I understand your point and it absolutely has merit.
However, this is a perfect technical entry and the shares are being accumulated by some smart money. I would advise buying every share you can right here and right now.
I know a fund or two from back in my trading days that have this one center stage on their radar and they are just now beginning to nibble.
I believe the shares to be a screaming buy as we speak and I expect new highs are breached within a month.
Still maintaining a 4-5 year end target with the company possibly being acquired.

Big news in the space today. With every day that passes and every deal done around them, the intrinsic value of Modavox to a strategic acquirier increases.
Carefully read and note todays news posted at the Drudge report ahead of traditional media which is not widely talking about it yet. Read this article and ask yourself what you believe the value of a company with a valuable patent relating to the streaming audio and video process may be worth to one of these major media companies if they were to find out their direct competitior was infringing on it? Just as a completely hypothetical example, what if YouTube was infringing on Modavox's patent? Would Newscorp and NBC Universal have any interest in owning Modavox and leveraging their "patented" technology against YouTube??????
Pieces of the puzzle are all falling into place imo.

News Corp., NBC pull together to challenge YouTube... Thu Mar 22 2007 10:45:59 ET
NEW YORK, March 22, 2007 -- News Corporation and NBC Universal will launch the largest Internet video distribution network ever assembled with the most sought-after content from television and film, it was announced today by Jeff Zucker, President and Chief Executive Officer, NBC Universal and Peter Chernin, President and Chief Operating Officer, News Corporation. The video-rich site will debut this summer with thousands of hours of full-length programming, movies and clips, representing premium content from at least a dozen networks and two major film studios.
AOL, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo! will be the new site’s initial distribution partners. Their users, who represent 96 percent of the monthly U.S. unique users on the Internet, will have unlimited access to the site’s vast library of content. This media alliance will offer consumers free long- and short-form video and create a compelling platform for advertisers, targeting the rapidly growing audience of online video consumers. Charter advertisers include Cadbury Schweppes, Cisco, Esurance, Intel Corporation and General Motors.
“This is a game changer for Internet video,” said Peter Chernin, President and Chief Operating Officer of News Corporation. “We’ll have access to just about the entire U.S. Internet audience at launch. And for the first time, consumers will get what they want -- professionally produced video delivered on the sites where they live. We’re excited about the potential for this alliance and we’re looking forward to working with any content provider or distributor who wants to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.”
“Anyone who believes in the value of ubiquitous distribution will find this announcement incredibly exciting,” said Jeff Zucker, President and CEO of NBC Universal. “This venture supercharges our distribution of protected, quality content to fans everywhere. Consumers get a hugely attractive aggregation of a wide range of content, and marketers get a novel way to connect with a large and highly engaged audience.”
At launch, full episodes and clips from current hit shows, including Heroes, 24, House, My Name Is Earl, Saturday Night Live, Friday Night Lights, The Riches, 30 Rock, The Simpsons, The Tonight Show, Prison Break, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader and Top Chef, plus hits from the studios’ vast television libraries, will be available free, on an ad-supported basis, within a rich consumer experience featuring personalized video playlists, mashups, online communities and video search. Plus, the extensive programming lineup will include fan favorite films like Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, Devil Wears Prada, The Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy with bonus materials and movie trailers. Post- launch, plans will be considered for acquiring additional content as well as producing and licensing original programming for the new site’s audience.
Its launch distribution partners will provide the biggest potential reach of any player on the Internet. Moreover, the new site will actively seek agreements with a variety of additional distribution partners.
“This new venture is further proof that the Internet is now a full-fledged entertainment medium, and we are delighted to serve as a major online distribution partner for the quality content produced by these media powerhouses, as well as a provider of strategic services to the new venture,” said Randy Falco, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, AOL.
“This partnership is completely aligned with our continued investment in video on MSN and will allow hundreds of millions of our consumers to tune into a vast library of high-quality, safe and legal online video,” said Kevin Johnson, President, Platform and Services Division, Microsoft. “Our alliance proves that you can deliver quality online video entertainment and protect intellectual property and copyright at the same time. We look forward to working together to explore additional opportunities to distribute this content across other Microsoft services and devices.”
“By delivering the new site’s content to our more than 65 million users, we can build on MySpace’s position as a leading destination for online video, and enable content creators to tap into the power of social networking,” said Peter Levinsohn, President of Fox Interactive Media. “The ability to embed video clips within over 160 million profile pages will empower members of the MySpace community to view, share and truly interact with some of the entertainment world’s most popular content.”
“We are excited to be a part of this landmark partnership that connects people to the content they care about. As the most visited site in the U.S., this deal gives Yahoo!’s users unprecedented access to their favorite shows and offers them engaging content in a premium video format,” said Terry Semel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yahoo! Inc. “We believe that this relationship underscores Yahoo!'s respect for content owners and copyrights and positions us as one of the premier distribution sites on the Web for entertainment programming.”
