Am I crazy to think of no email?
I just read that email is outdated among the generation between 13 to 24.
I find it hard to believe, but consider the alternatives, Skype, sms, text messaging , ICQ and AIM
Is this a good or a bad thing ?
I get over 200 email messages a day of which 75 % is spam, so anything that helps in this respect cannot be considered detrimental.
I hate spam.
I see the use and deployment of email undergoing some change in the future.
What remains surprising is that nothing has been done about all the spam that costs so much in lost productivity, in fact spam has increased 45% in the last 2 -3 years. Or could it be that some one is still making money from it. hmm...?
So now what is the future of email marketing if email goes into the thrash bin.
When the 13 - 24 yr olds becom 23 -34 yr old and no longer use email?
Other methods can be adapted.
Should there be a shift to marketing via Skpye and SMS advertisemsents ?
If I am a paid subscriber to a service, such as telephone, should it be my choice as to what messages to recieve?
I know that there are companies that already are or poised market over mobile phones and sms
so I do hope that email spam does not become cell phone spam or are we doomed?
To advertise spam free and earn some serious lifetime commissions.
How is marketing handled at MySpace, Facebook and Youtube?
It may be harder to spam at social networking sites and the article claims that SMS and texting are more immediate and intimate than email.
One service that I think will bloom in the very near future is RSS which puts the power back in my hands.
Without going into technical details, stands for Real Simple Syndication.
I pick up Syndicated feeds that I choose to subscribe to, much like tuning into a radio or tv Program at my own discretion. The spammers may eventually find their way into RSS , but we are now free to choose.
What's your take?
How should spam be handled and is email dead ?

This may change the game as we know it
There are perhaps billions of web pages, at last count, I read that Google indexes 2 billion pages.
I just wondererd how long it would take to visit every page on the web?
Impossible , perhaps.
Perhaps the technology to make visting multiple pages at once, can help. I heard of someone having 75 windows open simultaneously.
The point of my ramble is that there are far tooo many pages for anyone to stand out effectively.
There may be several strategies and techniques to create visitors, or impressions, eyeballs.
Marketers use the terms in driving traffic
The term Viral comes to mind, Buzz marketing is another.
Gooogle's algorithm allows your site be moved to higher position in its respective categories, based on keywords.
However, this situation is perhaps too fluid and dynamic , infact , what can be in top position can be supplanted in seconds.
Nothing lasts forever, seasons change and so does every situation.
The challenge now facing website owners is how to get your site noticed.
Build it and they will come, no longer applies here.
At this moment, the most visted site is MySpace, it will not stay that way, or should it?
There will now be several attempts at copying the manner in which MySpace got to be No 1.
Some may work for a while, other will certainly crash and burn.
I recently came across something that suggests we are perhaps entering into a new era in site promotion.
Stick with me for a moment.
Look at the internet as the ocean, wide and vast, consider websites as creatures that live in the sea, billions of creatures, analagous to billions of websites. Is there a king of the sea? king of fishes? king of creatures?
It might not be possible for anyone site to be category killer for any long extended period.
update...
As should be expected, what promised to be new technology turned out to be fraudulent, so the books are closed on this one.
The recent phenom is social networking and bloggging invokes a new era, I now wonder where this phenom is headed or will it last, how can this phenom be coupled with ecommerce? or should it..
A rather distressing comment that I read is that 95 % of the websites on the web are getting very little if next to no traffic, yet there are miilions of new pages everyday.
Why should the effort be expended to create blogs and new sites if they continue to be lost in the ocean?
Are we just wasting our time?
Too many questions, enough of my ramble for now...

