Is a Tag Line Absolutely Necessary Along With Your Company Name?

Marcia Yudkin

Interactive Social Network Sites

Frasier Smith

In 2006, Google spent around $1.6 billion to acquire YouTube. Google bought it for two reasons: first, the massive YouTube subscriber base and second, YouTube is a new breed of interactive site that Google believes is the future of the Internet.

Viral Marketing 101

Rudolf Freidlander

Creativity; this is one asset a site must possess to lead the race for Internet based businesses. With so much competition and rivalries going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

10 Ways to Change Your Life by Changing Your Memes

Kris Knopp and Bea Fields

Memes; funny word, big concept. Memes are essentially the building blocks for how we move through life. From "Where's the beef" to "Nice guys finish last", they are made up of ideas, behaviors, styles or usages that spread from person to person within a culture. They form the boundaries and limits we use to operate in the world. Through awareness and conscious choice, our memes can support and energize us to reach our goals and create a new reality--one of our own choosing.

Wendy Betterini

How many times have you felt truly defeated by the circumstances in your life? You know, the "I don't know why I bother to keep trying, I'm going back to bed and staying there" feeling.

This may well be the case but it is just as likely that they have learned and used some effective techniques for either motivating themselves or to motivate others.
