Steve and Eric were on the morning meeting today. Lots of talks about 3rd party solutions and some pros and cons there. One, they help bring in revenue and traffic. On the other hand, we've gotten some black eyes from allowing them to say that they integrate with us (especially if it is only half baked). I can't really control that in some ways. Also, we've been beat up by promises made to our clients that we have no knowledge of. All of those things have beaten us up a bit.

Part of us wants to work on our own stuff and the other part of us really wants to help serve these other outside parties. They do bring a piece of the puzzle.
