IF THE "OTHER" TRIANGLE HAD FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND NEWS WAS MADE....
OUCH!
IT IS RATHER FUNNY BUT I SURELY HOPE IT ONLY AFFECTS US IN A POSITIVE LIGHT! PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY CAUSING ANOTHER STOCK TO DO THINGS (REGARDLESS IF THEIR UP OR DOWN) BASED UPON MISINFORMATION.

Their price must have skyrocketed for them to issue a article!!! And now if people read that misinformed wrong website they read that they are not launching a Gay network and that is really scary because investors might think that it has been cancled. That website needs to change their name.
I'm glad that I was sending out the correct web address when I emailed 1000's of GLBT establishments at least they have the correct web site.
"Thus, we plan to start a new international marketing drive by approaching Triangle Multimedia Ltd (US) to see if they would be interested in us developing a new web site for them!"
I doubt QBID is going to try and get involved with these guys to probably to prevent any confusion....but these guys know their stuff, much better than whoever QBID has, and it would be real nice to see a page like this for our QTV.

Our comprehensive crisis and response plans for clients put out fires before they ignite. Our counsel for businesses and organizations facing sensitive issues protects them and turns crisis into opportunity.
Our clients emerge from the crisis on top. We prepare clients to respond to unexpected situations and periods of increased attention. Deveney guides clients through tumultuous times with confidence and clarity. Our solid experience, judgment and ethics have reversed many seemingly hopeless situations.
During periods of governmental or legal attacks, public protests or distrust, or onslaught from competition, we have helped clients increase market share, sales, employee morale and reverse public opinion. We’ve navigated our clients to greater success through tempests of environmental protests, accusations of discrimination, EEOC attacks, and devastated public images.
Deveney Communication knows how to maintain credibility in a skeptical world.
We’re adept at managing media and public inquiries for clients regarding crises incidents or critical topics. Attacks that throw other companies off course barely tap a Deveney client.
We prepare statements and the individuals who deliver them. We train clients to master interviews from every possible medium, assuring coverage that is message-driven by the client’s message, not the reporter’s question.
Recognizing the power of public opinion, we conduct research to accurately measure the attitudes, beliefs and potential reaction of specific segments of the public. We tailor strategies to garner maximum support from critical publics.
The March of Dimes is the third-largest nonprofit health agency and premier advocate for the health of mothers and babies. Research, education community service and advocacy efforts are targeted to prevent birth defects-the leading threat to the health of children.
Of the over 50 million women of childbearing age, nearly 4 million will have a baby in a given year. Half of those 4 million births are to women who were not planning a pregnancy. A multivitamin containing folic acid, if taken daily, could reduce the incidence of neural and spinal birth defects by up to 70%. However, in Louisiana only 20% of women 18-44-years-old take a vitamin with folic acid. In Mississippi, only 25% of women 18-44-years-old take a vitamin with folic acid.
When research showed that the B vitamin folic acid helps prevent birth defects, the March of Dimes mounted an aggressive campaign to get the word out to every woman in America. In Louisiana and Mississippi, birth defects and infant mortality occur at a rate at least 20% greater than the national average since 1992. Since the launch of their campaign, birth defects in Louisiana and Mississippi had not been significantly reduced; the March of Dimes Louisiana and Mississippi chapters needed an immediate, aggressive public health information push to increase the awareness of the importance of folic acid consumption among future mothers.
The Program
Our target audience were segmented into two distinct groups:
Women contemplating pregnancy Women not currently contemplating pregnancy, but for whom pregnancy is a possibility We identified the media as an affective tool to provide information about folic acid to our target audiences. Geographically we segmented the campaign into distinct markets throughout Louisiana and Mississippi.
Goals and Objectives
The overall goal of the campaign was to increase awareness of folic acid to our target audiences. Additional objectives included: 1. Develop and implement a plan for public service announcement distribution and development of media promotions that will result in coverage throughout Mississippi and Louisiana. 2. Develop a communication committee of volunteers who can generate publicity, place public service announcements and act as spokespeople for the campaign.
Working within the budget of a nonprofit we need to present a creative, but cost effective way to gain awareness of the folic acid message. The campaign focused on the March of Dimes public service announcements, "The Stork" and "The Stork Returns."
Set up meetings with public service directors-Rather than our agency delivering the public service announcement to each of the markets in Louisiana and Mississippi, March of Dimes volunteers met with each PSA director to deliver information about the folic acid message. The PSA was delivered during these meetings along creatively packaged gift baskets with foods high in folic acid. These meetings scheduled in advance, served to emphasize the importance of the message by adding a personal touch to the campaign - establishing relationships with those having the power to air the message. We also delivered audio versions of the PSA to radios stations throughout Mississippi.
