After listening to Patrick Bultema speak at the AGM about the customer care industry and how many individuals worked within this sector......."In the US alone, there are 5 million people sitting in the seats providing customer care"......... it caused me to come back to reconsider something that had been suggested here, on this forum, about the possibility of a competitor orchestrating, at least a portion, of the continual barage of 24/7 bashing and attacks witnessed here on the INT forum. I realized some of the bashers claim to be here for pure amusement purposes only but nobody and I mean, nobody, devotes this much time away from their normal life and job (if they have one) to sit in front of a computer screen and attack a company, its management and its products thousands of times with a half year time span, without an agenda.
Everyone on this board has the luxury of being anonymous and can paint whatever picture of themselves they so choose; some making it very easy to see their character and moral value and others requiring us to dig deeper in their history to draw our conclusions from.
It's funny how it was not until Patrick Bultema starting stepping out in the limelight, that a few lowlifes on this board began targeting his credentials and aspirations.
After reviewing what there is to be found on Patrick's history, for both business savvy and character, something tells me that an individual of this caliber could most likely pick and choose their opportunites afforded them in this stage of their life now and for some reason, they've chosen to be President of Ortsbo ..........why?
When it comes to Patrick Bultema ......."He has more than 30 years experience in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) industry", has written many books and is well recognized in the tech industry.
He stated at the AGM that Ortsbo is monetizing the business in three lines: Global Commercial Communications; Gamification; and Cross-Language Social Networks.
"Over the last nine months, the Ortsbo new team has been very heads down. Over the next number of weeks,” continues Bultema, “we will provide a series of releases to further unpack our strategy and progress. We will provide more detail on each of the lines as we launch products, but always with strategic partners, customers, and revenue models. So stay tuned.”
He continues to say..........
"Over most of the past year, Ortsbo has focused its primary efforts on commercialization programs, developing new and proprietary applications for real time language services in the business arena and concentrating its efforts on developing initial test environments for Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders in niche, high value revenue markets. Ortsbo expects to announce a series of additional patent filings, new commercial contracts and the roll out of its strategic plan before the calendar year end allowing it to position itself as an independent enterprise in early to mid 2013.
So then, let's look a tad deeper into who is working with Patrick to build Ortsbo into a gamechanger in the three divisions he stated they were targeting.
Leemon Baird...........
Leemon Baird, Senior Director of Research and Advanced Technology. Most recently Baird was co- founder and CTO of BlueWave Security, and Senior Researcher at the Academy Center for Cyberspace Research at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Previously he was co-founder and CTO at Trio Security, and Director of Security Engineering at Symbol Technologies (Motorola) and a professor of computer science at the US Air Force Academy. Leemon holds a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University.
Now, please go take a look at the publications of this individual and ask yourself whose expertise and authority on the topic of translations and algorithms holds more weight, Leemon Bairds or the anonymous posters on this board.

Mance Harmon.............
.
Mance Harmon, who becomes Vice President of Technology and Products. Harmon has a track record in innovative R&D and strategy formation, with experience in cloud operations, Web applications, mobile apps and platforms, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Harmon has been the founder/CEO of two successful technology companies, BlueWave Security and Trio Security, and has held senior technology leadership positions as Symbol Technologies (Motorola) and the Missile Defense Agency. Harmon also served as an instructor of computer science at the U.S. Air force Academy and as a research scientist in machine learning at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Mance holds a Master’s Degree from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst).
Again, I strongly suggest you go have a look at the publications written by Mr. Mance Harmon.

I somehow doubt that individuals like Patrick Bultema, Mance Harmon or Leemon Baird would, who aspire themselves to knowledge, learning, business and helping others, would ever find themselves sitting in front of a computer to disrespect and ridicule other individuals.........do you? and if not......why? What does that really say about those who choose to?
It's been a shi tty ride this past year and more than a few got tossed out of the boat but then there's been many others who hung on and have taken advantage of the opportunities afforded them today and I'm one of them but that's only because 90% of my DD takes place outside this forum and because when individuals such as Mr. Bultema provide me with the following statement, I put far more value on their words than on the anonymous posters here with multiple personalities.
"You will see me much more active communicating with all of you and with the market as you start to see the fruits of the labor of kind of the three stages we have been in.
The initial stage of focus, following what was the opportunity for Ortsbo, aligning and tuning the technology over the summer and now we are in the process of rolling that out into customer wins and successions that we will be getting news on over the next weeks."
Outside of now seeing the fruits of the labor these individuals have been working on, the only other thing that would provide me with pure joy and celebration, would be if those shorting this stock once again, would please increase their position and not cover in time.
