Leveraging eBook Products
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 22nd, 2009| | No Comments »

Without a product or service that people want and are willing to pay for, there is no business. So, it all starts with the product. There are two kinds of products: physical and digital. Physical books have significant material production, storage, and shipping costs. On the other hand, ebook products are easy to store on a computer, easy to ship and deliver instantly over the internet, they have much higher profit margins, and you can automate most of the business.

However, my impression of the market today is that it’s saturated with ebook products of marginal use value. This presents an enormous opportunity for content enrichment. It also changes the use value of marginal products to examples of educational and promotional material. As long as these relations are somehow communicated, the basis for business building will revert to quality and competition for enrichment.

Content is a quality that can be expressed as a principal of polarity where there are two poles or opposite aspects. The opposites are in fact two extremes of the same thing. For example, hot and cold are the same but opposite the further apart they get and are measured with a thermometer. In ebooks, quality of content can be informative or obscure and measured by use value tested by the question – can I use it or not?

My years of experience in the publishing industry introduced me to all kinds of content, books and bindings of all shapes and sizes. Now that I am publishing on the internet, the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” is probably more true today than ever before. In fact, ebook covers can in a word be described as enthralling and titles continue to raise the bar on headlines that sell.

All books require production of content that starts as a manuscript and ends up packaged as some kind of book or ebook. When I was a kid, I read comic books. When I was at school I read text books and novels. As a publisher I read novels of interest and technical journals in my field of work. In retrospect, I read a Tale of Two Cities in a comic book first, then again at school, which struck me as unusual because the condensed very low cost comic book gave me a head start comprehension of the original, published work. I mention this to point out that a digest version of a book or topic may be short on quantity, but the quality of content still has some use value regardless of its package.

Information products packaged as ebooks are all somewhere on the content or use value scale. What sets them apart is packaging and promotion. Books can over or under deliver content or packaging, but in the end, it comes down to whether or not it can be sold. The fact is that money is being made from ebooks positioned virtually anywhere on the use value scale.

Leveraging ebook products starts with streaming old titles to education, bonus, or promotion use while at the same time developing new enriched content. The main indicators of better content are chapters released for appraisal before sale and publication dating similar to printed books. If it’s free then you’ve nothing to lose but your time. If you must pay, buyer beware.

If you’re serious about the quality of your ebook content and packaging consider the eBook Income Generator Project designed to assist authors in the transition from manuscript to ebook like services publishers offer to authors of printed books. The workspace provides authors with immediate article copyright, content storage, workgroup access, and production tools. Authors can participate in book packaging options that range from do-it-yourself to full service graphic design and ebook output. Here you can take your project as far as you feel comfortable and know you can hand it off at any time for professional completion.

The eBIG Project has just started and you can still get in free before the commercial launch, but expect some shortages at this early stage. Right now it’s only available through subscription to the weekly Business Builder Report at www.h4h.biz.

Keyword Leverage
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 22nd, 2009| | No Comments »

Keyword relevance begins with supply and demand analysis to identify niche markets and the associated methods to integrate web marketing. The first step is to work up a keyword list that can be done using the Yahoo Overture Keyword Selector tool. http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion


The keywords indicate demand for information and products that can be used to profile your niche market. When you search the keywords that show highest demand on Google, the results will show indicators of supply to locate competition and complementary products.


From this data you can calculate the ratio or percentage of traffic probability using keyword phrases to determine market entry points. Also, if you currently have a product that is not selling well, you will need to learn exactly how to find out the precise reasons why, and then how to correct the problems or, in the worse case scenario, retire it and move on to selling something profitable.


Aspects of Keyword Integration


Keywords are important to search engine optimization (SEO). They are used for meta tags to help the search engine robots index your pages. Search engines also use the keywords to do comparative analysis for content and content change.


Each website competes for search engine prominence. To do this, each website needs to have a regular supply of fresh content that is consistent with keyword meta tags the site is indexed for.


In sales, opt-in, and squeeze pages, keyword content is essential to compete for SEO and prominence, especially if you are promoting your own product. The very first thing a visitor sees when arriving at your site is the headline or tag line. If the keywords are consistent with the search, then you have a chance to sell. Alternatively, if you are an affiliate promoting someone else’s product or product line, then make sure any promotion content you pay for is optimized to agree with the product site content.


