Refer to the requirements of the Form S-I.
Comment noted and appropriate change made.
3.Onthe registration statement cover page, Peter Hodyno is identified as the company's chief executive officer and president. However, in the prospectus, Lawson M. Kerster is identified as holding those positions. He also signs the re/,>1stration statement in those capacities. Please rectify this discrepancy.
Appropriate changes made.
Prospectus Cover Page
4. The heading to the cover page indicates that you are registering 5 million shares of common stock although it appears from other disclosure in the filing that you are, in fact, registering 5.1 million shares. Please revise.
This change has been effected.
Prospectus Summary
5. You indicate in this section that it is your intention to create a web portal "to serve as an all inclusive information provider for anyone worldwide who is looking to buy, sell or lease environmentally friendly' green' products and services." However, in describing your business in the business section of your prospectus, you appear to emphasize plans to develop an online advertising platform for hosting video content. In addition, we note references in several areas of the prospectus to an intention to operate "as a brokerage/clearing house for oil and gas leases and royalty interests." Please revise the disclosure in your summary and throughout the remainder of your prospectus to provide a complete and consistent description of your business.
Our apologies. A very rough first draft was filed in error. This contained many typos and uncorrected areas. We believe we have dealt with these points throughout the document.
6. You indicate that you are a development stage company that has not yet commenced operations other than initial corporate formation and capitalization, the building of a central website and the acquisition of your domain names and the development of your business plan.Inyour Business discussion, you state that your website is under development and you intend to hire an outside consultant to develop your website. Please revise the disclosures in the forepart of your document to clearly indicate the current stage of development for your website.
We note your comment. We were led to believe that the people who were to construct our website would commence their activities immediately. We have engaged other people to expediter the construction of our main website and linking of other domain names.
7. You indicate that the 5.1 million shares that you are registering for resale represent 50% of your 15.1 million shares of common stock currently outstanding. Please verify your calculations or revise your disclosures accordingly.
These disclosures have been revised.

8. Since you do not provide financial information for the year ended May 31,2009,please remove the reference to 2009 from this section.
This reference has been removed.
Risk Factors
"We have a limited operating history ... "
9. Please revise the first sentence of this risk factor to indicate that you have realized no revenue from operations.
Revisions have been made as suggested
"Any change to government regulation/administrative practices ... "
10. Generic risks that describe circumstances that could apply equally to other businesses should not be included in your risk factor disclosure. Please revise this risk factor to state specific material risks to your company or to the purchasers in this offering. In this regard, we note your disclosure in your business discussion that you may be affected by government regulations relating to the Internet and/or data privacy.
We have eliminated this risk factor from our filing. Upon consulting counsel, we have come to the conclusion that any changes made or contemplated by government (including data privacy and other issues)would not be aimed at our industry specifically but to all concerns commercial or non-profit that do any business whatsoever on the internet. The result is another general risk factor that you have indicated should not be included.
"Our business may be affected by factors outside of our control."
11. This risk factor merely refers to other possible risks. Please remove it and address each material risk in a separate risk factor. In this regard, we note that the risks of increased competition and government regulation are separately addressed.
We note your comment and have eliminated this risk factor completely. We have attempted to expand other factors.
"If we are unable to retain the services of Mr. Schlosser and/or Ms. Squire ... ,"
12. The caption to this risk factor refers to Mr. Schlosser and Ms. Squire, but the risk factor concerns Mr. Kerster and Ms. Hodyno. Also, the caption discusses the need to recruit qualified personnel in the oil and gas industry, although it does not appear that you intend to operate in this industry. Please revise.
We have made the appropriate changes.
"Efforts to comply with recently enacted changes in securities laws .. "
13. Please revise this risk factor to eliminate the reference to Form10-KSB. Also, remove the statement indicating that you will become subject to Section 404 of the SarbanesOxley Act at the end of 2007.
These edits have been made to comply with your comment.
