The world is a small place when doing busines on the internet

When I tell people about my caricature business, they are amazed. Now I’m no artist and lots of people know this, which is why they are amazed I guess! The thing that gets them is the GLOBAL nature of the business.
You see my artists are scattered all around the world. Each has their own distinct style which means you as a customer can get what you want…regardless of where you are.
I don’t know why people are amazed - I have long since put the DISTANCE aspect of the web behind me and now work on time zones and what I call ‘awake times’.
Is MySpace a HUGE unrecognised marketing opportunity?
MattE 02 Nov 2006 | : Marketing, Web
In my reading around the forums, I came across a thread dealing with MySpace. While I had read a bit on MySpace a while ago, this thread captured my attention.
From my previous brief look at MySpace, it seemed like a teen zone, tens of thousands of ‘Spaces’ with garish layouts and themes - so bad in fact that many are barely legible.
But this thread was about people using MySpace to market their websites, services and products. Now a caveat here: MySpace terms and conditions say business promotion is not allowed on MySpace…but there are plenty there doing it, in what could be termed a grey zone.
Civil liberties group says Telstra GPS trackers go too far.
This ABC News report: Civil liberties group says Telstra GPS trackers go too far does indeed raise some interesting questions.
Assuming the vans being driven are Telstra vans, being driven by Telstra employees and not contractors, then I see not too much to be alarmed about.
I am sure existing Telstra shareholders would like to be assured that ‘their’ vans are in their operational area and especially those in remote areas where safety is an issue.
