Volume has been low anyway, and what you are thinking of as news, in my opinion, is not from sources to which most investors have routine access, or even care about.

Look at how few people are on this board, or instance. Most of what we learn here does not come from press releases or coverage by mining stock analysts/newsletter writers.

I think we will continue seeing weak volume until there are both good press releases and analyst/newsetter writer converage (the reasonably unbiased kind). Meanwhile, only us who follow this story on a daily basis are around to watch Agoracom and/or Facebook.

Just my humble opinion...
