Very good social networking article
Political affiliations aside, I think this article on Barack Obama’s online strategy has some really good lessons for creating social networking communities.
Times are a changing…..
For as long as I can remember, most of the demand for Internet software development has been coming from the United States. Over the past several months now, I have been noticing a shift of sorts. There is a great deal of activity taking place outside of the United States. I am seeing a lot of activity taking place in other countries that are targeting those countries. In other words, people are starting to see beyond the United States as a target market for their online services. Is this a trend or is this beginning of a structural shift? I am curious to see what others have to say.
What do you think?

China surpasses the United States to become the World’s largest Internet market…
China has surpassed the United States as the World’s largest Internet market by number of users a research firm said Thursday.
The estimate by Beijing-based BDA was based on data provided by the China Internet Network Information center which indicated that the country’s Internet users totaled 210 million in December of 2007.
Neilsen Net/Ratings put the US web population at 216 million for the same period, BDA said. “Based on these sources and the assumtions that these markets have continued to grow in 2008 to date at the same rates that they grew in 2007, we can conclude that China has by now comfortably surpassed the United States as the world’s largest internet population,” analyst, Bin Liu said in a statement.
The best kind of web traffic for websites…
In Monday, March 10, 2008’s New York Times, there is an interesting study summary on the best type of web traffic to have. Click to the article directly by clicking here or find the summary below.
If you sell things on the Internet, should you tinker with your Web site so that it ranks high in search results? Or would you be wiser to spend money on the paid listings that appear beside those results?
A recent study by Engine Ready, an Internet marketing company, analyzed 18.7 million visits over two years to Web sites run by 27 of the company’s roughly 500 clients. The study found that paid listings had a slight edge over “organic,” or unpaid, search results: visitors who clicked on paid links were 17 percent more likely to buy something, and they spent about 18 percent more on each order.
But neither of these is the most valuable kind of Web site visitor. That honor goes to the people who arrive at a site by typing its Web address directly into their browsers or clicking on a bookmark. Such visitors, who tend to be repeat customers, linger the longest, spend the most money, and are the most likely to “convert” to buyers, doing so on 3.3 percent of their visits. On average, their visits are worth $5.69 apiece.

We added project planning and bug tracking tools to our core process. You can access Securenext project management and Securenext Bug tracking system, we are making use of open sources systems in place to reduce the cost of clients in managing projects.

Repo lots overflowing with reclaimed cars….
I am very interested in all things economic and have been for some time now. As we go through an economic slowdown here in the United States, I will be posting things that I find interesting. This is one such piece of information.
We have long known about the sub-prime meltdown and the dramatic jump in foreclosures across the country. However, foreclosures and the like is not limited to sub-prime mortgages but rather all different types of mortgages across the spectrum.
It turns out that it is not only mortgages where we are seeing a significant amount of defaults, but also automobile loans. The result is that repo men or women, the people who repossess cars in default from owners in the dead of night are experiencing a significant jump in business. Lenders are also increasing their allowances for charging off bad loans.
What does all of this mean? If you are in the market for a new car, you may be able to get some screaming deals.
