I read Business 2.0 magazine cover to cover as soon as I get it.

Tidbits/ideas/todos from most recent article:

  • entrepreneur designs ads for business rooftops so you can see their logo when using google earth or satellite images
  • Somethinglocal.com should take note of how an Oregon bank installed music download kiosks in every branch. Free tunes from local artists and you can burn a CD for $8. If you open an account at the bank you burn the CD for free.
  • doodle whiteboards at google for employee expression/fun/culturalexpression
  • check out digg.com
  • how Ryanair gives away free airline tickets and charges for everything but
  • simple idea of online cards created by actual usersthat paid nicely for Firefox. Maybe we can let our IPCs design cards and use the best ones. p.92
  • SAIC rewards a big contract by giving a tiered bonus to everyone on up, sort of like a network marketing company rewards the whole group for sales, not just one person. Most of the Best Kept Secrets section are fascinating.
  • Geekcorps is like peacecorps but they teach tech skills!
  • Check out I-O Display Systems I-theater. Your ipod screen could look giant! Plus, they have an affiliate program (10% commissions!)
  • Find a free wireless network wherever you are (print it before your trip!). Not one listing for Orem, but in there is one at the Juice 'n Java - 280 W 100 N in Provo.

Misses:

  • The story on Hello Kitty receptionist kisoks - DUMB
  • Souped up (overkill) SUVs for execs that get even worse gas mileage than regular SUVs…less than 8mpg!! Shouldn't people with money find a way to get the same benefits with less damage to the environment?! This bugs my hippie heart!