Each distribution partner will feature the site’s content in an embedded player customized with a look and feel consistent with each site, making the offering organic to each destination. The new company will offer innovative advertising sales propositions by being able to sell cross-platform -- on-air and on-line. Post-launch, sites affiliated with founding companies, including iVillage and IGN, will also have the opportunity to become distribution partners.
The new company will be located in New York and Los Angeles. A transitional management team led by NBC Universal’s Chief Digital Officer George Kliavkoff, along with an experienced group of executives from NBC Universal and News Corporation, will work together to launch the site. The company’s permanent management will be announced shortly, along with branding details and additional advertising partners. Each company will devote a significant marketing and promotional budget to the new site’s launch.
News Corporation and NBC Universal are creating this strategic alliance at a time when Internet users and advertisers are embracing online video as never before. In January, there were 123 million unique video streamers and downloaders (comScore Video Metrix). In 2005, video streams totaled nearly 18 billion, and that amount is expected to triple by 2010 (AccuStream iMedia Research, 2006). And research firm eMarketer estimates $410 million was spent on online video advertising in 2006, an amount that is expected to almost double this year.

"Over the next year many technology and Internet companies are going to get acquired." Top Tech Takeover Targets
By James Altucher Stockpickr.com
Many tech companies are ripe for acquisition. They have a ton of cash, generated both from profits and the over-exuberant IPO market of the late 90s. They have increasing cash flows due to the ever expanding need for all things Internet (content, connectivity, computational power), and there are many natural buyers:
Cisco (CSCO), Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Symantec (SYMC), EMC (EMC) and others are all making multi-billion dollar acquisitions. They are flush with cash and don’t know what to do with it other than to attempt to dominate the world through more acquisitions.
Private equity – There’s one trillion dollars cash lying on the sidelines that has to be put to work within the next three to five years. Private equity firms don’t buy shares. They buy companies.
Themselves – Many of the targets I identify below are already doing share buybacks, in effect, quietly taking themselves private. At Stockpickr.com we’ve identified 15 companies that fit the criteria that make a takeover a slam dunk at current values. See the link to the right for our full list. See below for some of the companies we’ve identified, plus analysis:
Akamai Technologies (AKAM):
Akamai is a perfect company to get acquired by Cisco, particularly after its recent acquisition of WebEx at 15 times cash flows, which provides IP-based video conferencing for the enterprise. When the Internet was just blossoming, it was simply enough to get your information from your computer out into the world beyond. And that is what Cisco was great at with their first major product, their routers.
But now with the audience fully matured and demanding video (e.g., WebEx), the companies that speed up the last mile of transmission of Web content will become increasingly valuable. Akamai is the leader in this area.
Akamai takes content (for instance, your Web site) off of your local hosting service and distributes it across the world so that whoever wants your content will have to take as few hops as possible to find it. At 15 times cash flows, Akamai trades exactly in line with where WebEx was trading when Cisco acquired it.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Super hedge fund manager and former George Soros protégé Stanley Druckenmiller owns shares of Akamai. Druckenmiller was running Soros’s fund in 1992 when he pulled the trigger on the trade that became famous for “breaking the bank” in England. That day, the pound reached a 20-year low as a result (many believe) of Soros and Druckenmiller’s machinations. Now he’s loading up on Akamai.
United Online (UNTD):
What!? A declining, old school, dial-up Internet service provider? Most people don’t realize that United Online has quietly been building one of the largest social networks around, Classmates.com. All of United’s profit growth comes from Classmates.com. Also, United’s cash flows are immense. Let’s look at the basic numbers: A $932 million market cap and $162 million cash in the bank with no debt, giving it an enterprise value of $770 million. With operating earnings of $154 million, United trades at just five times cash flows.
The situation reminds me of Ask Jeeves which was trading for seven times cash flows right before Interactive Corp. (IACI) bought it for a 20% premium. The Classmates.com asset is too huge to ignore with traffic doubling every year. Consequently, United’s content and media division posted a 33% revenue increase when compared to the year ago period in its most recent quarter. Additionally, United pays out a 5.7% dividend, making it the highest yielding tech company that I track.
Again, it’s interesting to see who is looking past the stigma of the “dialup services provider” label that has plagued United among Wall Street analysts. Quant-driven Renaissance Technologies owns 4.2% of the stock. According to Trader Monthly magazine, Jim Simons the manager of Renaissance, made between $1.5 billion and $2 billion for himself last year, tying for number one on the list of the top earning hedge fund managers. Renaissance has consistently posted 30%+ returns since its inception 20 years ago. At Stockpickr, we track Renaissance’s holdings and you can track them as well with the link to the right.
