Because I allow myself to be influenced by the incessant spewage of the world…
Some thoughts from The Master Key System;
“Unless you do this, you had better not start at all, because modern psychology tells us that when we start something and do not complete it, or make a resolution and do not keep it, we […]
Yeah, okay, we’re lost… officially.
From The New York Times;
He Wrote 200,000 Books (but Computers Did Some of the Work)
“It’s not easy to write a book. First you have to pick a title. And then there is the table of contents. If you want the book to be categorized, either by a bookseller or a library, […]
Perhaps that title might be a bit misleading - or - not - this pertains specifically to the Amazon/Booksurge chaos but can be applied throughout all of life…
Angela Hoy has published comments in response to her follow-up article about the Amazon “policy” changes. (Has anyone noticed all these policy changes by the hot shots large, […]
In the natural course of human events…
You anger your customers long enough and loud enough and they will rebel! Competition that you never heard of will also spring up out of nowhere. No one is immune to the forces of folks who want a different way to live and are willing to go to whatever […]
They set it up for what may eventually be revealed as a totally self-centered corporate profit generating attitude but it doesn’t mean that you are required to react with a negative attitude towards their policies!
What they said;
Safe Payments Requirements
Last January, Bill announced that all new sellers would be required to offer PayPal or a merchant […]
It no doubt was in the works ahead of the recent flap over Amazon and POD, but the flap raises the awareness of what could be construed as competition. And - why not? Competition is good. (If it really exists).

It has taken me some time to return to this. Apologies to A. Rooney…
It’s been quite a while since my college days :)
To refresh - QuadrantOne, “an online advertising network … offering advertisers the means to book national campaigns through one portal, that will have a reach of as many as 50 million people a […]
Might I suggest stepping back for just a moment or two and giving Amazon’s open letter some consideration…
They are trying to account for their actions. A better idea might have been to explain the change prior to implementation, but, what the hey. Mark Riffey’s right - “Wouldn’t it have been a better idea to contact […]
The prediction of the demise of b5media…
b5media doesn’t deserve $2 Million
Seems to me b5 has done a bit better than you imagined Nick :)
Might have been a thought to have quoted the positives rather than what you did quote in the VC’s article. This might have worked;
“I believe that the markets and the focus of […]
Consumer confidence at 5-year low
“Consumer confidence sank to a five-year low in March as tight credit markets, rising prices and worsening job prospects deepened worries that the economy has fallen into recession.”
Why not reconsider what you’re doing?

In an announcement that likely will not make A. Rooney happy, [I’m still researching A. Rooney’s last comment about this topic], QuadrantOne has more than doubled its size…
More newspapers join online ad system
“A group of newspaper publishers said Thursday it was joining an industry-backed online advertising sales effort aimed at winning more business from national […]
The mind set that is possible today in light of our economic news contains the ability to send many of us into a conservative shell or even into a deep isolationist negativity cave. Thankfully, there are those who can see the positives!
Opportunity of a Lifetime by Seth Godin;
“So, there’s plenty of bad economic news floating […]
What am I misunderstanding? Has AT&T boosted spending here in the USA to provide additional bandwidth capabilities for the “everyday American consumer?” If they did, I must not have seen the news, which is entirely probable/possible. Can you fill me in?
AT&T boosts network spending
“AT&T (T) is boosting its spending in an effort to better serve […]
There’s a common thread… one that has the opportunity to link at least two current topics together like super glue. And it is the biggest thief in all of humanity.
FEAR
It’s being used on us by not only the terrorists across the globe, by not only our administration, by the telcos also. Unless you don’t believe […]
