I Advice - Irrational Exuberance of the Dot Com Days Discussed
As a writer and software developer, I am always on the lookout for tools that make my job easier. You would be amazed at the amount of non-writing tasks are associated with being a writer. Keeping track of contacts within the industry is one task. Another is shopping for new markets to sell my articles and book ideas into. I also have to track how much I spend for paper, postage, supplies, computer equipment, and cost of travel for meetings, conferences, etc. Then there's the tracking of assignments, deadlines, and submissions. And in those few moments when I get to be creative, I jot down my ideas for new articles, stories, and books. Somehow, I actually find time for doing the writing.With so much to keep track of, I knew that I needed some way of keeping track of everything. At first I tried a combination of spreadsheets, contact managers, accounting software, and lots of colored sti

Businesses are starting to look closely at the long-term benefits from pay per click advertising. Pay per click search engines are primarily used for sales in the now time frame, but they are also being used to build a business identity that their customers will remember. This form of brand awareness can be applied to a company of any size, large or small.If you take a look at a traditional magazine or newspaper ad, the companies are using that advertising to increase their brand awareness. The purpose of the ad is to direct the customer to their products or services but there is no chance to make a sale immediately. They are referred to a website or a retailer.When search engine advertising, as potential customers search the web looking for a product or service and see the same site come up in their searches time and time again it begins to create that same brand awareness for t
Many have said including recently an employee for Deloitte that; “Everyone loves the free market until the following things happen: One: They find they can't compete because of their own miscalculations and get jealous. Two: The questionable investment endeavors they participated in go from hot to not.”
Indeed this is hard to debate, as we have seen many examples of this and we see this in many other aspects of life; Indeed, as long as you are winning everyone loves you and those who cannot compete honestly look for ways to cheat. This is why we have referees in Sports.
Many a regulator or detractor of free markets will point out one or two folks which have fraudulently used the free market to defraud investors and they will point out those as an example of the need for over regulation. Out employee for Deloitte also has words to say on this; “Every one loved the entrepreneurial spirit and the Greenspanian "Irrational Exuberance," - which is what it was - until people such as Frank Quattrone got exposed for what they really were: boosters, prospectors, speculators.”

What do TiVo®, XM Radio®, and the Do-Not-Call List have in common? They represent the collective voice of the prospective saying, “leave me alone; do not annoy me with commercials and other direct solicitations for products and services.”According to research we conducted in our white paper entitled, Effectively Using Cross-Selling and Up-Selling to Increase Revenue AND Customer Service :• Over 70% of Personal Video Recorder (PVR) users skip through television commercials (and Yankee Group estimates that fully half of US households will have this technology in four years!

(2)• Over 100 million people have signed up for the Do-Not-Call list, with severe penalties to companies violating the law (in December, 2005, DIRECTV was slapped with a $5.3 MILLION pe

Last month, we told you about “pay for play,” a practice in which news organizations charge sources to appear on their programs. In other words, if you ante up enough cash, these “news” programs will air a puff piece about your company or organization.But in most cases, these pay for play outfits don’t deliver what they promise. Not only don’t they stand behind their “guarantees” of audience numbers, but the public regards their alleged reporting with skepticism. The public is smart enough to recognize the difference between a news segment and advertising.Shortly after sending out our article on pay for play last month, PR Week Magazine reported a story on its front page about yet another scheme.Terry Bradshaw, the former Pittsburgh Steelers hero, is hosting a television program called “The Winners Circle.” The program honors companies for their “forward thinking and consi

Owning a safe and placing it on some busy corridor with the door wide open is something that only a mad man would do. Or is it? In actual fact if you are reading this and you do not have adequate spyware protection, that is exactly what you have done to yourself. Let the importance of having spyware protection sink deep into your mind from this simple analogy so that you fully grasp the dangers explained in a simple non-technical way.What sort of things would you ordinarily keep in a safe, which only you can open and have access to?Deeds, contracts, documents and cash are some of the stuff that you would find in a typical safe. Maybe even a gun if you own one. In fact valuables would be the word to describe them. Now you would never dream of leaving your safe door wide open so that anybody had access to it, would you?Yet those who have no spyware protection, or do not have
When a regulator who is wet behind the ears, a graduating college student brainwashed in liberal academia or a man who makes his money in accounting and overseeing such industries takes this viewpoint in their infinite wisdom and perception, they so often fail to realize what commerce is. Free enterprise is without unnecessary barriers to trade, that regulators promote, lawyers make money on and regulators are employed to oversee. However it is true we did see some major hype going on during the dot com days. Lets take a look at the WebVan example, a billion dollars lost. Who was running the company? The former CEO of Arthur Anderson, yes an accounting firm; it is interesting that behind every single major fraud there is a bean counter. Who is regulating the regulators, lawyers and bean counters who have hijacked free enterprise? In the WebVan example one of their VC supporters funded a PR firm, which hyped WebVan, convenient indeed? So yes, one must agree that things did get a little over blown. But also the FTC went after every .DotCom they could find starting investigations. They had clipboards hanging on the doorways of the FTC offices with pages and pages of .Dotcom targets. How do I know? I saw them. Same with the SEC, because the complainers, the old Dow Stocks and Companies, were not getting the support from short term investors in their stocks, so they used the government to attack the .Dotcoms.
Immediately we had all the so called .DotCom rule breakers getting pummeled by t
