Focus stock: MIMV otc Mimvi, Inc.
We continue to anticipate/expect an upcoming pr/news release regarding MSFT expanding their relationship with MIMV.....AND we are actually considering adding to our MIMV position that we started last week @ .38.
A colleague of ours commenting today: Once they get on the Azure platform we expect to get pretty strong endorsement by MFST for MIMV…
Ever since MSFT deal back in Sept, we have grown increasing intrigued, not to mention increasing smarter with what's going on in the mobile app search engine sector.
...Currently want to re-examine the details from a earlier NBT report on them......Although biased, this highly informative report really sheds good light on the search engine situation going on with the giants and how MMV stands to gain.....Prior to, we didn't have much of a clue on on the evolving 'Mobile App' integration....
Mimvi Update: To Microsoft And Beyond!
By Tobin Smith |
While the exact terms of the deal won’t be disclosed until 8k’s are filed on the contract, the big idea here is that Mimvi will license its search engine tech to MSFT and will develop tools for searching for mobile apps and data stored on the cloud utilizing Microsoft's Windows Azure platform.
It is also clear that Mimvi will closely work with Microsoft's Bing team to combine mobile app search with general web search. The HOLY GRAIL for users is a one-stop shop for all searches where mobile app search results are offered next to general web search results.
Windows 8 now promises to make it easy for developers to build mobile apps that run on the desktop. This partnership with Mimvi should allow Microsoft to enable users to easily find mobile apps that run on the desktop too… a big deal for PC/Laptop centric Microsoft.
As noted in a good Seeking Alpha post, “perhaps most interestingly, the relationship should give Microsoft the technical means to enhance its relationships with both Yahoo (YHOO) and Facebook (FB). Mimvi's mobile search technology should greatly improve the integration between search and social that the relationship between Microsoft and Facebook is founded upon.”
Agreed…and ALL this at a time when Google is hankering to replace Bing on Yahoo…hmmm. Once again Google’s Chairman Eric Schmidt’s investment in Quixey is a strategic no-no…ANY hint of Google makes Quixey TOXIC to Microsoft/Amazon/Apple/Facebook…Mimvi is the only non-toxic mobile app search technology left.
Net-net
Microsoft is unlikely to have made this investment without having a good, long look under the hood of Mimvi's technology and the likelihood that Mimvi is acquired by Microsoft or another suitor is an order of magnitude greater with this deal.
We will get the WHOLE story from Kasian Franks in an interview we will publish next week.
Again…our target for MIMV is now $2 for a strategic take out by Microsoft/Amazon/Samsung or Facebook. Mimvi is the last mobile search engine technology company standing in bitter zero-sum battle of Consumer Technology Giants:
Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/Samsung/Facebook to get mobile app search right.
Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/Samsung/Facebook to get mobile app search right.
Remember EVERYTHING that is media is going to be an “app”—TV shows, movies, videos, songs, articles, magazines, books etc. The REAL game at play here is NOT finding the next rocket dodging game to play---it’s to be able to find the exact right media app on whatever screen you are on in real-time. THAT is the Mimvi solution…that is where the real value is.
Stay long…buy the retracement IF we get one.

A sea-change has occurred for investors and technology companies relating to a major shift from desktop computing to mobile computing. Mobile apps, mobile search, mobile ads, mobile transactions and mobile hardware are changing the investing criteria for everyone today. Identifying ground-floor opportunities in the form of new stocks that are sitting on the launch pad ready for takeoff is of utmost importance for maximizing gains. Lets review five companies set to launch as great investment vehicles for the short and long term.
Excerpt from article below as it related to MIMV:
Mimvi (MIMV.OB) - Mimvi, Inc. is a new kind of mobile app search, content and product discovery company designed for Windows 8, Apple's iOS and Google's (GOOG) Android platform. Attached to Mimvi is one of the largest rocket boosters a company can have as it comes in the form of attracting the attention of Microsoft, among others, along with a recent partnership with Microsoft including investment. I had a chance to speak to some of the management team at Mimvi about their plans with Microsoft's new cloud, mobile and search initiatives, which are large and aggressive. These initiatives include establishing what they are calling a "basecamp" on the Windows Azure Cloud platform to service internal Microsoft groups and other Microsoft partners. Some of the other initiatives include combining Mimvi's mobile app search results with Bing search results. This is significant as Microsoft's Bing also powers Yahoo and Facebook. Mimvi will also be working closely with Microsoft's Windows 8 mobile engineers to develop several search, discovery, recommendation and social related mobile apps for Surface tablets. There is a large hidden opportunity here as Microsoft plans to enable its Windows 8 mobile apps to also run on the 400 million desktops and tablets that Microsoft controls around the world. A consumer audience like this is bigger than Apple and Google combined. With the support of several internal groups in Microsoft, the largest software company in the world, and having the inside track and access to Microsoft's vast resources and partners, the revenue, distribution and marketing opportunities are fast-tracked for Mimvi and are just about infinite. Mimvi is working on other large partnerships as well. These rocket launchers attached to Mimvi are certainly aimed toward an uplisting to NASDAQ, and similar to Millenial Media, a potential target for acquisition by multiple players, making Mimvi an early target for early investors.
