(PRESS PROFILE TAB FOR FACT SHEET & UPDATES)
Good evening to you all and welcome to the Tyhee Shareholder HUB on AGORACOM. It is great having you here and we look forward to duplicating the success of so many other HUBS that have migrated to AGORACOM over the last 3 months.
Hard to believe we launched these free HUBS only 3 1/2 months ago and we are now up to 130,000 investors reading about 13,000,000 pages of information per month.
I can summarize that success in just two points. First, teamwork. We built our site based on our experience as disgruntled posters from that "other site" , as well as, the valuable feedback we get from our members. We release upgrades on a regular basis and the priority given to them is pretty much determined by the needs of our members. As such, keep the feedback coming via our contact form at the top of the page.
To this end, you will also see a lot of "pencil/edit" images on the HUB, denoting items that you are able to edit. This has never been done before in the history of stock communities. As such, keep participating, build up your rating and help keep Tyhee info current and dynamic by adding or editing content.
Second, quality over quantity. We are not an ad driven site. As such, we don't have any incentive to sacrifice quality for quantity to satisfy advertisers. Our highest priority is maintaining great quality forums that provide you with the opportunity to make your best investment decision possible. To this end, we have implemented another first in stock communities - Investor Controlled Discussion Forums. Crowlee and BAIRES2 have been given the power to terminate offending posts and bashers for the purposes of maintaining a clean and intelligent forum - but you can earn your way into that spot by participating and promoting yourself through the ranks. There is no other system like it on the web and it insures that your collective values are the highest priority. Bye-bye bashers and trouble makers.
On this point, contrary to bashers on SH, we fully welcome constructive discussion - and so should you. In fact, we believe you do because a cheerleading forum isn't of much value to anyone. If you have a legitimate point of concern with the company, the industry or the economy as a whole, we welcome you. As long as you keep it civil and professional, you have a home.
I have a lot more to say but wanted to use this opportunity to welcome all of you and encourage you to build the greatest Tyhee shareholder community ever. We'll provide the tools and you provide the knowledge. Together, the result will be impossible to beat. Discussion forums will never be the same.
Finally, I hope all of you enjoyed watching Tyhee being talked about in our Globe Investor (online arm of Globe & Mail) TV show today. For those of you that have not seen it, you can watch it here. We also noted Tyhee in our main show on the front page of AGORACOM, which you can view everyday around 9:30 AM EST. It's just another way of saying thanks for making AGORACOM your home.
Have a great day and happy posting!
Regards,
George
