Blogs Are Profitable

The San Francisco Chronicle has nailed it: “Yes, some blogs are profitable - very profitable!”
Apart from the optimistic title, however, the article does a pretty good analysis of the blogosphere, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.

Check this quotation:

The blogging world has tremendous strengths - original voices, provocative
opinions, imagination and intimate knowledge of a variety of subjects. But it is
also an industry struggling to mature, many observers argue. They say blogging
companies must overcome the industry’s reputation as a sort of digital Wild West
where anything goes, and confront such questions as conflicts of interest,
product hype, bias and low standards of accuracy.

That is the scenario we should be aiming for; where blogs become just another content management system. Not online diaries. Not a bunch of teenagers sharing their frivolous thoughts and experiences.

Women Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneur:

A new survey sponsored by RSM McGladrey and the National Association of Women Business Owners has created a profile of today’s average woman entrepreneur.

After surveying 650 women across the country, the 2007 Survey of Women Business Owners found that women entrepreneurs are more educated.

Here are other key findings from the survey:
They take more risks. Sixty percent of women surveyed would use up to 95 percent of their personal savings or put up their home as collateral for a loan to start or expand their business.

They have been successful for a while. More than 60 percent of the businesses surveyed have been in operation six or more years, higher than the 40 percent reported through other surveys for all businesses.

They started young. Forty percent of businesses with more than $6 million in revenue were started by women between the ages of 20 and 29.

They can get financed. Less than 6 percent have gone to a bank and never been able to receive financing.

They have a family life and run a business. Sixty-eight percent are married, higher than the national average of 53 percent for working women. And 67 percent of those surveyed have children.

Business Just A Game For Entrepreneur?

What a big said from.

The Cape Breton Post:

Matt Swan was looking for a way to build a local business that would enable him to stay home in Cape Breton, earn a living and spend more time with his young family.

One day, he was looking at a common local image made up of lines and squares, and it hit him: business is just a game. Well, at least that’s true in Swan’s case.

“I was looking at the Cape Breton tartan and thought that would make an interesting checker board,” he said.He finally settled on a cotton cloth game board, wood doweling rack for the wooden checkers and a clear plastic waterproof carrying case. A printed sheet of instructions, with a description of the Cape Breton tartan, is included.Swan prints the game boards and he and his wife, Shannon, assemble the game parts at their home on Rudderham Road in Point Edward.
The printing process is a trade secret. But Swan said the best part about his product is that he can customize the game board for any use, including tourist operations, corporate promotions or conventions.

Now, Swan sells the Cape Breton checkers game from his home and it is available in more than 20 retail outlets in and around the island.

How to copy HTML links with firefox

The solution for this problem can be found in Firefox extensions that allow you to copy HTML links on the fly; meaning that they enable you to copy simultaneously the link text and HTML, and once you paste it you will already get the HTML code ready to go.

The most used extension for this purpose is called CoLT. Basically you will need to right click on the link you want to copy, move the mouse over “Copy Text Link and Location As,” and then select “HTML Link.”

I have used it for a while, but I don’t link the fact that I need to go through two sets of menus. It adds one unnecessary step to the process.
