Our traffic is growing and our user engagement stats are turning out to be better than expected. The funding will help us expand our coverage (still US) into more attractions/things to do, alternative lodging types, beaches, and restaurants. I know the original $4 mm seems like a lot of money but we're cognizant of the fact that the money raising window may not always be open given the economic situation, and we feel that on this round we can reach cashflow breakeven, and also consider strategic options like acquiring other Websites that might be looking for an exit in these difficult times. Hope you connect with Yen or Darlene. Or you can contact me too. Best,<BR/>ElliottElliott Nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539901044806241839noreply@blogger.com
