Gary Kimmons announced yesterday that the company is leaving nothing to chance as they intend to make good on their commitment to soft launch the “SOLVE” doorway on October 1st, 2009. eDOORWAYS has signed former speakTECH Solutions Architect, Michael Vincent to manage functional testing, modifications and delivery of the eDOORWAYS’ platform previously developed by speakTECH. Vincent’s role will be to make sure that all necessary “SOLVE” soft launch components are in place and operating correctly.
Michael Vincent, who is a Visual Studio Team System MVP, consults primarily on Microsoft development tools and technologies. Operating within the software business for more than 20 years, Vincent has a wide range of experience working with smaller businesses such as eDOORWAYS to Fortune 100 companies. As a former speakTECH employee, Vincent possesses the knowledge and experience to provide eDOORWAYS with top grade software architecture, application lifecycle management, and development services. And considering that Vincent was the project manager regarding the initial design and development of the eDOORWAYS platform at speakTECH, he has intimate working knowledge of the platform.

I hope that this last webcast has been a learning experience and will not be duplicated anytime soon. It seems that the greater good would have been better served by a simple blog on the launch date. Confidence was not bolstered by the webcast (as evidenced by the reactions in the market yesterday afternoon and today). After waiting as long as the shareholders have for the release of Solve only to be told that they will need to wait longer was not the kind of thing that bolsters shareholder confidence. I feel as if we have been jerked around after repeated teasers, i.e. the launch date has been put aside by economic positioning in the market place or whatever it was called, quarter after quarter. Those teasers implied that the product was ready to go and yesterday’s announcement didn’t lend credence to those implied teasers. You have just now brought Vincent on board to “manage functional testing….” Do you see how that sounds. Hence, poor shareholder confidence today. Remember not all shareholders care about the product only the ability to make money on their investment. I believe that if you want to build shareholder confidence you might consider either daily or weekly reports via the blog first by providing a timeline and milestones to launch date from now. Then, by showing us the progress. Now is not the time to talk in generalities. Specifics are what are needed now. Show us that milestones are being met or exceeded. We all know that action speaks louder than words especially at this stage of the game. As stockholders, we have lost 60% or more of our net worth since yesterday’s launch date announcement.

Can you comment on what happened in May that we can no longer see the entire history for edwy. Also any word on the 10K??
Thank You

And I cannot see my own comment on this post.

Hi Bev! We apologize for the deletion of that one blog posting! You may have noticed that there was an errant heading at the top of the first page of our blog site. It turns out that the only way to get rid of it was to delete the posting you’re referring to. We hope that’s not too much of an imposition!
As it pertains to our filings, let us remind you that filing is one of the most important things we must accomplish in concert to launching the platform. The situation is as follows. We found that our books required more of us than just preparing them for an audit, especially in its relationship to our launch. Considering we believe that once we’re launched, our company and stock will enter an entirely new realm of viability. We have to be ready to play the part of a company committed to trading on a major exchange. This means that our books are not simply neat enough to pass an audit, but rather exact, flawless and pristine … exemplifying excellent book keeping, absolute transparency and most important, substantive shareholder value.
In short, we do expect at least 30 to 40 more business days to get this accounting, book keeping and auditing situation to where it needs to be before we can file. But Bev, we can assure you that we have taken some dramatic steps to ensure not only the filing of the audit, but that we would be ready to go onto a major exchange when the opportunity presents itself.

Jeff, sorry! It must have been lost in etherland. Would you mind resending?

There is an interesting article analyzing the way a Web 3.0 and .com company should perform and presenting ideas on what are the things EDoorways might want to consider.
The author tried to be objective (but understandably a bit subjective at the end) and constructive.
This article is the first article I’ve ever seen that provided detailed technical perspective into the future of EDoorways.
The author has been posting on at least google finance and influencing current and potential EDWY shareholders.
The article is at: http://jonestownblog.blogspot.com/search/label/EDWY
I understand that he only spends about several hours to analyse and write the article, and all his opinions were conclued from limited information sources (perhaps as EDoorways wanted, at least for now). Nevertheless it may take only a few minutes for someone inside EDoorways to decide whether it has value.
As a shareholder my pure intention is to help EDoorways succeed. The article may contain misleading or sensitive information that is not appropriate to be posted here. If that’s the case please let me know that at least the article is read by someone. Thanks.

