Briefing.com....Gets It..... >>Briefing.com finds it intriguing that even while portals an ecommerce companies are claiming their power lies in the ability to track customers and customize sales pitchs, other companies, like Novell, are developing products to defeat such systems.>> It's now up to Wall Street to scramble to review some or all of it's lunatic Internet valuations that have been supported by the premise that this end-game was already "portalized". Bottom line, the portals and ALL other Old Business model world enterprises which were built on the same "old" premise - ie. they gotta come to me/us - are all houses of cards. Strong foundations for growth in the digital/virtual world are NOT built by treating clients like dummies, "track<ing> customers and customiz<ing> sales pitchs. Shining, spinning, attracting, impressing - ie. marketing/selling - is yesterday's game. The Internet abhors mass and arrogance. Like a heat seeking missle these portals of power will be fractured, leveled and arbed into a new existence which will have to reach out and connect with "the individual" more and more. The new game is all about humbly treating the INDIVIDUAL with the greatest respect - for the power, choice, and foundation of ALL things going forward rests with their TRUST.....period. Go Higher, reach out, touch someone and earn their trust. The Internet.... It's "The Individual, stupid...." Individuals connecting with individuals in chained, linked, channels of trust is the END GAME. Should Novell be valued as a lunatic stock? Are the masses crazy? Is there power behind Novell's model? An unbundling feast lays before us..... Good night. GO!!
