 Burn Rate of TOM.COM
Written by The Market from Hong Kong on 8/12/2000
|
| Burn Rate and cash position-wise, unless significant non-revenue generating tangent business initiatives are launched, the company has enough $$$ to keep going... however, investors will be looking for revenue generation and then a stem to mounting losses. Considering that there will likely be significant ammortization of intangibles hitting the bottom line as they have big US names (CNET, etc. etc.), the stemming in paper losses doesn't seem to subside anytime soon. |

Big Surprise!
Written by James Dillion from Hong Kong on 7/29/2000
|
| My firm has put trust in TOM.COM and invest a great amount in our pacific mutual funds. TOM.COM surprised us by sacks 80 employees from its Hong Kong headquarter. Is this a signal of the dotcom bubble has finished? TOM.COM was schedule to release 12 vertical portals, but it’s released only 8, much behind it’s plan. Not to mention there are so much JS and system errors in its existing portal as well. |

Finally, it's here...
Written by Jeff Wong from Hong Kong on 7/29/2000
|
| Tom.com has fired 80 of its Hong Kong employees in an effort to realign the company’s resources and boost competitiveness in the market. Tom.com’s job chop follows a number of high-profile firms wielding the employee axe. Earlier this month, NextMedia.com and ActionAce nixed a combined 175 workers, while SCMP.com laid off 18 employees. |

Bad design!
Written by Hok Wing Juw from Hong Kong on 7/6/2000
|
| TOM.COM never can provide such user-friendly interface, all it's been doing is getting public awareness to boost up its stock share. After 3 months from its IPO in March 2000. TOM.COM's share has dropped more than 50%!!! They will have to learn from a hard way that content and quality means more than a famous person's influence in long run. |

Disappointment!
Written by Shirley from Hong Kong on 7/6/2000
|
| With more expectation, I got more disappointment! TOM.COM recently launched 8 vertical portals, but I found there are too many programming errors, Java Script, JSP and even missing images. I lost my navigation windows in the first page!!! I was absolutely shocked by the way TOM.COM pop up so many windows, I wonder if the UI designer has been working in another industry! Disappointment!!! |

Lee's Family and TOM.COM
Written by GB from Hong Kong on 2/25/2000
|
| I am working for one of the top US investment bank in Hong Kong. All I can say that TOM.COM is an amazing phenomenon for my 20 years experience in investment. Seemed Hong Kong is going to be dominant by Les's family as expected. |

| The site is so sloooooow!
Better than Pointcast, but still resource hungry.
However, they take invester's money fast fast fast! |

Registration
Written by Kim from Japan on 2/23/2000
|
| Registration is TOM.COM's main strategy, getting user to register first, then deliver the personalized content according to her/his perferences. Just my 2 cents, TOM.COM really needs to improve it's UI in order to get more users, hence more value on it's market share. This is at least how major US investment banks are viewing. The current sign-up users are too minimal to generate a future fund injection from global VCs. |
