How does businesss and marketing effect Christmas? This has been a disscussion over the past 10 or 15 years and it only get stronger as mass consumption becomes more and more common place. With discount stores and areas of shopping putting up their 'Christmas' lights even before Thanksgiving now, the question become that is business trying to squeaze to much shopping out of people without moral standpoint? I believe marketing and advertising can and will have to take a better role in human li...

This blog speaks to the problem and the possibility of other blogging sites taking the same line of thinking along with it. Source: JesseWarden.blog     December 06, 2004 Blogspam == DNS Attack   I'm starting to think blogspam is the equivalent of a DNS attack. Currently, I'm effectively shut down. I cannot blog, because if I post an entry, I cannot allow feedback. My comments, if opened, will be open to predations by hundreds of blog spam comments a day. I ...

SOURCE: MSN Money Jubak's Journal What if nobody retires? By Jim Jubak Lately, the idea of working longer and retiring later has become the financial planning equivalent of a free lunch. You've heard this one from the politicians: If everyone delayed retiring for a couple of years, it would "fix" Social Security. And from the financial planners: Keep working if you haven't saved enough for a comfortable retirement. You've probably heard it so often that the idea dances throu...

SOURCE: FOOL.com Credit Lies and Urban Legends By Dayana Yochim (TMF School) November 12, 2004 We'd like to take a moment to tackle a few credit reporting misconceptions and rumors that just won't die. This is what we call a "lightning round" Q&A, designed to quickly disperse the crowd whispering around the water cooler. If you're looking for deeper, more meaningful insights into the credit reporting industry, you won't find it here. (It's here.) MYTH: Cutting up a credit card ...

For me, this is something I realized over the course of these past few years. Good guys don't finish last, they finish first. Its hard to see that most of the time. As someone who has just entered the coprate world I have been exposed to a lot of coruption. Not just the regular political "I know him" and "we are buddies" type of game that goes o everywhere, I am talking about straight out revenge, bad management, harrassment, dangerous actions and so on. What I didn't see until recently is th...

This maks me wonder about my own cell carrier. I bet if I ask them about my first late payment and how if I don't renew will I have to pay a fee anyway for leaving (the same fee I would get for leaving now). I bet it would be the same. The only good thing about that is that I want the T-Mobile SideKick and plan on renewing anyway because I need (well, actually want) the Sidekick and its web capabilities. I could pobably get something else for less that goes on the web, but the SideKick is so ...

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of editorials from bloggers all across the net (but more likely from JoeUser, Modblog and a few other blogs I go to like Blogspot) and their editorial on a specific topic. A few of my favorite bloggers are Frogboy (aka Dranginal) and Bakerstreet. Along with little-whip and others from the blogging commnuity, I will try to pick editorials that I think are pretty on point or even just make a point that is arguable and somehow articulated well. ...

Yup, that's right, if you get a Yahoo News feed to your blog or website, you might wan to think again and make sure that feed doesn't have an ad in it.   Granted, if the ads are actually related to the news feed and have HELPFUL infomation content then I would be glad to have it because its not some 'dummy ad' that just says, "Look at me, I am selling something!" That would be insane and make many people (including me) very cross. Not a totally thought out idea I think. I...

The great thing about my ideas is that somehow I feel as if I am ahead of the curve, if not by a few weeks, bt at times by a few months. With sites like Friendster and others where people help each other to find love and roomates, the new idea is to use that for retial. With eBay proving consumer to consumer sales can work, now other places are doing it as well. But this takes it to a new level. A level that goes beyond just having a link to a forum that reviews consumers thoughts in one post...