Intuit (INTU)
Intuit, through its QuickBooks software and various tax packages, provides financial management and tax solutions to small business, consumers, and accountants. This would be a perfect latch-on for Oracle since it is primarily catering to large businesses but is starting to face competition on the small business end from MySQL. Intuit would be a great foot in the door for Oracle to get in the small business. Microsoft has also long been rumored to have an eye on nabbing Intuit.
Intuit trades at 11.5 times cash flows and has almost $1 billion net cash in the bank. Analysts expect earnings per share to go from $1.37 in the fiscal year ending July 2007 to $1.58 per share in fiscal 2008. Interestingly, Renaissance Technologies also is a believer in Intuit’s prospects, owning $94 million worth of the company. My theory on Renaissance is that they have modeled out the returns gained by buying stocks with heavy amounts of cash, little debt, and low multiples over cash flows, hence their investments in companies like United and Intuit.
Cold Cash
As an aside, several years ago I applied for a job at Renaissance. A friend of mine who ran a fund of funds told me that they had a very statistics-oriented approach. “They even model out what happens to the market when there’s a blizzard outside.” Ok, I thought. I can do that. So I created the “Blizzard System” for Stockpickr.com that answers the question, “what does the market do when there is more than five inches of snow on Central Park.” See the link to the “Blizzard System” on the right. I wrote to Jim Simons and had a nice back and forth with him but, alas, they only hire Ph.D.s and I unfortunately had been thrown out of graduate school. But that’s another story.
Over the next year many technology and Internet companies are going to get acquired. Suddenly investors will look around for tech stocks and they’ll realize that the supply of technology shares that trade on the markets are severely depleted. This is a precondition for the next bubble, when demand begins to greatly outstrip supply. That bubble will be created by the enormous liquidity that is on the sidelines right now but will be moving into the market over the next year.

Technically setting up very nicely. Supply appears to be somewhat exausted at current levels.
Still anticpating an eventual assault on old highs in near term.
Acquisition activity in the space is at a feverish pace with TFSM and DCLK being acquired as of late.
I think there is high degree of likelyhood MDVX is acquired by year end. If not, it will be simply because management has decided to not accept an offer.

Visitor Segmentation Offers Target Marketing Insight By Jennifer LeClaire May 9, 2007 10:16AM
Different strokes for different folks. We all know the concept. The question for Web marketers and anyone in charge of converting online shoppers into online buyers is, how do we know which strokes suit which folks? The key is finding common groups of visitors, analyzing their actions, and targeting your offers to each group. It might sound complicated... but it doesn't have to be. It's one thing to see what the masses are doing on your site, the search terms they use, the pages they visit, the sales the generate. It's quite another thing to truly understand how targeted groups of visitors are behaving in your virtual outpost. The latter approach to analyzing Web metrics offers insights that open the doors to target marketing opportunities galore. The concept is called visitor segmentation: grouping visitors into segments according to specific actions you are trying to measure. You could segment visitors based on any number of factors, such as new versus returning visitors, paid versus organic search traffic, or converting versus non-converting users. The possibilities are virtually endless and the insights are absolutely valuable.
"Segmentation is not a new idea in traditional marketing," says John Squire, senior vice president at Coremetrics, an on-demand Web analytics and marketing solutions vendor. "The idea," Squire says, "is to target the people who have a high likelihood of becoming long-term customers. You have to find out what it takes to get them interested, how they use the site and what it takes to turn them into customers."
Such is the value of Web analytics. When you tap into these metrics, there are no expensive market research studies or demographic studies to conduct. No focus groups to gather. No surveys to execute. It's all right there in the data. Your job is to properly segment the data so you can clearly determine which business opportunities you could be cashing in on.
An Essential Tactic
Visitor segmentation is the first essential tool for producing crisp metrics and analysis, says Gary Angel, president and CTO of Semphonic, a Web analytics consultancy and search-engine tool provider. What's more, he says, visitor segmentation is fundamental to understanding what each piece of your Web site is supposed to accomplish. From his view, there is almost no Web analysis problem that doesn't require a visitor segmentation first.
"Almost every Web site serves a variety of constituents with different interests and concerns," Angel explains. "Judging how well a Web site is performing demands understanding of how well each piece is serving the appropriate set of visitors."
Web sites are especially prone to misinterpretation because they often draw many unqualified or misdirected visitors. This traffic typically distorts almost every "average" or key performance indicator (KPI) on the site, including conversion rates and reach metrics. Segmenting the visitors helps avoid this scenario.
Defining Visitor Segments
The visitor segments you choose are inherently business- and industry-specific. They are also specific to a certain kind of analysis. For example, if you are looking at the effectiveness of a particular area or tool on your site, your visitor segmentations will often revolve around usage of that tool.
