    Name: Gary Valinoti
    Title: President & Chief Executive Officer<PAGE>

                                                                   Exhibit 10.31

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

         This Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") is made by and between JAG
Media Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") on the one hand, and Walsh Organization,
Inc. ("Walsh") on the other, with respect to the following:

         1.       Obligations of Walsh: Walsh shall assist the Company with
respect to its claims against various brokerage houses, arising out of the
recapitalization of the Company's stock, effective April 8, 2002 (the
"Recapitalization Claims"). It is currently anticipated that the Company will
retain the law firm of O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle (the "Attorneys") as its legal
representation on the Recapitalization Claims. Walsh shall provide strategic,
non-legal consulting to assist the company and the Attorneys to facilitate
compliance among all brokerage houses with respect to any Recapitalization
Claims asserted by the Company to comply with the terms of the recapitalization
plan of Jagnotes.com, Inc. to Jag Media Holdings, Inc., including the settlement
of any potential shareholder imbalances or transactions that need to be settled
for compliance with the recapitalization. Walsh has not been requested to, nor
shall he provide any legal advice or representation to the Company, but rather
shall assist the Company and its Attorneys in non-legal capacity, as and when
requested.

         2.       Time/Loyalty Commitments: Walsh agrees to devote the necessary
amount of time that is required to perform the services described in Section 1
above. Walsh shall decide the hours and days for the performance of said
services as Walsh, in Walsh's sole discretion, sees fit. Walsh may represent,
perform services for and be employed by such additional clients, persons or
companies unrelated to the Company. However, Walsh agrees that it will not
engage in any

                                       1
<PAGE>

activity competitive with or adverse to the Company's business interests,
whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee or shareholder
of any other corporation, or a trustee or fiduciary or any other representative
of any other entity, and shall, at the Company's written request, desist from
such activity.

         3.       Compensation to Walsh: In lieu of hourly monetary
compensation, Walsh agrees to accept from the Company, and the Company agrees to
pay to Walsh a sum equal to five per cent (5%) of any settlement of or judgment
from the Recapitalization Claims, due within 48 hours after the Company's
receipt of any funds therefrom. The amount from which Walsh's 5% fee is computed
shall be the same amount from which the Attorney's contingency fee is computed.
Should there be a non-monetary component to any resolution of the
Recapitalization Claims, then Walsh shall be paid the cash value of said
component when realized by the Company. The cash value of the non-monetary
component, if any, shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company
and Walsh. If the parties cannot agree on a figure, then the value of the
non-monetary component shall be the same as that determined by application of
the Company's fee agreement with its Attorneys. In furtherance of this Section,
and notwithstanding any confidentiality provision to the contrary, the Company
shall deliver to Walsh a copy of any and all documents that comprise a
settlement of any of the Company's Recapitalization Claims, within 24 hours
after any settlement agreement is executed.

         4.       Independent Contractor: The services to be provided by Walsh
as set forth herein shall be as an independent contractor, and not as an
employee. Accordingly, neither state nor federal income tax nor payroll taxes of
any kind shall be withheld or paid by Company on behalf of Walsh.

                                       2

         5.       Termination: The Company may terminate this Agreement at any
time, with our without cause, by delivering written notice thereof as provided
in Section 7 of this Agreement. Otherwise, the Agreement shall remain in effect
until the Reorganization Claims are resolved or abandoned, at which time this
Agreement shall terminate. Notwithstanding the Company's right to terminate this
Agreement, its obligation to compensate Walsh as provided in Section 3 of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unless Walsh is in breach of
his obligations as set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Agreement, in which case
the Company shall give Walsh written notice of any alleged breach and 30 days in
which to cure the breach. If, after the 30-day cure period expires, Walsh
remains in breach of Sections 1 or 2 of this Agreement, then this Agreement may
be terminated by the Company without any further obligation to Walsh, by notice
of termination in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.

         6.       Additional Consulting Agreements: The Company and Walsh
anticipate the execution of a separate consulting agreement for services to be
performed by Walsh (or by a related entity) in addition to those called for
herein (and similar to the services called for under the Business Development
Agreement between Jagnotes.com, Inc. and Geoffrey Walsh dated October 1, 2001).
Notwithstanding any provision in such a future consulting agreement to the
contrary (e.g., an integration clause), Walsh and the Company agree that any
such consulting agreement is not intended to supercede any of the provisions
herein, unless that agreement expressly so provides.

         7.       Notices: Any and all notices or demands shall be in writing.
They shall be served either personally or by certified mail, and by fax. If
served personally, service shall be conclusively deemed made at the time of
service. If served by certified mail, service shall be

                                       3
<PAGE>

conclusively deemed made 48 hours after the deposit thereof in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom such notice or demand is
to be given, as hereinafter provided. All notices to the Company shall be sent
to JAG Media Holdings, Inc., c/o Gary Valinotti, 6865 S.W. 18th Street, Suite
B13, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, fax: 732-219-9173. All notices to Walsh shall be
sent to Walsh Organization, Inc., c/o Geoff Walsh, 1004 Creek Crossing, Coppell,
TX 75019, fax: 972-402-0897, with a copy to Brian M. Grossman, Esq., 8306
Wilshire Boulevard, No. 144, Beverly Hills, CA 90211, fax: 323-935-3015.

         8.       Attorneys' Fees: In the event that any action is brought by
any party to this Agreement as a result of the breach or default hereunder of
the other party or to enforce the terms or provisions of this Agreement, a court
or arbitrator shall make a determination as to the prevailing party and award
the prevailing party a reasonable sum as costs and attorneys' fees.

         9.       Miscellaneous: The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors,
assigns, heirs, and representatives of the parties hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement contained shall be construed as to require the commission of any act
contrary to law and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this
Agreement and any present or future statute, law, ordinance, or regulation
contrary to which the parties have no legal right to contract, the latter shall
prevail, but in such event the provisions of this Agreement affected shall be
curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within the
requirement of the law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas, which is the state in which Walsh's services are to
be performed. No waiver of any of the provision of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of

                                       4
<PAGE>

any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a
continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the
party making the waiver.

         10.      Entire Agreement: This Agreement contains the entire Agreement
of the parties hereto, and supersedes all other Agreements and understandings,
whether written or oral, covering the subject matter hereof. No amendment or
variation of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing
and signed by the Company and Walsh.