A popular trend is to include keywords in product and domain names. It is an interesting twist to branding but is also an indicator of short-term product life cycle. Alternatively, the slower method of SEO branding of a company, theme, or product name that is not a keyword, may take more time, but indicates a desire to establish market presence for the long run.


Keyword integration is a process that is applied over time. The accumulation of keyword research, and a variety of combination testing, understates the fact that experience is never limited and it is never complete. As in any business, investment in time shown by how long it has been operating and how adaptable it is to change indicates credibility.


Writing for content is not only an accessible opportunity, it is also undervalued for the scale of demand. With the high demand for fresh content coupled with the low number of writers in the supply chain, one new entry, the eBook Income Generator Project, is positioned to deliver best ends by best means.

How To Leverage Your Ebook Income
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 22nd, 2009| | No Comments »

A common product to many marketing offers is an ebook, but not all ebooks are created equal. Once an ebook is written it can be sold or given away to promote another product or product line. Content can be written by you, or written by a ghostwriter for you, or you can purchase private label rights [PLR] on an existing ebook that you can modify, re-title and re-brand.

Ebooks are a good way to add value to a promotion. If you have written a new ebook then you can pick up some PLR ebooks to complement and increase the value of your offer.

Many of the ebooks bundled with promotions deliver content in ways that leave room for significant improvement. For example, some of the obvious features of a book are table of contents, headers or footers with page numbers, chapters with titles and sometimes sub-titles. If any of these hallmarks are missing from an ebook, then it can be improved.

If your product is too short to include the main traits of a book listed above, the terms booklet, report, or special report can be just as effective for promotion. Conversely, you can abstract content from PLR books or articles to supplement your project.

Although professional software and its use are essential to competitive advantage, it is not that expensive to hire a professional to package for you. Both money and time can be saved with a bit of planning to optimize your ebook profit potential. For the same price of some ebooks, you can purchase your own ebook income generator package from h4h.biz. The difference is how and how much money is returned to you on your investment.

As a professional packager I am always upgrading my software and skills. Like anyone who wants to earn income, there is a learning curve to the tools of the trade. On the internet, it includes the hardware, software, and skills in their use that determines how well your business performs in your market niche or sub-niche. Although software is a common denominator, how it is used is as different as the people using it.

There are a many good reasons to hire someone else to do a job better, sooner, or just get it done. For example, I am not a bookkeeper but I do have the same software as my bookkeeper. I know enough about using it to generate reports, but the rest I pay her to do. On the other hand, I’m a graphics specialist that uses most of the professional software on a daily basis. I manage my projects by sub-contracting surplus work to freelancers. This enables me to do as much work that comes my way while managing continual development of my business systems.
In my experience it is important to learn as much as you feel comfortable with about the tools of the trade because even if you don’t use them on a daily basis yourself, you place yourself in the position of being a well informed buyer that understands enough of the technical jargon to make an informed purchase.

When I taught at the Pre-Press Institute, I would break the learning curve into lecture, lab, and experience. The lecture was a combination of reading to prepare, then watching and interacting in a demonstration. The lab time was spent learning how to do-it-yourself with immediate feedback to questions as they were asked. I explained experience as the combination of learning to learn, practice without the lab feedback, and on-the-job feedback from colleagues or clients. I have adapted many features of this training model for internet delivery. It is now available by membership to my online project workspace. It is just a few clicks away.

The next part of this article is titled “7 Ways To Increase Ebook Income Potential”, and is available by subscription to my free weekly Business Builder Report.

Advanced Spyware Protection – it Does Exist
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 22nd, 2009| | No Comments »

Anti-Spyware

Earlier versions of anti-spyware programs focused chiefly on detection and removal. Spammers have also used infected PCs to target anti-spam organizations with distributed denial-of-service attacks.

This presents a dilemma for proprietors of anti-spyware products whose removal tools may inadvertently disable wanted programs. Anti-spyware programs can combat spyware. To accomplish their goal, this group of anti-spyware companies, academics, and consumer groups have collectively published a series of documents including a definition of spyware, risk model, and best practices document. This shows a trend by anti virus companies to launch a dedicated solution to spyware and malware.

If you really want to take the work out of looking for that right Spyware Protection from a Spybot go to the Internet and get a Free Spybot Download or a Spybot Search and Destroy

to prevent your vital information from being ripped from your computer.

