Paul, EWBX (earthweb) is more or less a job site if you look where their revenue is coming from. I'm not too bullish on them. I kind of like RWAV (Roguewave). Their new CEO seems to know what he is doing. Their stock price is way down. And I have a feeling that their next quarter will be half decent.
