I majored in political science in college, and even worked in the field for a while.Here are a few unvarnished observations/opinions based on the conversation I had today:Politics are politics. Gove

Interactive voting systems have a wide versatility. Some companies use them to make their events more enjoyable - more like a game for involving participants than a mechanism for obtaining feedback; but there are also companies that see interactive voting as a means for triggering debates that would otherwise be more difficult to generate.This is the case of real estate consultancy CD Richard Ellis Spain, which, for over a year now, has been using the PowerVote system at customer events organised by the company's marketing department. "These are themed real estate seminars at which we sound out client opinions on relevant aspects of the sector," explains Gorka Anitua Valluerca, the consultancy's marketing manager.Read more...

Car Forum Participation And The Benefit It BringsBy: Alex BaummWith increasing number of car technologies, car models and car issues, participating in a car forum will prove to be very rewarding for any car enthusiasts who want to be clarified about things that relate to car industry.Car forums may take the form of car forums for brand new models of cars from various auto makers or car discussion boards about the latest edition of cars from a single company. There may also be car forums that discuss common problems about car engines and anything about autos.

You register for ICQ and Windows Live Messenger to connect with others, you joined forums for discussions and you set up a blog to get your message across to others.

What is an alternative investment? First, let us define what an “alternative investment” is. When the average investor is asked about his investments, you are surely to hear the most common answers. Usually, it is with a company’s 401K, an IRA, bonds, stocks and maybe even options. If he is a bit more diversified, it may include real estate or annuities. In the past few years, you may have heard about hedge funds or trading the Forex currency market as a form of alternative investments. While this is an “alternative” to mainstream ways of investing, it does not encompass all the varieties of investments available to those that want to look outside the box. An alternative investment can be any type of investment that can bring you an above average return from investing in areas outside the norm of stocks and bonds. It does not always have to be a form of tradable securities to be classified as an alternative investment. Examples of this would be rare coins, books, stam

With the introduction of the “nofollow “ by Google in 2005, Most popular blog platforms have added it to its comments and reader submitted links which in turn has affected the participation of many bloggers to leave comments on other peoples blogs. Many bloggers believe in the removal of this “nofollow” rule. What is “Nofollow”? As mentioned, Google started this in 2005 to reduce the effectiveness of spam, therefore improving quality of search engine results and overall reduction of spam. It was designed by Blogger.com and basically it removed the value of Page rank from the link. => Read more!

I used to dominate the basketball court.Making off-balance jump shots, sinking fade-away 3-pointers, slashing through the lane, functioning as a impenetrable defensive wall, banking sky-hooks from the free throw line; it was all part of the show. Playing hard for two hours straight was a drop in the bucket. Long after my opponents were worn down, I was taking it to them.Yes, I was an all-star every year I played on the Spellman family home-school team. Functioning as both big man and little man, point guard, power forward, and center, our team dominated our opponents, who looked mysteriously like my siblings and other middle school kids in the youth group.6 1/2 years of formal education later, you might be able to say I've lost a little of my competitive edge.Whereas I once wore this as I dominated the court,I now wear this when I enter the full-court frenzy.Suffice it to say, that the rhetorical question could not be answered in the affirmative 12 1/2 minutes into the game.

I got in line to receive and send a traveling journal just to see what that was like. It was finally my turn to get it a few days ago, so I was pretty excited. I made my contribution and sent it out to the next person. Then I went online with the inspiration to begin my own traveling journals.Since I have a few blank journals laying around, I thought I could put them to better use by letting them travel the country collecting snippets of people who make entries in them. I just sent out two journals that I started with the first traveling journal I received.The traveling journal I contributed to was Journal 1704, an art journal which is meant to be contributed to by a handful of people. You can view my entry here. The traveling journals I began are Journal 1952 and 1955. Journal 1952 is a journal in which anything of writing or art can

According to a press release issued today by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the participation of the U.S. military in an upcoming evangelical rally violates the Constitution. It seems like the military would have more important things to do besides endorse evangelical Christianity.The event at Stone Mountain, GA, is being promoted as a Memorial Day celebration, but Americans United notes that the program describes a Christian worship service and emphasizes evangelical outreach. The celebration is hosted by Lifeway Christian Stores and Task Force Patriot USA.According to Task Force Patriot USA’s Web site, the organization exists “for the purpose of sharing the fullness of life in Jesus Christ with all U.S. military, military veterans and families,” and “Christ is our Commander-in-Chief.” The group’s logo is a shield centered with a Christian cross with its sides bracketed by an American flag and Christian flag.It does not sound like there is any doubt a

While newspapers and other classic media are on the decline, blogging is burning a hole in the roof. This is mostly due to the reader-author-community interaction. Word of mouth should be the holy grail for any blogger. So here are: Seven Ways To Entice Reader Participation 1. Contest One of the best ways to get bloggers to participate is by holding a contest. Whether you’re giving away money, prizes or links; people want free stuff, and even more so they want to win. Start a contest, such as my Donation Contest or better yet, Darren Rowse’s Writing Project . 2. Meme I am still surprised how many people don’t know what a Meme is. A Meme is a conversation starter, such as a question or assignment, in which you ask other bloggers by “tagging” (linking tag bloggers, they tag more bloggers, and everyone tags to the original question asker. A good way to draw attention to yourself. 3. Newsletters Newsletters are supreme in permission marketing. They give you a
