The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz is a Book I just finished reading- I was sent a review copy-It really defines Bitter Sweet Bittersweet refers to a combination of the standard tastes of sweetness and bitterness, and is often used as a metaphor for experiences which have elements of both happiness and sadness.  It is another addition to the never ending Saga of Our Africa-Poverty-Murder-Sadness-it is beautifully written by a Great Lady with A very Clear Conscience-I say our Africa since if we live on the Mortal Coil we own the complete coil not just a segment-Seth Godin who first discussed the Fund on Squidoo lives on the total coil-and Condition-Mortal coil is a poetic term that means the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned, most famously in the phrase "shuffle[d] off this mortal coil" from Shakespeare's Hamlet.   I will pass my copy If you live in Royal Oak Michigan E Mail me at marshal.m1@gmail.com I will send you my copy or drop it off to you-then you can read and pass it on-or go to amazon and you can buy one-

April 28, 2009 Seth's Blog: The collectible totem Image byDavid Sifry via CrunchBase "The collectible totem I've been a huge fan of Hugh MacLeod since he first showed up on the web a few years ago. Hugh is a provocateur, a brilliant marketer and a nice guy. He's also a great cartoonist. Hugh's images, combined with his insightful promiscuous licensing policy (want to use this cartoon? Sure!) propelled his blog to the top of the charts and led to a book deal. His newest project, though, is the point of this post.

Marshal exhibits a blogging style that is less about tamping out his thoughts and more about the juggling, rearranging, juxtaposing, and syndicating of the content of other people and companies - a communications cubism of sorts.

The Internet Is Alive And Well (As An Investment) James Altucher penned a column in today's WSJ titled The Internet Is Dead (As An Investment). James is a fund manager and well read columnist on investing and he is entitled to his opinion. He puts his money where his mouth is. But so do I and since we continue to invest heavily in the Internet, I thought I'd take the opposite side of this debate. We (my partners and I at Union Square Ventures) think the Internet is one of those transformative technologies that changes everything. We see it like the industrial revolution or the invention of the printing press. It is a huge game changer. The Internet has been a commercial technology for about fifteen years now. And we are beginning to see the impact of it on everything around us. The industrial revolution and the Renaissance before it lasted a century or more. It takes a long time for such fundamental changes to work their way through the system and produce a new "normal".

Prelaunch Malaysia is a new direct sales opportunity that is being offered by a technology company located in St. Louis Mo. They are opening new markets in Singapore and Malaysia that will begin operations on January 24, 2010. Here is my honest review. Here it is, your opportunity to join a new MLM program before it begins operations in a new market. The company is well funded, debt free and has accumulated the top minds from other MLM's, CNN, Businesses and from other arenas. They claim to have developed one of the most unique applications to date. The product is described as: - Application build on a Microsoft Program - Sits on top of all the major search engines - Google, Yahoo & Bing The product will help the members take advantage of the multi million dollar Pay-Per-Click market. Google makes $1.3 million everyday and members will earn a share of this by using this amazing application. Right now there is no cost to join. All members will receive a replicated website to begin promoting the business. The website suggests that you share this with all your friends, Network Marketers, Business leader and anyone else who will listen. The video shows that if members can directly recruit 50 new members and have them do the same, members will have 2,500 individuals in their downline and potentially earn a significant income with the innovative compensation plan. Prelaunch Malaysia is a legitimate MLM opportunity. There is no risk at this point since it is free. Members will not discover the cost until January after they have begun their marketing efforts. The folks who can recruit by utilizing proven internet marketing methods will have a chance to earn big.

Alexa site rank like Google's page rank is a measure to determine how popular a particular website or blog is. And while Alexa isn't an accurate representation since it's only limited to those who use their toolbar it can still be an important factor when it comes to generating traffic, getting others to link to you, and advertising on your site. If you're not familiar with how Alexa page ranking works it essentially works like this.

The television has come a long way since it was first made commercially available in the 1930s. A few decades later, the color TV was developed from the earlier monochrome television technology. The next big development was the introduction of digital TV and eventually High-Definition Television or HDTV in the 1990s. We can now watch HDTV materials from different sources like terrestrial or satellite transmission, cable, IPTV and optical media such as DVD-HD or Blu Ray. But what could be the next big thing in television technology?
