM operators will be looking to new sources of revenue after being forced to become more clear about charges involved in ATM transactions, and increasing the number of free-to-use ATMs, so atmAd will be an ideal source for new revenue streams... Also, post-recession is the time to increase marketing budgets where possible http://www.articlesbase.com/advertising-articles/now-is-not-the-time-to-cut-your-advertising-budget-1314276.html

37. The first drive thru cash machine was opened at Barclays Hatton Cross in 1998 by Cheryl Baker of Bucks Fizz fame. 40. Cash machines are taking over completely in some regions of America. Customers have been told that their local branch is to be replaced by an unmanned centre filled with cash machines.

me neither, dont really have the experience to know what to say without sounding like a ****! :) A few more useless facts..... 25. Research shows that soccer mad Britons stage a half time dash for cash during big games, with withdrawals at stadium cash machines surging more than 40 percent before the start of the second half. 26. Cash machine robbers are increasing being foiled by security devices which trigger a dye that stains banknotes when a machine is stolen. 28. Cash machines that talk have been installed in Norway to help blind customers obtain cash. 29. Experts believe we’ll soon be using cash machines for everything from printing digital photos, playing interactive games and ordering goods or services. 30. One in eight men admit to using a cash machine but being too drunk to remember it. 31. A face recognition system may replace the need for a password or PIN for identification and verification to access cash machines. 32. A German monastery is replacing its collection boxes with machines that accept payments from debit and credit cards. The Benedictine monks at Schaeftlarn say they want to make donations easier for visitors. 33. Cash machines no longer just give out sterling. Euro cash machines can be found in the City of London. Although some of these facts may seem irrelevant, IMO some are important in demonstrating the future of cash machines, despite technology developed by the likes of MONI for mobile banking.
