  • Thought For The Day: Crisis and opportunity are the same thing.
  • Google: "Complete Privacy Does Not Exist" "Arguing that technology has ensured that "complete privacy does not exist," Google contends that a Pennsylvania family has no legal grounds to sue the search giant for publishing photos of their home on its popular "Street View" mapping feature."

  • Forrester Buys JupiterResearch For $23 Million Consolidation in the research and strategy market simply makes room for more players. Not all markets can consolidate.
  • In Defence of Salesmen, Part 2 "A salesman is someone who goes out among strangers and tries to get them to do what he wants. And if you’re going to do that, you can’t be afraid of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You have to see them as facts, not threats. They’re neutral facts you have to work with, not something you have to run from." I love watching the Animal find and perfect his voice.
  • Newspapers Think Locally for Online Ads … Sales Efforts Increase, Gee, Beavis… what if we tried to sell advertising to our local customers? "Over the past two years, the number of local salespeople peddling online ads for newspapers has ballooned to 15,500 from 5,900, according to estimates from media-research firm Borrell Associates. Traditional media companies have believed strongly that they have an edge over Internet companies because they are based in the communities they serve. But whatever edge may have existed appears to have evaporated. Newspapers now control only 27.4% of the local online ad market, down from a 35.9% share in 2006, according to Borrell."
