eDOORWAYS is using webcasting as a means to ensure that our supporters in remote corners of the world have the opportunity to receive our message in real-time.
eDOORWAYS is expected to launch our highly anticipated Consumer 3.0SM platform in 2009. We seem to have become a global curiosity according to people we’re hearing from. The growing interest has translated into an international investment opportunity for those abroad. It’s partly for this reason that eDOORWAYS is taking the show worldwide – now offering the company’s 2nd shareholder conference call through live streaming media technology in addition to an international dial-in number.
Initially, in an attempt to appease foreign investors, we added an international dial-in number for the call – something we had not done on our last conference call. With increased traffic in “info request” emails, calls to the company and communications on this blog signifying genuine interest, we quickly determined that access to the 2nd conference call had to be widely broadened. Our decision to stream a live webcast to ensure not only domestic reach, but to respond to international interest was validated when blog communications from shareholders overseas expressed disappointment at the possibility of their exclusion from the event.
Excitement in and around our company has kicked into high gear as the call date nears. Although we are not yet providing details about the contents of the presentation, it’s clear that both Gary Kimmons and Kristen Claflin, the company’s newly appointed Brand Marketing and Site Monetization Strategist, are revved up and ready to address callers. It’s also been suggested that there could be the possibility of one or two unexpected surprises that may capture the attention of new investors.
The domestic and international dial-in numbers, as well as a link to the webcast will be released tomorrow, Friday, June 26th, 2009. This information will also be presented on both the company’s corporate website and this blog.

Since you are saying you have a launch date and will be announcing it during the next stockholders conference call. I’ve read on several of the blogs that you are either going national in big cities, or taking it just local in the Houston area. Which is it? Local is very much different then national.
What will be your budget for advertising and marketing? If the site is as big as you say it is and you have such top employees and companies on board, isn’t a local launch sort of defeating the purpose?
I do have faith in the company and the web platform. I just think without a decent budget for advertising and marketing, that the release of eDoorways will be a ripple instead of a tidal wave.

As mentioned earlier can we have a hint as to what the “one to two unexpected surpises” may be? If not are they at least good surpises? Thanks again for all your hard work I am excited about the conference call on Monday.

Danny, we’re sorry if our sometimes seemingly overzealous writers got you guys all worked up. We’ll strap them down and flog them for you!
But seriously, since when would anyone openly allude to the possibly of a surprise that could in any way be bad? Would you do that? We certainly wouldn’t!
This should be a wonderful conference call!

Hi Stephen. The shortest answer to your question is that we intend to go national as quickly as possible. The purpose of a “local” soft launch in a market such as Austin is simply to get the bugs out (there are always a few). This is a common practice of internet service rollouts. In a perfect world, the time is well-spent, and it saves money. Regarding our budget, there is sufficient money allocated to cover a national launch. The launch cost projections are posted in our SEC filings.