Software

Spyware protection works the same way as that of anti-virus protection in that the anti-spyware software scans all incoming network data for spyware software and blocks any threats it comes across. Newer spyware programs also have specific counter measures against well known anti-malware products and may prevent them from running or being installed, or even uninstall them. Major anti-virus firms have come later to the table, adding anti-spyware features to their existing anti-virus products. However, recent versions of these major firms’ home and business anti-virus products do include anti-spyware functions, treated differently from viruses. Real-time protection from spyware works identically to real-time anti-virus protection: the software scans disk files at download time, and blocks the activity.

Protection

The public was able to meet face to face with the members of the Coalition, and many prominent members of the community, from anti-spyware vendors, advertising companies, and academia, spoke on panels dealing with many diverse issues. In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software components known to represent spyware. Find everything you need with the anti-spyware experts.

You really want to take the work out of looking for Protection from a lurking theif then you should get your free Spybot Downloads go to the Internet and get a Free Spybot Download or a Spybot Search and Destroy Download

Always Speak of a Very Funny Shirt Slogans
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 21st, 2009| | No Comments »

Well, I phrases that technicians would probably appreciate. If you keep on reading, please have a very open sense of humor. I mainly stick figures use of this list to simplify the concepts. Use your imagination to visualize these concepts.

The slogan is Chicks dig guys with big hard drives and the back shows a stick figure holding a hard drive in the lower area.

On the front of the shirt is a stick figure on a toilet with strong shaking binary 0 and 1 brimming on the sides of the bowl. The back of the shirt would read Packet Dump.

The front of the shirt would show 2 stick figures. The men will have a smile on his face and the girl must have disagreed. The pair hands will also touch separated by a few inches. The slogan on the front of the shirt read, Lost Connectivity .

I m not sure if anyone has thought of this idea, but actually make a hat and shirt that goes with a theme HTML. The hat reading, the shirt would read. I ve seen people with tattoos like this, but not sure if the mode of clothing ever made.

The front of the shirt would say, What sa Networker greatest fear? And the answer back, insecurity.

The front of the shirt is an image of hands slapping on the other hand that erases a cup of coffee. The back of the shirt would read, Denial of Service Attack .

Here sa great idea, a shirt that is covered with advertisements like, looking for a mortgage, sexual need improvements, etc. With the word SPAM displayed in large letters across the back.

The next technician shirt really does not have a slogan. The background color of the shirt is black. The front of the shirt would have yielded a computer screen with white lines, and back display the rear of the monitor in white lines.

That should be the next black shirt with white text of Untagged Port and put a down arrow on the back of the shirt.

Finally, excessive stick figure on the front huffing and puffing from exhaustion with the message, Runtime Error under the Constitution.

For all these ideas, the number 4 is not an original concept, but what would be great to see a whole

Why Dolly The Sheep Is An Icon Of Web Content
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 21st, 2009| | No Comments »

Original unique content on the web is like Dolly the cloned sheep and her lamb Bonnie, different yet the same. So let’s take a closer look at the nature of content.

Information can generally be divided as subject and object. The subjective character of a composition, theme, essay, article, or story is the creative part of content where ideas appear as a flow of information from writer to reader. The flow requires both subjective and objective inputs and outputs.

A subject always begins as original organic content. Writing subjective human idea source code is like a data transfer from an author to a storage medium like paper or computer equipment where the content is compiled or processed for use as an information product.

Objective composition can be measured in terms of form and function. The form can include elements like manuscript, headers, footers, page numbers, chapter headings, sub-headings, pictures, drawings, footnotes, endnotes, works cited, index, table of contents, lead pages, typography, cover, design, and layout to name a few.

The function includes accuracy of spelling, grammar, internal links within a document, and external links to other books, ebooks, and web “content”. Function can also include a range of output options that are device independent like a monitor screen or printer.

Since the words “original” and “unique” apply to both subjective and objective aspects of information, another distinction must be made to tell the difference. For example, the word organic can be used to distinguish a difference between a human using a search engine to find content and a robot or software being used for similar search activity. An organic, living, natural search involves both subjective and objective testing by means of reading but the robot search can only recognize the objective, synthetic, non-organic aspects of characters, words, and phrases in content. The distinction then can be expressed as organic original as opposed to synthetic original content.

