Very true but lost on the frenzy of the moment. Internet start-ups are running at a more hectic pace than ever before - if that's possible. I've been talking to a few private companies and a couple that are yet to emerge from the pink sheets and into the Internet lime light. The biggest obstacle most of these companies face is hiring people and scheduling things to get done. Selling their products and services is not that significant of a problem. Other aspects that need attention is creating a proper image both for their on-line presence and their presentation to investment community. The investment bankers are sniffing around to find likely prospects to take public - very aggressive pursuit of companies like I have never heard of before. They want more companies quickly to run up the IPO flag pole while the market remains this hot. The owners of the best of these businesses are getting dizzy from it all. I may have to go to work for one of these start-ups or help them to get on tract, for a price of course that hopefully will include stock options ; -). Proposals have been requested but it will take some fast work and sales on my part to put together. Too much to do and far too little time!

>>only 7% of the elite buy coca cola Speaking of Coke...does anyone ever see advertising on line by Coke, Pepsi, Budweiser, Miller, McDonalds, Marboro, etc? I've been surfing for years and have never seen a Coke advertisement on line. These are the big money advertisers. Most of the others I see are for other INTERNET related sites!
