I've been watching California for some time and have a special interest in what happens with business and internet there. Going from 6 million to 25 in annual online revenue speaks for itself. This is a tired cliche by now, but everything continues to migrate to the internet. The 25 million in quoted revenue (while impressive) will be considered modest in several years. Wait till local hits its stride and internet media/TV fully move to every electronic device in your car/home/phone. LATimes had better position themselves to play the internet. Literally, it's either that or die. Hard copy newspapers are yesterday's 8-track. This is an incredible ad trend.

You do a great job of pushing the GEO movement and I have bought several GEO's especially dealing with products and services that are not likely to be provided outside of a specific locale. I mean who's going to hire a contractor from Timbuktu to do work in L.A., or order a birthday cake from a Bangkok bakery when the party's in Pennsylvania. Keep up the good work. I agree, Steve.

Where do you think they will be in another 3 years, 50 Million? Wow,

From 6 million to 25 million in 3 years, and businesses are now just realizing that they need to advertise locally online and are now putting aside an ad budget for this.
