Well it makes you wonder....They put $55 million into Xoom, where did it go?? Imagine what I could do with that much.

Remember when.....

("NBC's $55 million investment demonstrates our increased commitment to Xoom.com and NBCi,")

Wonderful, they are teaching people how to spam...

Our first-hand experience has taught us which strategies and techniques work, and which do not. And we'd be happy to share what we've learned with you.)

Ouch! 95% drop in stock. From $106 to only $5. That will leave a mark.

Oh I know where that $55 million went to, they turned around and invested $70 mill into Telocity. What a wonder.

NBCi should use some of their money, what they have left, to buy themselves a clue!
