Facebook’s unprecedented recent $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp helped bolster the social networks’ stock price 158% over the past year. In my recent blog post, "WhatsApp With Facebook’s Stock?…"
FB moved from $25 in February, 2013 to $70 one year later on February
26, 2014. However in acquiring the virtual reality software startup Oculus Rift
this week for $2 billion, not all analysts agree that the stock market is pleased with. . .
How many times have you found yourself sitting by the fire on a cold
winter’s night, wishing you had Bailey’s to put in your hot chocolate,
but dismiss the idea since you have already changed into your favorite
cow pajamas? Liquor, like coffee, is one of those things that we all
proclaim we wish would appear through a delivery service, and a new
concept has been introduced to Boston and New York residents.
We have Tim Berners-Lee to thank for the World Wide Web – an accessible
bank of knowledge that’s hyperlinked content across the globe bestowing
upon "us mere mortals a real chance to learn as much as our brains can store." And guess what? He did it all before digital monetization. . .
It was only a matter of time, considering the internet has made the
world’s obsession with all things feline rise to new levels. Cat-themed
businesses aren’t a new trend, and perhaps that’s why the latest
business might make even the craziest of cat ladies shudder with dismay.
For all those naysayers out there who couldn’t help but caterwaul over Facebook’s demise before the ink was even dry on it IPO opening, May 19, 2012 — including myself [see "How Many Dumb F*cks Rocked Facebook’s IPO Like It’s 1999?"] — our subesquent rude awakening was the world’s largest social network fooled a good many of us.
It might be morbid and upsetting, but the death industry has always been
killing the competition (pun intended) because of the simple fact that
everyone on the planet will die. There is no other industry that caters
to a basic need of the entire world population. Admittedly, some of the
businesses in the industry, and the services that they offer, won’t
appeal to everyone; but they do demonstrate that creativity in business
isn’t dead. The latest business in the industry is futuristic, and takes
memorializing to a whole new level.
Time is of the essence when running a small business — particularly
when each staff member [whether he or she is the founder or its sales
agent] is often required to wear many hats,
juggle multiple disciplines and multi-task on an ongoing-basis. Add
travel and out-of-the-office business engagements to the mix…
Outsourcing has a reputation for saving time and money, but is that accurate? Just because someone else can do your work, does that mean they should? Is it really beneficial to every busines owner? Here are a few tips to understanding outsourcing and making a qualified decision on whether or not to use it!
It is a growing trend to for businesses that have nothing to do with
sex, to use it to give them an edge in their market. They use
provocative tricks to grow, which is of course controversial. Women are
typically the ones putting themselves on display for the benefit of men
in such businesses. The reverse business structure is marginally less
common, not because there isn’t a market, but because many women prefer
to be more discreet when it comes to male ogling. At least, they did
until Hollywood decided to make a movie about men shaking what their
mommas gave them.
There is a big business in scaring people, and it is a concept that
doesn’t just find people knocking down its haunted doors for Halloween.
Many major tourist areas across North America feature haunted houses and
mazes that have people lining up to pee their pants as people jump out
of the shadows. While the more traditional scare providers are still
successfully operating, there is a new type of terror in town competing
in the market, and it creates a unique and scary experience that rivals
some popular, nightmare inducing movies.
