Mr Obama has done very well to get his stimulus package through both legislative houses in America. Bill Clinton in comparison failed in 1993 to get mere 16 billion through. There is lot at stake at the moment not only the economic recovery but also the integrity on a political leader to deliver on his promise.

Mr Obama methods could not be more contrasting to the out going republican administration who pursued a policy that America could dictate it’s terms to the world. With American debt spiralling out of control Mr Obama has realised that this is no longer case. It is sad reflection that would think that table banging politics could ever work. Mr Obama’s policy of bipartisan is still currently being subject to spoilt child tactics of the republicans. Who if they can not get there way take their ball and refuse to play.

He is on the right track. Better to engage although more costly and time consuming and win the battle of minds. There is only so much one can do. Without general consent it has no credibility. The key is how does one engage all parties. Choosing your method is critical, than again if it does not work you can always try another one. Cleary Mr Obama’s methode has worked.

I am not the world’s greatest letter writer, but in years gone by I do even less than I have done before.

Why is this?

Most, not all the people I know. I can stay in touch with on Facebook or other Social Media Sites.

I can see when a family member has gone to party, visited a place, lost a mobile phone.

That is one tangle benefit of Social media.

I know that it has been around for a while. For the last couple of weeks I have been watching more and more videos that they have put up on UTube. I figured that it was worth a mention here as it was innovative and still quite new. Some of these great speakers that Ted promote are talking about everything from science to environment to blogging and are interesting quality video posts. They can match the BBC at its most interesting. Each web episode is about 20 to 30 minutes and is usual sponsored by a major blue chip company like BMW. It is interesting that such episodes to do with walking and the environment are sponsored by a potential causes of the damages such as car manufactures. May be it is there way of positive branding. Not that BMW needs to do positive branding as their cars are considered to be the best. I guess all in all it works. Highly recommend having a peek at the catalogue.

Here is a taster about Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, when she had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.

Just came across this on the Prospectus website, which caught my attention. So they must be doing something right.

http://www.prospects.ac.uk Prospect is a career website for university graduates.

“It was Albert Einstein, himself no stranger to the occasional crazy concept, who claimed that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Whilst this isn’t exactly the sort of definition you’d expect a mental health professional to agree with, it’s certainly true that continually banging your head against a wall and expecting anything other than a headache seems a little daft. That’s why if you find yourself in the position where several months after graduation you are still trying to get your Plan A to work it might be time to accept that you could do with a Plan B.”

This philosopher can be applied to business. My own philosopher is to say yes untill you are too busy to say yes anymore. Thoughts.

I have been thinking for a while how to differentiate ones self from the super competitive internet market. The closely held maxim that content is king deserves to be re-examined.

I have recently been doing a lot of research and study into Law. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the amount of information on the internet relating the subject is more than sufficient. In this academic study where there is little commercial interest and expertise in generating Law content, I found the internet has more than enough sources.

My bet is that if you created a website which is well written and has truly informative content, you may have already missed the boat. This is purely in regards to search engine traffic and becoming an authoritative source on the internet.

Go any to any search engine and type in these words; blogging, How to blog, biz development, I would be very surprised if any blogger came on the first page except possibly A listers, or a blog that has been around for some considerable time.

There is no hard or fast solution here, first it is important to get to the facts.

It is no longer possible with millions of pages being created on the internet for Google to index yours at the top.

We must ask ourselves some questions:

If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, does it make a sound?

My own suggestion is that we possibly have to start moving to a more local applied use of blogging and use of information on the internet.

For example, small offline groups/communities in your particular area brought online by people they know. It is so much more interesting when you have met the person. You may than be able to gauge your audience and ultimately interact much better. So in my case it would a sales/business development that I would find and bring it online. Connecting to local people.

Thoughts?

Kick off your shoes and throw your ties away, forgot rock and roll social media is where it is at.

“oleil-Media Metrics analyst Laura Martin cut her rating on Google to “Hold” from “Buy” and slashed her price target to $350 from $580…saying the company’s practice of giving 10 percent of profits to charity and giving employees one day a week to work on pet projects should end amid the current economic climate.”

Jack woke up with a killer hangover after attending his firm’s Christmas Party.

He didn’t even remember how he got home.  It’s 8.30.  What day is it? Thursday.  His wife must have gone to work.

As he struggled into consciousness through the fog of a pounding headache, his stomach plummeted as he wondered what the hell he did last night.
He forced himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.  And, next to them, a little vase of sweet peas, freshly picked from the garden.

He sat up.  The bedroom was clean and tidy, - there was no trail of drunkenly abandoned clothes, fresh air was coming in through the window
and all was serene.  He stumbled to the bathroom, also pristine, and, squinting gingerly into the mirror, saw that he had a black eye.  This was not a good sign, but no memories were returning.
 
As he concentrated hard on getting the world into focus, he saw a post-it note stuck on the corner of the mirror.  It was written in red, with little hearts on it and a kiss from his wife.

I’ll ring your office and tell them you won’t be in today.  Breakfast is in the oven.  Try to eat something and go back to bed for the morning.There’s snooker on TV this afternoon.  Take it easy today, hope your eye doesn’t hurt too much.  See you tonight.  I love you, darling!  Love, Jillian. x

He stumbled to the kitchen and sure enough, there was hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the newspaper.  His teenage son was sitting at the table, eating. Jack, bracing himself, asked his son what happened the previous night.

Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind.  You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway,

and got that black eye when you ran into the door. ‘

Confused, he asked his son, ‘So, why is everything in such perfect order, aspirins by the bed, a nice note from Mum and breakfast waiting for me?’
His son replied, ‘Oh THAT!…  Mum dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your trousers off, you screamed, ‘Leave me alone you
slapper,
I’m married!!’