Plus, the ‘contact’ on edoorways (where you leave your name, email, and comment) does not work. Perhaps either fix it or just remove it? The error information leads you back to comment again…

Jeff,
We will fix the non-active link. Thank you.
July 4, 2009 at 9:06 pm |
Mike, we appreciate your observations. Your suggestions are duly noted.
July 5, 2009 at 12:41 am |
Hi Jeff! Thanks for passing the link to us. Several shareholders have done the same. Unfortunately, what you’re witnessing is the worst part of being a public company.
Credible technical blog posters always post their own name, as they’re eager to garner the credit for their wisdom. This guy chooses to remain anonymous, which means that it’s a virtual lock that he’s either a paid harasser hired by one or more shorters, or he’s a shorter himself. The disclaimer at the front of the site is a dead giveaway.
Unfortunately, this is a common tactic as stocks like ours start to make their move. That’s the last (and I mean, LAST) thing that a shorter wants to see! They try to discredit the company, usually through lies and innuendo.
Regarding his observations, there’s nothing he mentions that has not been covered on the blog or during our calls. It appears he simply looked at the first page of our corporate website to draw his “conclusions”.
Jeff, get ready, because you’re going to see a lot more of this kind of stuff as we move upward! The shorters will continue to try to turn the heat up until we eventually break them.
Thanks, Jeff, for being a loyal shareholder!

Thanks for the swift reply.
I haven’t got a chance to listen to the conference call lately and I plan to do it sometime this week.
And I hope my posting here serves as a example of one of the strategies shorters take to influence the stock. At the same time, I appreciate the clarification given by EDoorways.
July 6, 2009 at 7:21 pm |
I am confused after the conference call, hopefully you can clarify.
It soulds to me like the soft launch is going to be made initially to focus groups. Is that right? If it is, how long will the “soft launch” take in days?
Also, it sounds like the rollout is going to be of a web 2.0 platform with the web 3.0 finctionality added at some undetermined future date. Is that correct? If so what is the approximate date (or estimated lapsed days) for the addition of that functionality?
Finally, how much time (approximately) will lapse between the soft launch and the final launch date? Along the same line, how much time (again, approximately) will lapse between the release of additional doorways?
Thanks
July 7, 2009 at 2:07 pm |
I am still wondering what happened in May. You mentioned something about a merger?
July 8, 2009 at 6:13 pm |
Bev, we’re not sure what you’re referring to. Sorry!
July 8, 2009 at 6:19 pm |
Hi Rick. There are several purposes for a “soft launch”. The first is to confirm that the baseline design and functionality are correct. Focus groups, along with other market assessment strategies, are used to aid in this determination. In addition, we intend to make the soft launch version of SOLVE available to possible capital sources, technical blogs and magazines, possible coventure partners, and other entities in instances where we believe that such disclosure would be beneficial.
The decision to trigger a “hard launch” can be made at any time, depending on what we experience. In a perfect world, we’ve designed SOLVE in the exact form that everyone likes and will use. However, it’s usually the case that there are adjustments and improvements that are involved. These may take a few days or longer, depending on what we find.
The Web 3.0 component will be added to each doorway when 1) the underlying Web 1.0 and 2.0 functionality is stable and functioning properly, and 2)the Web 3.0 components are developed. Our goal is to introduce initial Web 3.0 functions as soon as possible. When that will happen depends onthe two aspects above.
As we mentioned, there is a second doorway that we are engaged in now called “LEARN.” More details are forthcoming.