The billion-page supply of synthetic non-organic content competes for market share with supply from comparatively few original organic content writers. Both use the same keywords to attract natural search but artificial methods obviously dominate the quantity of content available and also uses natural search un-naturally.

The all icing no cake professional package and marketing of unique artificial content significantly impacts quality by leveraging semantics for profit from content of marginal use value. Fortunately, the surplus of synthetic content also indicates an unusual demand for the real McCoy original organic content.

Interestingly enough this aspect of the interface of technology and culture is as developed as the obvious deficit between human and machine productivity. In other words although computer software can produce more content for less money at the click of a button, it can never produce original organic content, the source code only available from human writers.

The scarcity of original organic content is in the order of tens of thousands to billions or .0001 percent of all content. While this may explain why the synthetic type of content may leave some readers with an unsatisfied or empty feeling, it does not explain why scarcity of original organic content has not yet driven the income of writers through the roof. Does it not make sense then to leverage organic content for greater profit?

Article directories are one of the main funnels of original organic content into the web but do little to appreciate the value of this scarce resource or to distinguish it from the synthetic type. Not only do some directories promise recognition and links to authors’ sites in a so-called resource box in return for content, some charge the author to distribute to other directories. It’s like saying, pay me five bucks and I’ll take that gold off your hands and give you credit for it in a by-line.

Well that’s about to change because hiding in plain view, concealed in a most obvious place, is an unassuming Alliance to Refine Content. It’s a virtual needle in the internet haystack with some most unusual support features. Here the secrets of book publishing that include the art and science of packaging are starting to trickle into the internet at this quiet location.

While some infopreneurs have an idea of what ebooks can look like, or how they can function, or how to make money from them, the integration of form and function is expanded at this site to include how to make more money no matter who you are, what knowledge you have, or what niche you want to play in. Want to know more? Anyone is welcome to visit and join the Alliance to Refine Content.

An Introduction to Recruitment Software
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 21st, 2009| | No Comments »

hp job board software is a web server script that attempts to automate the working relationships between independent online employers (clients) and independent online employees (freelancers). Sometimes simply called a “script,” php job site software doesn’t run on an individual computer the way that typical software does. Its name is a bit misleading, but php job site software really runs on a web server rather than a desktop computer. A web server is the most appropriate environment for php job board software because it can handle millions of data requests whereas a desktop computer couldn’t possibly accommodate or fulfill this volume of queries. Nor could a desktop computer accommodate the potential growth that’s expected to occur with php job board software.


In its beginning stage of development or usage, a competent php job site software script should be able to handle hundreds of online client-to-freelancer relationships. But as its popularity increases and as more people sign up to use it, a single php job board software may be in the position of accommodating the needs of hundreds of thousands of users at once. And this does not include the massive amount of data that’s transferred between clients, freelancers, or the php job site software script’s administrator. At any given moment, a php script could be responsible for receiving, storing, and transmitting gigabytes of binary files, text documents, videos, sound programs and more. It is for that reason, a php script must account for growth and it must be configured in such a way that growth does not disrupt the flow of user activity.


You can expect growth to occur in the following areas of a php job board software script:


1. The number of user accounts. Over time, the number of people who use your php job site software script will increase as more clients, freelancers, and employers (should you decided to hire additional help) learn about its success.


2. The size and number of data transfers. At first, this value will be minimal, however as you attract new users, your php job board software script will have to successfully and accurately send files back and forth among users.


3. Server space. A competent php job board software script should vigorously keep logs as if it were writing its own history book. To accommodate such a wondrous piece of literature, it’s going to need ample space to log all interactions to a reliable record source. A MySQL database may be sufficient, however you may find yourself dispersing such a task among multiple servers and numerous back-up devices as time rolls on.


4. Conflicts. Running a php job board software script isn’t always about maintaining computers. Sometimes it’s about maintaining relationships and the larger your user base, the more conflicts are bound to occur. Conflicts can occur as a result of misinterpretations, financial discrepancies, job delays, and all sorts of other employment-related issues. To keep things running as professionally as possible, you are well advised to set up a customer relations department within your php job site software script and operate that particular section manually – with care.


5. Competition. As your php job board software script gains recognition and even gets a little attention from the media, it’s bound to attract a quite few copy-cats who want to replicate and claim your success as their own. This certainly isn’t a new tactic in the hard cold world of business, however you should anticipate such behavior and have defensive strategies outlined in your marketing plan that are designed to counteract its impact on your venture.