Develop a communication committee - To garner additional support for the campaign, key governmental officials along with communication and media professionals were solicited to participate on a committee designed to augment the communication efforts already in place. Our strategic market research identified individuals in each market with the expertise and interest to help promote the message. Evaluation
$2,223,243 of targeted media coverage-with over $1 million for both Louisiana and Mississippi 84 to 1 return on their investments 52% of people have heard of folic acid 2,168,489 airings in a 6-9 month span Targeted media coverage was secured in 100% of the targeted geographic areas Most successful campaign in both state organizations' history Deemed a national role model of success With PSA directors behind the folic acid message, statewide television PSA airings reached an unprecedented audience with over 2 million airings throughout the campaign.
Additional media relations efforts led to three separate television interviews, one that featured a chef who cooked foods rich in folic acid. In Louisiana we secured PSA placement in three popular movie theatres - which ran the PSA on every screen all day long, the New Orleans Film Festival and in over 100 hotels reaching over 24,000 hotel rooms throughout the state.
Our governmental relations enlisted the support from every mayor in our target markets. The mayor's all proclaimed a day, "Folic Acid Awareness Day" throughout their respective city. In addition, Governor Foster proclaimed the month of November 2001, "Folic Acid Awareness Month" throughout Louisiana.
Most importantly, Gallup survey results confirmed that the message was reaching our target audiences. More women throughout Louisiana and Mississippi had heard, read or seen information about The March of Dimes than the national average.
The Gallup survey was conducting during the campaign showed that 52% of people throughout Louisiana and Mississippi had heard of folic acid-raising their state rankings nationally.
The top official for the March of Dimes in Louisiana said, "in six months, Deveney Communication did more in moving us forward in our mission and name recognition than we had been able to do in several years combined."
The national organization asked that the campaign details be shared with other state's chapters throughout the country as the March of Dimes has deemed the Louisiana/Mississippi campaign a national role model of success.
The March of Dimes Director of Communication and Marketing for the Southern Region remarked, "The Deveney Communication team approach has been very effective. The follow-up on all aspects of our account has been outstanding. Having worked with various firms in multiple states without a doubt, the quality of service we receive from Deveney Communication is unparalleled."
After the results of the Louisiana/Mississippi campaign were shared, the March of Dimes Kentucky Chapter enlisted Deveney Communication's support and noted it in their application to receive a grant. The Kentucky Chapter's plan to work with Deveney Communication prompted the March of Dimes to award them the grant. Deveney Communication now represents Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky for the next year's campaign.
Combined efforts on the folic acid campaign has set the stage for decreasing the number of children in Louisiana and Mississippi born with birth defects-proving the value of the March of Dimes mission: "Saving babies, together."

HERE"S DEVENEY SAVING YET ANOTHER FLEDGLING COMPANY>
CASE STUDIES
VitaRx
The Case VitaRx National Mail Order Pharmacy was still in its infancy when it sought our counsel to prepare for and manage the company’s national launch. At the time the fledgling company had neither a name nor a corporate identity.
It aimed to break into the industry nationwide, beginning in the southeast region, and capture a portion of what was, by many standards, a hyper-mature market dominated for years by a single Goliath company. Garnering industry recognition, contracts and awareness seemed next to impossible for the emerging VitaRx. Our goal was to generate trust and credibility for VitaRx, with the objective of securing third-party endorsement for the company from the media, civic organizations and the community.
The Research We started at ground zero, working with the company’s leadership to develop a complete corporate identity, including the name, “VitaRx,” which conveys the spirit of life that comes with effective prescriptions and treatment. We worked with a host of artists and designers to develop a full line of promotional materials and identity pieces for the company launch.
To create the comprehensive, award-winning integrated marketing campaign for its launch, we conducted primary and secondary research, including a series of executive interviews and focus groups. Through strategic planning, we determined target markets (geographic, demographic and psychographic), key messages, as well as a strategic direction for events and community and media relations. To lay the groundwork for the launch, we coordinated the production of a targeted regional advertising campaign and creation of a Web site designed to address specific products and target markets.
The Strategy
Research revealed that segmenting the target audiences and focusing on three distinct service areas would allow for the most tailored and effective communication. A review of the industry pointed to HIV and AIDS, oncology and specific pharmacy as the service areas with the most potential for development. We initiated the launch with the promotion of services targeted to the HIV and AIDS population.
Focus groups revealed that this audience valued trust and honesty first, followed by value, affordability and customer service. For this reason, we introduced VitaRx first to potential clients through event sponsorships, community meetings and seminars and strategic partnerships with some of the region’s oldest, largest and most highly-regarded AIDS service organizations.
By the time we launched the company to the media, it was already well known, respected and endorsed in the regional HIV- and AIDS-affected populations. Through community relations and sponsorships, we strategically created, managed and promoted some $120,000 of annual philanthropic and public service efforts.
The Results Informal surveying of those in the HIV and AIDS community documents considerable name recognition. Within 14 months of existence, VitaRx was receiving recognition and awards from some of the most revered third-party endorsements organizations can receive.
The International Association of Business Communicators honored VitaRx with the sixth annual Harmony Award, honoring its communication efforts to bring harmony to the region. The company was recognized for its work in fostering understanding among people of different races, creeds, colors, sexes, sexual orientations and national origins.
