Companies that have no online presence are in "grave danger", regardless of their size, according to industry experts. MediaCo, a leading full-service UK internet marketing and web publishing agency, has said that by not having a web presence companies are giving their competitors a stronger market share because most customers are using the internet to source products and services. Depending on the nature of their business, this can range from a small online brochure to a fully-functional ecommerce site. Beyond that, they can employ an online marketing company to provide search engine marketing and email marketing services. Research published by the Federation of Small Businesses in August 2007 found that only 18 per cent of the nation’s small businesses are actively selling via the internet, despite the global audiences this option offers. read more

It’s election day in Australia and it’s going to be a momentous day for John Howard either way, but especially if he wins for a fifth term after trailing Labor’s Kevin Rudd all year. Howard has looked indomitable in the past few days in contrast with his harried and defensive appearances earlier in the past week. Fran O’Sullivan in the Weekend Herald pays tribute to Howard and sets outs why New Zealand has cause to celebrate his leadership even if it it is “Howard’s end”. It is a replica of the surprise Galaxy one yesterday narrowing Labor’s lead over the Coalition to just 4 points – 52 per cent to Labor and 48 per cent to the Coalition. And it is possible that Labor could again win more of the total vote nationwide but not win most of the seats, as occasionally happened in New Zealand before MMP. It’s a wonder that there has not been a greater movement in Australia for a proportional system like MMP, for which my respect has grown enormously in the past week. read more

HONOLULU (AP) — Beijing, where the next Olympics begin nine months from now, is a city of many names and many faces. I laid my eyes on Beijing for the first time in 1946 after coming from Mao’s primitive cave capital of Yanan, where I had spent seven months reporting on the Chinese communist revolution. Good deeds — he treated both rich and poor, nationalists and communists — made Bussiere a prominent figure in Beijing. Barred from communist China because the United States refused to recognize the country, my next taste of Beijing came in 1971 when I accompanied the American ping pong team on its breakthrough first visit. read more
