Where do we go from here?
Written by Greenland Club from Hong Kong on 5/29/2001
|
The dotcom dream has been broken and TOM.COM was lucky to stay above its IPO, well, Superman's stock ma, what do ya expect? However, from its recent acquisition and buy out, TOM seemed putting more weight in brick business than virtual ones. Still, I don't see how the start-ups can sharply increase their revenue by the end of this year in additional to the coming US recession. So, where do the rest start up go from here exactly? |

Keep up!

Despite the downtime in NASDAQ, the new TOM.COM CEO is doing his every best to rise the company's brand and revenue. Since the beginning of this year, TOM.COM has been merging its online operation with offline companies and increases brand profile on GEM. I start to visit this ICP now and it's much updated and interested than it was in March last year.

Keep buying traditional company!
Written by Osborne Leed from Hong Kong on 3/22/2001

Tom.com suffered a net loss of HK$436 million for the year. I've seen a trend that over the next year tom.com plans to continue its cross media purchases. In fact, for the last year tom.com has taken stakes in two offline media companies: sports event organizer and advertising agency. My Chinese friends keeps telling me the portal has improved its content a lot since launch, but who will give credit to the old ICP model? According to IDC, only 3-4 will left in big China region. |

Below IPO price soon.
Written by Ellis from Hong Kong on 3/16/2001
|
Online advertising has faced some serious problems recently. Revenue growth has fallen because companies no longer believe this medium is as successful as traditional media such as television. In addition, the collapse of the high-tech bubble has segued into an economic slowdown in the US, with stock markets falling worldwide and investor's savings plunging. TOM.COM's share will soon drop below IPO if NASDAQ keeps going down. |

Superman Rules!
Written by Reis Mania from Hong Kong on 3/14/2001

TOM.COM is growing every day, it launched the voice navigation this week in China. I like their recently revamped Web site, very professional, seemed all its subsidiaries Web sites also had a face lift, like Metro 104, Metro 997, etc. Content is much richer and updated. IMOP, I am pretty sure Superman's dotcom will stay as the NUMBER ONE bluechip company on GEM for a long time. |

Paying for eyeballs
Written by GEM from Hong Kong on 3/6/2001
|
IMOP, companies like TOM.COM even pay to buy eyeballs, it is hard to imagine that these companies can really transform into a real "business". Even it's trying hard to buy traditional media houses across Asia. Still, it will take sometime for them to succeed.

Superman's portal is improving
Written by Tai Pan from Hong Kong on 3/6/2001
|
Still remember the crazy phenomenon back in March 2000? TOM.COM the superman's portal is changing both internally and external. The new CEO is much capable and he's making many pro-active changes and improvements to the site. At least I see much updated news and more exclusive content. Btw, TOM.COM is the only dotcom stock on GEM didn't fall below it's IPO value. |

Moving into traditional business
Written by Phillips Wesley from Hong Kong on 1/31/2001
|
Seemed to me even the giant pan Asia portal TOM.COM is moving towards more traditional business model, buying adv/media companies in Shanghai and GuangZhou. What does this tell us? dotcom is died? More companies are being pushed by their investors to show real $$$? |

TOM.COM Rules
Written by Analyst from Hong Kong on 1/30/2001
|
In any contest there can be only one winner, and Tom.com easily leads the pack. There should perhaps be a special word for those companies which raise a ton of money and then figure out what to do with their site, but one thing is for sure, their need to grab views quickly instead of developing a customer base leads them straight to the red light district.

The second version is worst!
Written by Analyst from Hong Kong on 1/5/2001
|
Asian tech needs people who are committed to tech and innovation no matter what the stockmarket or latest sexy thing to do becomes. TOM.COM is far from perfect and far from having killer track records and competencies. Their second version is even worst then the first one, abusive Java Script use and the speed is really slow. I wonder why they host everything under WP building. |
