Heidi, I'm still waiting to learn how much money gbdi has in the bank and when will they report their losses.It seems that with all the positive news the price keeps going lower;how much lower can the price go.I'm resigned to losing my 300 shares @ 6.5,meaning i will go all the way at this point.It would be nice if yahoo would buy them.Trade was made 3/29/99 and no earnings report since then;are they obligated according to law to issue some kind of report?Maybe RD knows about that would appreciate an answer.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES For the Internet User GBID.com users will only receive commercially related information on the companies that are in, or related to the industry they are researching and in the specific location they want to find it in. In addition, the Corporate Overview is fully indexed meaning that each word in the database is keyword searchable. The target market for internet users is not the individuals who are looking for general information but rather, the individuals who are looking to conduct business with companies. The target market for advertisers is the smaller, locally based company that has seldom been approached to advertise on the Internet. For the Global Business Community GBID.com will realize the enormously profitable opportunity offered in organizing and advertising to the global business community by: · Offering the two page Corporate Overview (Company Profile and Product & Services Pages) · Offering superior next generation business search capabilities · Providing the most comprehensive list of businesses worldwide · Providing much needed support and service to business owners The GBID.com business directory is dedicated to helping businesses market them domestically and globally. Information can be found, based on industry category or geographical location in addition to being narrowed by typing in a keyword. The multi-dimensional keyword search allows a user to simultaneously search business information, including Company Overviews and the websites that have been indexed by GBID.com. GBID.com will make the task of finding businesses, competitors, clients, and partners, easier, resulting in increased profitability for buyers and sellers. GBID.com will develop the largest free-access registered database of any search service on the World Wide Web. This database underlies the strategic framework guiding our information capture, data management and marketing options. GBID.com will have a level of product and service diversification unlike many directories or search engines. At present it has identified a total of 4 different sources of revenue from products and services and that are detailed below: Corporate Overview - The Corporate Overview is a two page information sheet, divided into Company Profile and Product and Services.

In addition these companies will be able to have these documents translated into other languages. Web hosting, Design and E-commerce and Value Added Features - The GBID Sales force will offer listed companies the option to have GBID.com design and host their sites, as well as provide an e-commerce back end software solution for their company web-site. These options have the added benefit of having the hosted businesses gain priority within the GBID.com search index. Advertising Alternatives - GBID.com will initially offer three different advertising options (Banners, Classified and Feature Vendor Ads). Advertising revenue is a recurring source of revenue and is projected to account for approximately 3 % of GBID.com's total revenue over the next 36 months. Content Indexing - For customers who already have a website hosted elsewhere, the content in their website can be fully indexed and searched within the GBID.com business search. This means that users can find a business by entering a keyword that appears in a business's website or corporate profile, such a brand name(s), product name(s) and/or service(s) regardless of where it is hosted and as long as those businesses have contracted with GBID.com.

Anyone interested in attending meetings, please call Dawn Van Zant toll free at 888-889-9214. Visit our web site at www.aiminvestor.com LONDON (CNNfn) – August 16, 1999 British Telecommunications acquired U.S. publisher Yellow Book USA Thursday for $685 million in a deal that boosts its online directory business. BT plans to fold the New York-based firm into its existing U.K.-based BT Yellow Pages publishing operation. Yellow Book USA is the largest independent U.S. phone directory publisher with a portfolio of 300 directories with a circulation of 19 million. Most of the directories distributed in the U.S. are published by the regional Bell telephone companies. The company has also extended its yellowbook.com online operation, which BT plans to combine with its own Yellow Pages Net operation to create what it describes as a "global platform". BT shares were down 1 percent at 993 pence in a weak London market.

Jack, I have no control how a company manages their business or their finances. Nine times out of ten that has no reflection in what a stock price is doing now. I am no longer working directly for the company; so I can not speak on behalf of the company. Heidi is the one working for the company. If she can not or does not give you the response you are looking for, then please feel free to contact me and I will get you in direct contact with the company. The only thing I know about the company as of today is what is being posted out on the threads. Nothing more, nothing less. Also, if one believes in the company and likes the story; like I have said and told you before; average down or cut your losses. A prime example of a stock that is about to get ready to take off is PCBM. I got a lot of people in that stock above .40. They are now at break even and it is suppose to have some major news out next week. PCBM went all the way down to .10 a couple of weeks ago. Now, show me the post where I gave you hell about these Canadian, Vancouver companies.

