Scott Kettle, CEO of GAWK, noted, "GAWK continues to roll up new customers that are attracted to our innovative, secure suite of Cloud products with full product integration, which enables our customers to control their Internet authenticity and manage their cloud servers from a single location. GAWK's presence in 21 countries, and 31 major cities, with 16 cities in the U.S., further supports our long-range business plan to acquire data centers in Tier 2 cities, both locally and abroad, increasing our revenue and global reach." The Company posted the best quarter since its inception recently, reporting that revenue was up 952%.

Henry Clarke, CEO of WebRunners, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of GAWK stated, "Merchant.ly is another great client win for WebRunners.
