The Global Economy and Business

Some months ago I wanted to develop some special software for my company and I started to search for a company which can do it for me. I was even shocked by the variety of  web development companies working in this field and offering all kinds of services. It took me quite a lot of time to sort out at least some companies and to study the work of the programmers more carefully. In fact I wanted a cheap company, but after reading some reviews and feedbacks, I understood that it’s better to pay more and to have good quality. One more thing which is very important is the presence of the company on the international market. This only proves that the companies work is more prominent.
So I have found what I wanted the site started working in some months.

“It’s so terrible I have put on weight again. My dietician will be  furious. What can I do?” These are words of one of my friends who has just rushed into my flat. I said to her to calm down and I promised that we will find the solution. We decided to surf the net  for some specific sites and forums. And here is the solution – mobile applications pedometer for iPhone.  There are so many reviews from people who have used it. So we bought it and we liked it both. You install it on the phone and carry it with you all the time. At the end of the day you check the number of steps and see the number of burnt calories. Also it helps to set up goals about calories for the next fixed period.  So you can control the whole process itself.
So my friend has lost all the extra kilos and she wants to lose more only  because of this new iPhone mobile application.

I have come across an article which deals with the problem: who is better in developing a website? A website development is really important nowadays in our competitive world where you need to be the best and that’s why only the professionals can help you. I don’t think that a fan can do it better. Of course there can be exceptions and fans can develop a site, but a site should work all the time. I don’t think that fans are able to maintain it working properly on a good level. To support a site and to make it successful you need a team of professionals who have been doing it for quite a lot of years.

I’m sure that eCommerce companies selling tremendous number of products face great difficulties with bounce rate. It’s called “phenomenon of choice”. When people see a lot of different products and their variations they don’t know how to choose from such a big choice. Just for example lets compare variants on the site of Environmental Express:

5mL Vial with Filtering Cap

5mL Vial (Vial Only)

5mL Vial and Cap without Filter

So, what to choose? It seems that I need to hire a special consultant to make this really simple choice.

I think that it’s better not just to present the list of products, but help people to make choice.

The same situation happens while making choice from the following lists:
BOD Bottles
HotBlocks
Distillation Systems

Some online gambling sites prefer creating and using their own online gaming software instead of cooperating with other online software gaming companies. That is usually called ‘proprietary software’.

What are the advantages of using proprietary software? The biggest advantage is the possibility to find a unique style, atmosphere and look. Unfortunately, the questions of security and reliability can be a big problem. Small sites can’t guarantee non-stop play unlike large poker rooms or online casinos.

But at present online gambling is probably the most profitable business online. If you decide to create own gaming website , you will need little start up money and reliable best casino software .

I guess most people understand what online casino is. In fact it’s practically the same as offline casino. The only difference is probably in the fact that creating online casino doesn’t require big money. It can be done by any person who has several hundred dollars and the computer with the internet access. Now you should only type ‘casino’ for sale’ or ‘buy casino software’ and Google will give you hundreds if not thousands of results.

Why don’t you start your own casino? The main thing is your desire. If you want something, you’ll get it.

You have to start with quality hosting with the possibility of adding databases and registering the domain. Then you have to buy casino script and upload it on your hosting. Through the admin section customize your online casino and your casino is ready! But if you want people know about your casino, you have to promote it on the internet. The quickest way is contextual advertising.

Of course, it’s quite complicated to get big profits as it is one of the most competitive businesses online but as a small home business it will be ok.

Friday is a good time to think about something not connected to work. This Friday I want to write a few words about coming summer and beachwear.

So, when thinking about summer I always think about vacations. While thinking about vacations I think about going to the sea side. While thinking about sea I can’t stop thinking about beautiful girls in designer bikini…

I have a lot of friends working in banks, local authorities and so on. Almost all of them believe that if you work for official organization you have to wear boring clothing. they say that fashion trends are not for everyday life.

So, I decided to check this and went to designer clothes store (searched Google). As a result I’ve found some really coll clothes that can be characterized as business style. Please, tell me if I’m not right:

Dolce & Gabbana Good-looking Black Men’s Dress Shirt for Less

Price: $129.99 / €102.09

Killah Fashionable Black Women’s Dress For Less

Price: $97.49 / €76.56

Sometimes we have to deal with a kind of strange customers. They may take anything you have without even asking a word. The only thing they tell you is that they are smart enough to choose by themselves.

The others want to know every single operation that you have to perform in order to provide them with the quality product. They believe that controlling every part of the process is the right way to get what they want. Something like that: “I want to order Symfony Web Application Development because my previous site was on Ruby on Rails and I didn’t like how long it took me to have it done. And please don’t use php 5.2 as I’ve heard of a new HTML standard coming soon” :))) It’s hilarious. In fact you may sit near the professional and even know that he’s cheating you but you’ll never find how he does that…

Just a good quote: “If you want to help your son then do it with him, if you want to help your friend then do it yourself, if you want to help a professional then don’t bother him, if you want to help a fool then you are a fool”.

Here is the complete article from ActiveRain site - social network of realtors and other real estate professionals. Interesting conclusion but I cant believe that it can really be so influential…

Today I think that nobody will deny that financial crisis impacted almost every industry of the world economy. But in the real estate industry it did the greatest harm as we can see. It has eliminated the stability and people’s beliefs in that stability that was usually associated with the real estate industry.

I have analyzed the situation during the last moth and came to an interesting conclusion. Ordinary people are still looking for that stability. They started to evaluate companies from that point of view. One of my clients said that he spends time and counts the number of ads printed in the newspaper from the local RE companies. He believes that if company decreases it’s advertising budget this means that company is loosing it’s positions… And visa verse, if a company continues to publish the same number of ads it speaks in its favor.

To go forth I have heard almost the same regarding the office decoration and even the clothes of the personnel. People start to pay attention to the cost of clothes of their realtor… Many of them believe that if realtor wears the same shirt and jacket it means that his financial position is really poor… And they start to look for another agent. Is it fair? Of course, no! But what can we do with people’s beliefs…

We can and have to hide the after-effects of financial crisis. We may do a lot of easy and cost-effective things – paint the walls in the office (they will look fresh) and buy some new designer clothing with discounts. It’s easy to find some really good fashionable shirts and pants from the 2008 collection online. By the way, my favorite is foreverfashion.com
