Tuesday, den 14. April 2009
The newest mainstream company to put on its green thumb is Payless, which has just brought organic shoe line zoe&zac to shelves.

George Parker: Will Any Lessons Be Learned from the Enfatico Disaster?
Tuesday, den 14. April 2009
Late last week, Enfatico effectively ceased to exist as a stand alone operation. The “Agency of the future,” sixteen months after its creation, became the agency of the past when it was rolled into Y&R. Forgive me for enjoying a brief toot on my horn here, but I’d been forecasting this on AdScam for months, opting for either Grey, or Y&R as the likely home for the struggling enterprise. Launched with much fanfare in December 2007, it was claimed this would be the first agency totally dedicated to servicing… Continue reading George Parker: Will Any Lessons Be Learned from the Enfatico Disaster?

Tuesday, den 14. April 2009
With several widely reported newspaper closings, it’s no news that the current business model of journalism is broken. But its rapid evolution has sparked an interesting discussion about possible solutions. Charlie Rose recently hosted a talk between Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post and Thomas Curley, president and CEO of the Associated Press. It’s a classic battle between developing old media models and creating brand new ones, with the AP arguing that they need to protect the content that’s so costly to produce and HuffPo… Continue reading The Race for New Business Models in Journalism

Review: PickaWeb WebHosting Reseller Business
Tuesday, den 14. April 2009pWhat about starting your own web hosting company almost at the rate of hosting your own website or blog!/p
pDoes it sound impossible? Actually it is not. Starting a web hosting company does not require you to spend money to buy your server, set up and development, maintenance or ongoing technical support etc. You can actually start a web hosting company @ £99 per year (£8.25 per month). Isn’t it the amount you normally spend to run a professional website or blog!/p
pTo start your own web hosting company, all you need to do is to register a reseller account with another web hosting company. That is it. With a reseller account you get the right to resell the hosting space to other people. And with a reseller account you can host unlimited domains, setup your own hosting plans for the clients, assign individual control panels to your customers, website builder for your customers and many more things./p
pDon’t believe me? Take a look at a href=”http://www.pickaweb.co.uk”Picka Web/a. They offer web hosting reseller account for the same price in UK. For £8.25 per month, you actually get 8 GB space and 30 GB Bandwidth. Good deal huh! /p
pWe often come across situations, where we can easily take the opportunity to sell a hosting plan – even if you never had a plan to get into online hosting business. Just calculate how many people have already consulted you about starting a website or blog. You could easily start an online web hosting business with them. /p
pWorried about technical support? They provide 24#215;7 technical support in case you or your customers need one./p

Tuesday, den 14. April 2009
