ValueSlant Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 An interesting lesson in the past few days with the yellow pages company DEXO and their "big" partnership with Google that is something that literally hundreds of small marketing companies also have. With corporate PR motto should be Don't Trust, Only Verify More on it here: http://valueslant.com/2011/06/21/dexo-dont-trust-hype/

The business model makes newspapers look like it's on the cutting edge of technology. I still get a yellow pages occasionally delivered to me. What a waste of trees/paper. Hopefully DEXO and Supermedia will emerge from chapter 11 2.0 with enough debt that makes the equity a good short again.
tengen Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Back in the day when I was interested in smaller tech stocks, I would get frequent laughs from companies announcing "partnerships" with IBM, MSFT, etc. when all they had done was sign up to participate in some kind of developer network. You would also see small companies list some giant company as a client when the client was really some regional office that had purchased one or two licenses of the small company's product. Always take these kinds of announcements with a big grain of salt.
