Or if the numbers are negative, we’ll ask ourselves the question, ” How can I change the approach in my manufacturing business to insure growth over the next couple of years?”But the

All the major players are leaping into Second Life while I’m still muddling through my first. Can virtual reality be that much better than real life?

Second Life is a three-year-old virtual community with 1.39 million members created by Linden Lab. This “virtual universe” or “metaverse” is like the popular video game “Sims” where participants create their own reality and populate it with “avatars” to represent themselves in either a realistic or surrealistic ways. According to Steve Hamm in Business Week, IBM’s head honcho Sam Palmisano has two avatars – business and sporty.

Evidently this digital world is being discovered by cutting edge firms eager to demonstrate their commitment to innovation. They intend to use it as test bed for ideas and as platform for marketing and recruiting. And in the short ruin the race is on between IBM, SUN, Dell, Nissan, Toyota or CNET for publicity and first-mover bragging rights.

Is Your Performance Review System Outdated?
One of the most common complaints we hear from interviewing employees in the construction industry is, “I never get useful feedback about how I am doing my job.”Most companies today use a performance appraisal system or a performance review system that was invented decades ago in a much slower business economy.

When this was being announced on the evening news, the reporters interviewed several people who were pumping gas into their Luxury SUVs at their local Exxon station. They were all singing the same song, "It is immoral for Exxon to make

Bartle Bogle Hegarty, the British-import creative shop, claims to be first ad agency on SL by creating a virtual office with virtual hottie receptionists on an island sim. According to a press release they intend to “involve these digital advocates in new business problems” whatever that means. Meanwhile Anomaly argues that their island called “Tenjin” has been operating on SL for 7-8 months. Without much hype Leo Burnett set up the “Ideas Hub” and others are sure to follow.

All this leaves me scratching my real bald head.

I understand that marketing in the digital world is bedeviling major brands. I get the fact that agencies can’t or haven’t really followed their audiences with the speed or agility that marketers need. And I know why agency brands are rushing to embrace the “latest and greatest place you can find to spend marketing dollars”, as Eric Friedman put it in his Marketing.fm blog.

What I don’t get is:

1. Why all of a sudden did this particular virtual world get the nod?

2. Is this the flavor of the week or are these pioneer brands staking out prime real estate in a world I’ll eventually

If you have an online business and you're trying to get traffic to your site, you want to advertise. Many people think this means that you have to advertise on the web or via some electronic medium. But advertising is advertising whether it's on the web, in an email, on a sign, on TV, at a trade show, or in a magazine. Your choice of advertising – online or offline – should not be driven by which media it is on. Rather, where you advertise should be driven by what audience you seek. The media that can you get you closest to the audience you need at the best price, is the media you should use. How can you tell the audience of a given media? Believe it or not, there's numbers available for everything. A few examples include the following:

Most women executives understand they work in what has historically been a man’s business world. Most of these hard charging kick butt women have no problem with such a scenario and understand the facts and reality. Indeed they choose to find their own way into that world and function in it they say.

In today's economy, job seekers need an edge beyond their experience, education and specific industry and job-related skills, in order to find and secure a position. Regardless if you are looking for an opportunity as CEO, Vice President, IT Manager or Customer Service Representative, you need effective tools to compete within a market that is job-poor and candidate rich.