6. Hacks, Viruses, and Denial of Service Attacks. Not all of your users are going to be as caring with your php job site software script as you will be, and some of them might indulge in behavior that could make your php job board software script inoperable for hours, days, or even weeks at a time. Whether this behavior is intentional or not isn’t the issue. How you protect your php job board software script from this kind of behavior is this issue, so be sure that you have the proper tools that will prevent you from becoming the victim of such attacks.


Another area of growth you’ll want to prepare for is your responsibility as the administrator of a php job board software script. Although the best of these scripts have automated a significant part of their maintenance, your own participation in a growing and thriving venture is inescapable – a characteristic of administration that you should be honored to fulfill.

Ron McNeil promotes job recruitment software that allows you to run your own job board software site powered by WebScribble software located at http://www.webscribble.com/products/webjobs/

Paths To Profit Online
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 21st, 2009| | No Comments »

The path of least resistance is by nature the course most traveled. In economic terms this path is most difficult to measure at start up because no personal experience is present and so we must rely on the experience of others to guide us. Other persons experience at this point is theory and sold using a variety of techniques that every internet entrepreneur must choose from to get it.

My first impression of web marketing tactics was that there were many people offering their experience for sale as a quick and easy way to earn extraordinary income. Understandably there was no mention of what experience was brought to the theory of success before start up. Claims like “If I can do it anybody can, broke to riches in 30 days.” were allegedly proved by pictures of bank or pay statements. However, there was still a leap of faith or trust that did nothing to clear the view of start-up reality even after buying.

Competition for sales to new marketers is fierce because every one that has gone before tries to copy the tactics they have purchased only to discover a saturated niche. Competition in a saturated market is the first object lesson delivered and once learned used to open the door to the next level of opportunity. Alternatively, the experience may also be considered as a rite of passage that tends to be implied, not stated, and so acts to filter the short run opportunist from the long term business builder.

To help business builders better understand the economic value of experience, bitter and sweet, I’ll construct a simple view of start-up to better characterize the short and long term view to prosper.

Everyone who has chosen to earn money online enters the market at some point, and at some time. They bring whatever knowledge and skills they may have to bear upon the single goal of selling something for profit. Start-up then begins at this point and continues until income meets or exceeds what was being earned upon entry. In other words the first marker of progress is income replacement.

Income replacement occurs when average monthly income from internet business meets or exceeds present income. For example, $3,000 a month means the replacement income target would be $36,000. The time it takes to get there is the actual time it takes to start-up. Since there is no way to forecast this variable, genuine offers will usually include a disclaimer to this effect.

Time then is relative to variable factors like how much time you spend to learn, to build your business, and recover from choices that lead you in directions that may differ from your goal. While some may argue that the lower your present income is the shorter the start-up will be, the other side of that coin is setting a target income that enables a standard of living you need or desire. Now standard of living implies another variable of setting an appropriate income value as your start-up milestone.

Notwithstanding the well meaning and important value of being all that you can with visions and plans for future achievement, present reality is a stark contrast. For the purpose of this discussion it is the place from which measurement begins. So we must start by making a distinction between the present and the future standard of living.

To begin then, a standard of living is a measure of what you can afford to purchase with your present income. Typically, as income increases so does the standard of living. However, a common approach to improving living standard is to leverage earning potential by taking out a loan to buy what you feel improves your standard. This is a basic concept of leverage used both personally and in business. This form of credit is based on an optimistic forecast that the person or business can meet the payment obligations according to the terms. What makes this optimistic is to assume the basis for the ability to pay will stay the same or improve. Sometimes it doesn’t.

In economic theory, theory and practice are the same. In reality they differ. After all, why would anyone want to start an internet business with little money or time to invest except in the event the reality of their financial situation compels them to seek a path of least resistance to sustain or improve a standard of living. Now let’s return to putting a value on present standard of living and set an economic cornerstone.

First let’s disconnect living expenses from debt. This places present standard of living without debt as a number value or target value for replacement income. Debt and current income are variables. Time and experience then becomes your main assets on the path to prosperity where debt is short term, standard of living is paid up, and income meets demand. Once this point is reached start-up matures to business operation for the purpose of sustainability and growth. So the day you start to do business on the internet until you have paid your debts and have reliable recurring income that pays for your ongoing standard of living and business operating expenses is the day start up ends and business begins.