In general, Angel says, most e-commerce sites find that it is essential to segment in a way that differentiats customers and prospects -- and almost always on much finer grained divisions of each. Prospect segmentations usually focus on measures of engagement and on the original source of the traffic, or which ad campaigns drove leads to come and visit. Customer segmentations, however, typically involve either product interest or revenue and loyalty metrics.
"We also encourage sites to use 'customer since' metrics to track customers by their length of relationship," Angel explains. "For ad-based sites, content interest and return loyalty are two of the most important dimensions. For lead-generation sites, interest and engagement level often drive segmentation."
Comparing Visitors to Visitors
Visitor segmentation is simple from a technology standpoint. The major vendors offer back-end bells and whistles that make it as easy as clicking a few buttons: once you define your target. As Angel mentioned, customer and prospect segmentation is high level. You can drill down into deeper analysis, but you should know why you are drilling down and what you hope to find before you begin the expedition.
"The best marketers examine the value of their brand and their company's vision to determine how to segment their visitors," Squire says, noting that offline shopping patterns may or may not be the same as online shopping patterns, but unique value propositions are the same.
"Think about the segments you've attracted in the bricks and mortar world," he adds. "You can target those same customers in the same way once you identify them online."
Follow the Money
Based on Squire's philosophy that it's the long-term customers who count, you could track first-time visitors, repeat visitors, first-time buyers and repeat buyers and compare them to one another.
For example, if you discover that first-time visitors rarely make a purchase, then attempting to strike their fancy with more choices doesn't offer as much value as catering to trends revealed among your segment of repeat buyers. In other words, if your first-time visitors are searching for almond coffee, find it, but don't buy it, but your repeat visitors are buying vanilla coffee by the barrel, then your promotional efforts should be around upselling those vanilla-coffee lovers on complimentary products, perhaps vanilla scones, rather than trying to find a way to get those almond-coffee shoppers to convert. If you have the resources, you could spend time on both groups, but if you have to prioritize, then follow Squire's advice: focus on the likely buyers.
You could take the opposite tack, of course. If you discover that your repeat buyers aren't demonstrating any product trends, but droves of first-time visitors are looking for something that you don't carry, then you may want to test the market for that product on your loyal customers and then broaden your merchandising horizons. You could also leverage the data your visitor-segmentation efforts unveil to uncover the best places to advertise to generate conversions, as Angel mentioned, or the best geographic regions to market certain products, and so on.
Get Results Now!
The best way to become more familiar with visitor segmentation is to get your hands dirty with the data. Based on your unique value proposition, your specific business goals, and the visitor history you've already accumulated, you can define visitor segments as broadly or as narrowly as you'd like and begin driving additional value from the online channel within a matter of days.
"Using visitor segmentation, you can discover what types of products are appealing to what types of customers in weeks rather than months, or in days rather than weeks," Squire says. "You can run tests to see what's working and what isn't based on your target audience. You can determine," he says, "without a doubt, which customer groups respond to which promotions."
If you can think it up, you can use visitor-segmentation technology found in Web analytics programs to track it. And, if you can track it, you can most likely use that data to understand your prospects and customers better, and ultimately, to increase your online sales.

Google prefers small technology companies in its M&A strategy Posted : Sat, 12 May 2007 07:06:00GMT Author : Nigel Wright Category : Internet (Technology)
NEW YORK: Google Inc. is now ready for large acquisitions and it sees this as a strategy for growth. However, the search company would prefer small technology deals to mega buyouts.
Google's chief executive Eric Schmidt said at a press briefing at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters the company is prepared to acquire large organizations, like DoubleClick, which it has agreed to buy for $3.1 billion, but it would rather do so to cover major gaps in its businesses.
The company would not get into acquisitions of large companies in spite of its being in a position to do so for competitive reasons. It will be done if it could become part of an exercise to build a portfolio, he added.
On the contrary, it would like to have acquisitions of small technology companies as the primary element in its merger and acquisitions strategy, Schmidt said. In the past, the company would buy businesses in lieu of hiring engineers. However, now it buys a start-up one every few days or around one in a week, he revealed.
He also made it clear that Google is not looking at media companies. He said the company has decided to focus primarily on user-generated content, and not on businesses where it would come to own content.
Schmidt said the company's strategy would focus on search, advertisements and applications. While it is a dominant player in both search and advertisements, it has recently forayed into applications by offering online software applications and web publishing tools under its Google Appns. While most of these products are offered free, it has premium licensed versions of the software targeting companies and government organizations. However, this diversification has not become a major source of revenue for the company.
Schmidt said the whole thrust is on the shift to an online lifestyle. Since people are spending more and more time online, Google thinks it can bring some of the new applications that matter to these people.
The company is not worried about the recent development of Microsoft talking to Yahoo on a possible merger. It will not change the company's strategy, Schmidt said, adding perhaps it would change the competitive dynamic, but it would not lead to the company doing anything different.
