I would say that, in general, stuff you buy in Barcelona is more expensive – whereas eating/drinking out is cheaper than the UK. But the sales/rebajas are something else: a full-on retail reductions frenzy. So today I braved the shopfloor – I haven’t dared so far – and bagged the following, for under 60 Eur

Internet Based Business Emailing Tips for New Internet Marketers

If you have only recently developed a website and want to earn an income as an internet marketer, then your first task will be to begin building an emailing list. The best method for doing this would be by utilizing both your website and a blog, but unless you become known as an expert in your chosen niche, getting people to subscribe to your list will not serve you well unless you can build a relationship with these subscribers and get them to feel that they can trust you and the advice you give to them. So how will you do this, especially if you are new to internet marketing and don’t feel that you have the necessary expertise?

Yet Another Service Profession to be Revolutionized by IT

As in healthcare, here is yet another claim — of the ‘bellicose grandiosity’ variety — that IT will “revolutionize” a service profession. From TheHill.com: White House budget director blames old computers for ineffective government By Ian Swanson – 1/14/2010 A big reason why the government is inefficient and ineffective is because Washington has outdated technology, with federal workers having better computers at home than in the office. This startling admission came Thursday from Peter Orszag, who manages the federal bureaucracy for President Barack Obama.

Agenda setting has a little brother, priming, sometimes called second order agenda setting. Priming effects of communication are important for decision making, for example which candidate to vote for in an upcoming election