This you have to see
I could not believe my eyes and ears
Almost everyone with a heartbeat now has cellphone, retailers are giving them away.
And almost everyone has a PC,that is operated by Windows operating system or Apple MAC.
For a long time, I have considered a convergence of all things electronic.
It would be beautiful if we could just carry one device that could handle a multitude of tasks.
This is no pipe dream, I really believe that it could be possible
A cellphone/PDA/MP3/scanner/Printer/TV, whatever in one device.
Well this looks like a start in that direction.
You can now control your PC media player, PowerPoint presentation or any Windows or Mac application using your Sony Ericsson Bluetooth-enabled phone.
That's right, your cell phone as a remote control.The new Bluetooth Remote Control tool enables you to easily and visually map keyboard and mouse functions to your phone's keypad. Virtually any application can be controlled without installing any additional software. You can even import and export customized control mapping images tailored to suit your phone model using your favorite graphics package. The application generates an HID profile which can be beamed to your Bluetooth-enabled handset using serial/USB, Infrared or Bluetooth without requiring any configuration changes.
The industry standard has become the Human Interface Device or HID which as its name implies will now allow for a host of goodies that human are interfaced with.
I do not know what the cost of the units will be, but should be interesting.
Looks like the future is here sooner than we think, and it makes me anxious to see what coming down the pike.
For some of the best in Bluetooh enabled devices go here
I will keep you updated till then..
Keep in touch.

On-line purchases expected to increase by 20% in'06
We are in a new era.
Consumers are becoming more comfortable with making transactions on-line, this data has come from a recent survey done by the IDC.
I do believe that this time around, things are different,there is no mad rush, as in the earlier days that created the bubble, that had Uncle Alan wondering about irrational exuberance.
FREE BUSINESS CARDS - Never Expires
There seems to be some semblance of order, and initiatives appear to be better planned.
There are things being done, that was not possible five years ago.
A friend of mine emailed a document while travelling across the Atlantic. I made changes to the document and emailed back to him, while I travelled across the country.
The pace of tech innovations is sure to accelerate, as deployment of broadband is ramped-up
I may be exuberant, but about the prospects of the future.
Retailers are shifting focus to on-line, and some are only offering web-only deals.
Some deals are truly HOT
Grab your share of some sizzling hot deals! They won't last!
This is sure to create some sort of paradigm shift, as more things go-online.
I see a paradox between gaining productivity ,and losing some personal or social contact.
Remember Faith Popcorn when she cited that" cocooning " a new trend.
Another recent survey cites that the trend to download music and movies is expected to accelerate.
FREE RETURN ADDRESS LABELS - Expires 6/30/05
It seems almost inevitable, that very soon an internet connection will be as essential as food and shelter. The interconectivity can make the world a smaller and hopefully, a better place

We've only just begun- no B.S.
I read of two recent, seperately published works by an academic and another writer, on the suject of B.S.
I wonder how the subject of B.S. would be researched?
What is no B.S. is that on-line usage is still in the infant stages.
According to some recent statistics, the top 5 Global Internet Marketers now constitute almost $200 billion in market cap.
Some even more staggering figures is that broadband has only been adopted in 20-30 % of US households.
It boggles the mind to think of the traffic that would be generated if this was at a higher percentage.
Off-line advertising is on a steady decline as consumers become more comfortable and satisfied with the on-line experience
The driving forces may be the tools used to access info.
What I would hope to see as broadband assumes widespread deployment, is a convergence of all things electronic.
Retailers use on-line adverising to promote brand awareness of products or services, but wouldn't you love to download music or videoes from your cell even if you would have to pay a nominal fee.
I know the technology is available, but is difficult to use.
How about wirelessly downloading a movie with your cell to your Home Theatre system which includes the widescreen TV, while you work in a different location.
The internet is all about volume, imagine, related content being released to a billion consumers almost everywhere.
Access is made easier, by mobile phone,tv,pc,PDA or any electronic device
I know it's all possible, no B.S. and I cannot wait for some of the future.

New to the Blogosphere
I am a newbie at this and at the same time, tremendously excited about the potential.
Firstly, I wonder if anyone should should acknowledge some of the pioneers of the phenomena.
My mind goes back to people like Drudge, who was initially vilified, either wrongly or rightly.
A recent report I read yesterday suggested that we may already be entering a peak, at the same time there are also suggestions that the way business is conducted is going to enter a tremendous transformation, so whom do I believe or do I even care?.
While the phenom exists, it should be used to your advantage.
I promised to present technology so as a start visit here
There are some things on the horizon that should excite quite a few people.
Digital cameras: 11 megapixels are already in production.
Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display televisions. SED will be introduced in the latter half of 2005, promises to do a better job than either LCD or Plasma Displays.
I can go on for hours, I but I have a job to do, so keep in touch
