Yesterday was the first leg of a trip around the world. I was in San Francisco to visit our office and to participate in the Thomas Weisel Investment Bank Internet Conference.

I found great enthusiasm from our team in San Francisco. This is our West Coast headquarters for Internet.com. The team is excited that all the hard development work in 2006-2007 is starting to pay dividends. Included was the design and development of our Single Sign On Registration System, the redesign of Internet.com and the soon to be launched new version of InternetNews.com. These projects and more that are coming will finally allow the Internet.com to compete on equal footing with Enterprise IT Web publishing competitors.

The Weisel Conference was a good one for us. I met with several Fund managers. One informed me that in the month of December his organization purchased nearly 10 percent of the common stock of Jupitermedia! Nice to see the support and belief in how things are going for Jupitermedia.

Next stop is Los Angeles and then over the next 9 days visits to Australia, Japan, India and England and finally New York City. India is new for me. I plan to leave India with committments to start a variety of operations in this booming country. I hope it works out after enduring 5 innoculations and a regimen of malaria tablets!