To put the time factor into some perspective here is an excerpt from an interview Ewen Chia did with Graham Hammer.

“Ewen: When did your ‘big break’ come and what was the turning point that changed everything?

Graham: My “big break” came when I set up Profit-Plan in 2002, but you’ve got to understand that “big breaks” don’t just “happen”. They are worked-for and hard-earned.

Let me explain… I started planning and constructing Profit-Plan in mid 2002 (it actually launched in late January 2003). But before I could construct the site, I had to learn how to write HTML pages, and I began that process in 2001. (I still write my pages “by hand” in raw text. I just feel it gives me more “control” over how the page looks.)

So a journey that appears to have begun in January 2003 with the launch of Profit-Plan actually began in 2001 when I picked up a book about HTML code. Profit-Plan was an instant hit, not least because the headline read….”Make a profit today, or your money back today” (which I guess shows the power of a great headline).”

The path of least resistance still requires the learning and practice of skills whether you pay large sums for trial and error or take a path of lower cost. The question is how much are you prepared to spend in time, money, trial and error to start-up your business. Fortunately for those with limited budgets there are options to start-up faster in a collaborative online workspace at low cost. The h4h.biz projects are well on their way to becoming the workspace of choice for those determined to walk the path to prosperity online.

Fickle Faces Of Spam
Posted by Black Bela in Hax0rcise on 07 21st, 2009| | No Comments »

According to Wikipedia, “spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited, undesired bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, and mobile phone messaging spam.

Spamming is economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.”

Underlying the stated assumptions about the cause and effect of spam, there are more considerations besides the knee-jerk reactions of some anti-spamers. For example in the same way improper use of any tool or media may arguably be cause for an undesirable result, the reaction can be just as undesirable.

Let’s start with e-mail. While word filters do work to reduce the arrival of a significant quantity of mail, aggressive filtering before a message gets to the reader leaves the filter operators in the same position as senders – difficult to hold accountable for their mass actions.

Furthermore, some spam filter vocabulary operates out of context only a reader can tell resulting in a non-human form of censorship that can also escape accountability. The growth in spam filter vocabulary compounds the issue of censorship in ways that depreciates the value of email communication in the first place. What’s the point of speaking your mind in an email that’s likely never to be delivered? [. . .and I thought the post office was bad]

While the purveyors of convenience, who are also no marketing slouches, continue to argue for stricter controls, ramp up their aggressive spam filter vocabularies, and unilaterally impose hyper-effective relentless machine censorship on millions of email transactions daily, their actions leave the basis of free speech cracking at the foundations.

Notwithstanding the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and countless other countries and international laws, anti-spam software is being used to suppress communication between human populations world wide without due regard for law or the right of the individual to make up their own mind whether to block the incoming spam or not.

Spam, it would appear, has become an undeclared tool for suppression of communication, a convenient propaganda control mechanism, and in many ways absolutely unnecessary if alleged whining and complaining email receivers are too lazy to filter their own damn email.

There is no law stating that you have to read your mail, electronic or paper. It is, after all, a choice. So what? Do we forego our rights to free speech because we’re too lazy to make our own choices and act accordingly? I don’t think so. In fact I think there is something fishy about the whole spam control mechanisms that we’re faced with today. I’ll let you concoct your own conspiracy theory around this idea because after all, each to their own freedom of ideas. Just don’t expect them to be delivered by email.

The argument of lost productivity and fraud also appears weighted in favour of Big business, Big government, and Big spook groups [BBB]. The vested interest in such special and comparatively small groups that control the majority of traffic in everything from genetically modified food to internet communication, speaks volumes for what civil rights activists call fundamental atrocities and loss of freedoms.

It is my prediction that it won’t be long before the majority of small business stakeholders, who significantly out weigh the minority BBB vested interests, become as well, or better, organized to defeat the spam scourge. Doing so will finally bring the fine art of social and economic combinatronic values back into focus and closer to the phantom called equlibrium hijacked by the BBB and so well covered up by semantical subterfuge.

One alternative in the internet information and disinformation twin deluge is a small life raft going by the auspicious name of Alliance to Refine Content. If you want to voice your opinion or knowledge why not get paid for it too?
