Calling a spade a spade-Fucked Up Economy- We Can Export What? - (USA)
November 29, 2008 Job Stats Of The Damned September 2008: the Great Helmsman brags to the Party Conference: “It is not the arithmetic of statistics but the fabric of people’s lives. When we talk about three million more people in work since 1997 - that’s not just a number, that’s a life that’s been changed - three million times over. That’s the young woman laid off in the mid 90’s who’s now built a booming business of her own. Three million new jobs not by accident, but by our actions

Who would buy a newspaper? Anybody? - (USA)
At Jim Collins ‘ event for his new book at BusinessWeek last night, a former journalist turned business exec asked why no one was snapping up newspapers now that their market caps are worth practically nothing. They have powerful local brands, don’t they? he asked. Don’t they? The first reason no one wants to buy the trouble of newspaper, I suggested, is that it brings not only current loss but also huge shut-down cost and liability. But then, with more and more newspaper owners going bankr

(AP) - With the withering economy putting the squeeze on New Jersey businesses, Gov. Jon S. Corzine has been pushing legislation that reward companies for calling the Garden State home. But, a few well-intentioned proposals may not change the state’s long-held, antibusiness reputation. The 1,450 employers polled by the New Jer

How to Use Trust Factors to Increase Website Sales - (USA)
by Charles F-Cuninghame If you want to be taken seriously online, your website must be credible and trustworthy. Here’s how to do it. After 15 years of scams and spam, many people are wary about doing business online. The Web doesn’t have the physical solidity or familiarity that other sales channels do. Often there’s no clear distinction between editorial and advertising. And because anyone can put up a website these days, people are often dubious about the veracity of information they find

Ready or Not: Immature But Headed to College - (USA)
Colleges and new high school graduates have what I think is a strange idea. They think every freshman is an adult who can make his or her own decisions. Students think going off to college is a declaration of independence. Colleges, by law and by inclination, don’t involve parents in their children’s academic progress and won’t give out any information. Sometimes this is fine. When a student is mature, motivated, self-directed and responsible, he can be expected to make good choices, to learn

The premature announcement of the death of New Labour - tackling the recession or tinkering? - (USA)

Derek Simpson reckons that “Gordon Brown has thrown off the shackles of New Labour to reveal the real Labour”.

The Case Against Apple Is Just As Much A Case For Apple - (USA)
I’ve had a half dozen or so longer posts about Apple brewing in my head the past couple of weeks. There is no shortage of controversy surrounding the company right now thanks largely to the hugely popular and hugely unpopular aspects of the iPhone. But Jason Calacanis’ post yesterday entitled “ The Case Against Apple-in Five Parts ” serves as a great springboard for bringing up a lot of it. The Backstory While my story with computers doesn’t go back quite as far as Calacanis’, our stor

From Professional Malcontent to Passion Catalyst - (USA)
Eight years ago today, I launched my career as a Passion Catalyst. It wasn't that glorious of a launch, really. More of a dribble. But I committed to it, took a step, and quickly discovered how amazing it felt to actually be doing work you're meant to do. For years prior to discovering my Passion Catalyst work I was what I describe as a Professional Malcontent. I had been on a path I wasn't meant for, chasing a dream that in the end really didn't mean all that much to me. And I was unhapp
