Franchising Colonies in Space; A 100-Year Plan
Should we be looking at a 100-year plan to unite the Human Colonies in Space? What if we set up the Federation Colonies or the Space Franchise System (SFS)? Would that be a plan? Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ben Bova and many well known SciFi authors have indeed written about such things over the years.Indeed as a Franchisor Founder I too have considered this way-out idea and the thought of setting up Franchises in Space. I have considered the Space Colony Franchise System, as it does ma

"The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information. Its universality is essential: the fact that a hypertext link can point to anything, be it personal, local or global, be it draft or highly polished."

There is a "great need for information about information, to help us categorize, sort, pay for, own information..."

The 7 Tough Job Interview Questions That Can Make or Break You - and How to Answer Them
Some interview questions are asked so frequently that they've become classics. Practically every interview you go on you'll be answering one or more of these seven interview questions.Why are these the most frequently asked interview questions? Probably because they give the employer a good idea of who you are and if you're the best fit for their company.** Tell Me About YourselfThis is an obvious open-ended questions where the interviewer is inviting you to give some backgrou

It's hard to be impressed anymore. But when I learned of the phenomenal achievements of Tim Berners-Lee, I became not only impressed, but awestruck.

Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web. And what did you do today?

The World Wide Web is the portion of the internet which is basically involved with websites, as opposed to other internet usages such as email or FTP.

Fifteen years ago, there was no web and only a very rudimentary internet. No Travelocity. No iTunes. No Ebay, Amazon or American Singles. No Mapquest. No Google, Yahoo or AOL.

But then came Tim Berners-Lee.

In 1989, at the European Particle Physics Laboratory where he worked, he proposed that "a global hypertext space be created in which any network-accessible information could be refered to by a single "Universal Document Identifier"."

A year later, he developed the of the language of the web, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), along with the rules by which information flows across the internet, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and the web addressing method, URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

In order to demonstrate this new technology, he was also involved with the development of two other essential firsts: a web server - the computer which hosts web content, and a browser, the software which enables users to access web content.

In a classic example of technology enabling its own replication, some of the first content posted on the first web server was the specifications for HTML, HTTP, and URL. This allowed academics, and later business people across the world to set up their own web servers and connect to the web.

Soon, in 1994, he organized the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT, and also in France and Japan to promote ongoing development and uniform implementation of new protocols. Reality check: that was only 11 years ago!

Now a few quotes from Mr. Berners-Lee to demonstrate the largeness of his thinking:

There is a "great need for information about information, to help us categorize, sort, pay for, own information..."

Making Money From the Web
Since Feb 2005 I have been experimenting with making a little income from websites. Not by working on them and building them for people which is one of my ‘proper’ sources of income, but by actually building sites for myself that then generate an income.Now, before you get excited, I’m not making loads, in fact the sites are only just paying their way, but I thought I’d tell you about them as there is certainly potential in the techniques. In fact, quite a few people are making small fortun

Internet Marketing - Cutting Through The Nonsense
It seems I’m pitched the same products over and over, by a number of marketers, every few days when the next ‘amazing product’ comes along. My mailbox fills up with what seems to be the same promotion, worded differently, from every mailing list I’m on and I spend the next half hour deleting the repetitive nonsense.Are these products really so amazing that nearly every internet marketer on the planet would swear on their mothers that this is THE product that will make you rich? Then a few

Is Sponsorship Right for My Company?
Trade shows are a bonaza of sponsorship opportunities. Talk with any show organizer, and they’ll be more than happy to explain how you can make sure your company’s name and logo are plastered all over the arena, on the program guide, over the hospitality suite, even on the tote bags everyone carries around all day. It’s just a simple matter of money – lots of money. Spend enough, and at some conferences, you can get a seat on the event planning committee.Is all that cash worth it? How d

"There was a second part of the dream, too, dependent on the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic mirror (or in fact the primary embodiment) of the ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together."

These words point to a vision of a global interconnectedness which could actually help us understand ourselves better, at many different levels, and assist us in realizing our optimum placement within the global community.

Berners-Lee does not stop at that utopian vision, he goes on to map out where we need to go next:

"...very few people in practice have access to intuitive hypertext creation tools."

A next step, therefore, would be to develop and disseminate the tools to create web content, so that the mass of web visitors become not just surfers, viewers, searchers and downloaders. They become creators, too.

Now, in 2005, it is estimated that over 700 million people, or over 10% of the world population have internet access. From 1994 until present the web has grown an average of 275% each year. All of this and much, much more has stampeded into and created our future as a direct result of the work of Tim Berners-Lee.

As I said, I am awestruck.

Your message needs to get to the right person at the right time. And if you miss the narrow time span when it passes your prospect's attention, they'll never connect. It's easy to send your marketing message too early or let your prospects get it too late. Here is some tactics that will help you with sending your message just in time.

To improve our skills and the relationships we have with our prospects and clients, it's just as important to know what not to do. I decided to recount and dissect these painful experiences. One word of warning: while I've chosen not to use any names in order to protect the potentially innocent companies who may be employing these sales reps, the stories you're about to read are, unfortunately, all true. Viewer discretion is definitely advised!

With an ever-increasing number of people using the Internet like never before, a myriad of online opportunities have come up for people aspiring to make money sitting at home.