Jack, here is the contact for GBDI. The Investor Relations Group Lisa Lindberg or Diane Greisel 1-212-736-2650 Revenues? They do have money in the bank, but nothing to speak of in large sums. They are generating revenue now and have started a telemarketing campaign to attract more web hosting and web designing. They are in the early stages of possibly inking a deal that could generate 2-3 million in revenue. No more details were discussed about it. New version is up and running and they have changed their URL to Bizfiles.com They are finding it to be catchier and easier to search for it with an easier name than Global Business Directory. No new shares have entered the market. They have completed their audit and will be filing to be fully reporting this week. It sounds to me they are progressing right along. Maybe not as fast as you and I would like, but it does look like things are coming together. 209.67.254.24 The URL name should be changed any day now is what I was told. You type in GBID.com and it takes you to this link. Cheers!

September 8, 1999 Global Business Information Directory, Inc. Releases Version 3 Of Site and New Web Address SEATTLE September 8, 1999 - Global Business Information Directory, Inc. ("Global") (OTCBB: GBDI) a global business directory providing business with an opportunity to market themselves worldwide on the Internet, today announced that it has released the third and most advanced version of its search directory, located at www.bizfiles.com. The introduction of Version 3.0 of Global's directory at www.bizfiles.com now provides full-text indexing of all or selected portions of business information in the directory. An enhanced interface allows for "any keywords" "all keywords" or exact phrase matching when searching the company name, company keywords or all company information. The search services have also been expanded to allow wider geographic searching for keywords within Business Categories while still providing lightening-fast search response times. This means that category searches can now be as broad as a global search or as narrow as a specific city within a State or Province. Category searching has also been expanded to allow full searching of the top-level business category. Also unique to bizfiles.com is its easy-to-use search and refinement interface that makes searching for a company simple. Release 3.0 also allows companies to add or modify their core business information for free. Most other directory services do not provide this kind of service and rely on the business owner to go to the directory's list providers to make changes. In addition, Global will begin to generate sales by offering the first of its Global ID(entity) FILES: the Products and Services ID FILE. Companies can now create, through a simple form interface, a Product and Services File, tailored to their industry sector. In just one click, potential customers will now be able to find the key business information they want from Global ID FILE subscribers. Unlike other directory advertising services, this new offering from Global allows the customer unlimited rights to modify their ID FILES, to add specials and change core information. All ID FILES are fully indexed into the bizfiles.com search engine and ID FILE subscribers are given priority ranking on search results, where the search terms match keywords within the company's basic or ID FILE information. Unlike other paid-for ranking services, bizfiles.com will ONLY return companies that match the search criteria given. Subsequent offerings of Global ID FILES will include the Corporate ID FILE. Along with the ID FILES, Global will also offer the service of full-text indexing of existing web-sites to businesses worldwide. "We are pleased to announce the release of this version to the Internet Business Community. The tools this version offers both the online company and the Internet user a very simple but effective way of both finding companies and for the companies themselves, the opportunity to be found," said Stephen Carmichael President and CEO of Global. "With the release we will see some dramatic results in how companies can market themselves internationally. Our desire is to ensure maximum exposure for all companies to new markets around the world." Global Business Information Directory, Inc is positioned as the first truly global geographic business-to-business directory on the Internet. Global differentiates itself from word based search engines by offering an industry and geographic based business directory through its Website www.gbid.com. Its current database of more than 17 million companies has positioned Global as one of the largest free business directories on the Internet. Global offers a full line of services including Website hosting, Website construction and e-commerce solutions. -END- For more information, please call Dawn Van Zant toll free at 888-889-9214 or visit our web site at www.aiminvestor.com

September 8, 1999 Global Business Information Directory, Inc. Tries for the 3rd time to get investors interested. HAMDEN, CT. (BALDINO.COM) September 8, 1999 - Global Business Information Directory, Inc. ("Global") (OTCBB: GBDI) a global business directory which appears to be no more than a glorified yellow pages directory, is now going by www.bizfiles.com. Now that it changed it's name, it will probably take 6 more news releases before anyone even pays attention to it. It is rumored that prospective investors want to see not only financials, but the company to be fully reporting before sinking one more dime into some other non-reporting ".com" company. As well as hire a real investor relations firm that does more than just post on internet message boards. A steady declining stock price over the past 4 or so months should be an indace as to where the share price is heading. Also, the "double talk" about a 300,000 share float makes no sense to investors. The float is the float.. and there is no reason to believe anyone is tightly holding. Most likely they have all dumped by now anyway In speculation, this stock could be a great buy when the ask reaches the .20 - .30 range.
