The WSJ reported on this last week: http://online.wsj.com/article/... Domainers are mixed as to the impact of this development. Most feel that the move is first and foremost about ICANN making money. It's a classic cross-sell designed to give generic keyword-rich domain owners more holes to plug in the dike. My GoDaddy account rep tells me that there are currently 35 TLDs to choose from. This move by ICANN will only add to the clutter. - Harry Joiner

Allrightey then! Congratulations, Larry! - Harry Joiner

Note that "Manufacturers are entering the online market: In the US already 5% of consumers online sales are purchased at the webshops of manufacturers. And over 50% of consumers look for information at the manufacturers website before purchasing goods online." More and more of my etail candidates are being recruited away from IR-500 DTC sites to establish the online stores of manufacturers. - Harry Joiner

Very interesting post about the power of dumping an employee who's not working out. At AJC International, we used to say of our falling long trading positions "Your first lost is your best loss." So it goes in staffing. Kennedy's post reminds me of the old Jack Welch 10/70/20 rule that GE promoted with programs like Workout and Session C. - Harry Joiner

Great article. My domains are a powerful asset, and I know from experience that their value can be difficult to assess for tax purposes. - Harry Joiner

This is a great idea. Man, the indignity of the job search. I hated it not too long ago. - Harry Joiner

This concept seems to make a ton of sense. Nicely done. - Harry Joiner

Great material for interviewing candidates for Social Media jobs. This is a relatively new field that is changing all the time -- so it's nice to have someone like Tara weigh in. - Harry Joiner

IMHO, Kevin Hillstrom's MineThatData.com is the best weblog on the web. It is consistently well-planned, thorough, and engaging. Multichannel ecommerce candidates should bookmark this site. - Harry Joiner

Not sure I understand this, but I intend to figure it out. I have been reading a lot of Steve Rubel lately. Man, he does a great job of taming information overload. - Harry Joiner

If you don't own the book TOPGRADING, you should buy it. It is a tremendous resource, and business owners like nothing more than to hire executives (like YOU) who know how to attract, screen, hire, onboard, motivate, measure, develop, compensate, and retain A-players. - Harry Joiner

Another GREAT post. I plan to build this formula into my HP 17B-II calculator. OR ... I might get an interactive calculator like this built for my website. Stay tuned. - Harry Joiner
