Google Buys Modern Day OAG – Sets Sights on Travel: I’m sure many of you remember the days when Compuserve was owned by H&R Block and one of the many online services offered (very early in the game) was reserving an airline ticket. The provider of that information was OAG (or Official Airline Guide).
It was a time that just being able to do it and know it was a ‘done deal’ was exciting for many of us.

Prince Lays Internet to Rest
Since his arrival on the music scene in 1978, Prince has fostered a well-deserved reputation for defying definition and creating trends. Over the span of his long and storied career, no two Prince songs have ever sounded the alike. He has also applied his innovative spirit to the marketing and distribution to his music. Who could ever forget when Prince boldly changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol and scrawled “slave” across his cheek in protest of Warner Bros. withholding his music?

Many business owners consider that having high traffic levels is enough for a website to be successful and compensate their web marketing efforts. However, although traffic is a good criterion to measure the success of your website, it’s not enough. It takes a number of factors that need to be evaluated to assess if your website performs well with regard to your marketing goals. Then, you need to measure actual results against marketing goals and assess if your website is successful and what needs to be done to improve its performance.

Electrolux will use ocean plastic to make eco-friendly vacuums
June 29th, 2010 by David Hagen
Vacuum maker, Electrolux is jumping on the green bandwagon with its latest marketing campaign designed to offer consumers a contrast to BP’s marketing tactics.
Shortly before its recent environmental woes, BP switched its logo to a sunflower in green and yellow colours and changed its campaign slogan to ‘beyond petroleum’. However, its ongoing ecological disaster has continually undermined its move to ‘go green’.
Electrolux, however, has decided to take a different approach with an impeccably timed scheme to take plastics from the ocean and use them as material in their vacuum cleaners. According to Electrolux CEO Hans Straberg, the oceans are filled with waste from discarded plastic, but manufacturers are complaining of shortages on recycled plastic on land. Therefore, he added that using plastic from the oceans would help manufacturers make their products sustainable and consumers maintain a greener home environment.