NO/AIDS Task Force honored VitaRx with its two highest honors: the STAR Award and the Partnership for Life Volunteer Service Award. The STAR award is bestowed upon a select few that have enhanced and strengthened AIDS-service efforts through volunteerism, financial support, leadership or implementation of new programs. The award honors those whose actions ensure that the programs and services for those affected by HIV and AIDS are available to all who need them. The Partnership for Life Volunteer Service Award recognizes exemplary humanitarian efforts through volunteer service.
In conjunction with Pride Fest, VitaRx was a finalist for the Gay Appreciation Awards honoring the best in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community. It was also a finalist in the GLBT-friendly Business of the Year and the GLBT Business of the Year categories. The attendees of Pride Fest, a large majority of our target audience, vote for the finalists of this award. Though it was not the winner, this was the first time a company reached finalist status without at least six years of previous nominations. In fact, VitaRx did not exist when the award was presented a year prior.
Our targeted media relations positioned and quoted VitaRx as an expert in the mail-order pharmacy and Internet pharmacy business in national publications including Managed Care Magazine, Drug Topics and The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to the company’s stellar community relations, within 15 months of the launch, the company’s monthly sales revenue had reached some $3 million. It exceeded its annual sales goal by well over $9 million and its income doubled in year two.
Despite the track record of the established market leader, VitaRx captured a significant majority of the market share from them in the southeast region in which we launched.
Two of the largest managed care organizations in the country became clients, along with all of the region’s AIDS service organizations. All the areas residential facilities for people living with AIDS switched to VitaRx for prescription services. Our targeted marketing support was used to secure some 40 million members of HMOs and other managed care companies.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THE STOCK IS GOING TO MOVE. SURE, IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SELL AT .02 AND WATCH IT DROP TO .0135 AND BUY BACK AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS, RIGHT NOW THE STOCK IS .014 AND ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TO DECIDE IF THAT STOCK IS GOING TO DROP AND IF IT SHOOTS UP, YOU GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN AND YOU LOSE SHARES.
IN MY OPINION <------ COMING FROM A GUY WHO JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER 2 MIL AT .02 ONLY TO WATCH IT DROP TO .0135.
QBID IS SO CLOSE TO LAUNCHING. WE'RE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM SOFT LAUNCH. FEW SHORT WEEKS AFTER THAT, FULL LAUNCH. I WILL BE MORE INCLINED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY IF WE'RE FURTHER AWAY FROM LAUNCH BUT THEN AGAIN, SUCH MOVEMENTS IN THE PRICE ARE DUE TO US BEING SO CLOSE.
ULTIMATELY, IT'S YOUR SHARES/MONEY AND I WONT RISK MINE WITH US THIS CLOSE
I am so inclined to agree. I sold all my shares at .01--just to chase it to buy back at .0135 to panic and sell at .0165 only to buy back at .0158 and sell at .027. That was in one day. Granted I made money but it got real crazy. I think I would have made a little more by staying put and selling at .027. Next thing ya know I think it hits a bottom and I buy at .018 and everywhere down from there to average in again at .0135 or there abouts.
Moral of the story. It was ok to day trade it from .0001 to .01 because the time frame was 2 and 3 months into the future. Now the time frame is 2 weeks into the future. IMHO I am staying put. I did not like the ride down and most generally will not do this, definitely not with 14 mil shares. And of course if hind site was 20/20 I wish I would have sold at .019. But ya know it's way to late now to piss and moan about it now. lol If I believed there was any problems with this company I would not do so. I as you say "don't want to be caught with my pant's down." To the best of my ability I confirmed newly contracted Pr. Company--The convention in New Orleans thru Chuck and other posters--Susan and Frank's confirmation--The hot line--Hiring and reputation of MISS Lamont--The web site--Everything has been on time and delivered. IMHO--everything has been backed up by verified facts. All they have to do is LAUNCH and to this point no one has given me any indication that this will not happen.
Sure--anyone in there right mind is scared and has reservations. Without the balance of verifiable reality this would be a true pump and dump. IMHO There is not one person here on this board that posts regularly that has their head up in the clouds. We are not stupid. We all know the risks involved in penny stocks. We also know the POTENTIAL based on facts. We are also smart enough to know that we need to keep one finger on the sell button just in case there is a delay because you know the panic will be hell on wheels. As I stated..No one has given me a reason to believe they will not launch.

Back in March & April everyone was so skeptical about QBID being that it was a subpenny stock, even myself. I personally was waiting for the convention to see some truth. After seeing the pictures of them at the trade show - I now feel more secure. It is not a bunch of idiots forming a scam. I don't care where the booth was setup, THEY WERE THERE. Nobody would put that much effort or money into it if they weren't for real! Don't expect to get to $1 next week. Thats wishful thinking. But people need to stop being skeptical. It's a start-up business - It will take some time but the type of business it is, it can blow right out of the water and ride with the waves. If you missed the sub penny era -- Get in on the penny generation becuase if Q-Television gets picked up or starts generating revenue, WE WONT BE IN PENNY LAND NO MORE.
