The Golden Rule

 How are Social networks are different now than in the time of Web 2.0 from the the less interactive web is a huge question.  I searched for a quote that goes something like It is impossible for me to remember what it was like before I knew the thing I now know.

I met my wife on a social network before Facebook was available to anyone but students at Harvard University. Communication on that site was a little like passing notes in high school.

The speed, power and possibility make be dizzy when I consider all that is possible for business and society as a whole.  Then I consider how so much of what is posted should be kept quite.  I must be getting old. 

I have posted a video similar to one posted for CSIT 155 The Web 2.0.

responsibility and expectation

AJ Recovery Solutions is collections service serving California small businesses. We understand the collection process. The goal of this blog is to address some of the issues involved with getting paid.
First we believe that when money is past due to you the first thing you need to do is communicate with your client.  When it comes to collecting money due, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The best way to prevent accounts from becoming delinquent is with great service, clear expectations and strong communication.
I want to start with a story my friend Larry told me.  Larry was a VP of a bank.   When he started with the bank he reasoned that loans were how the bank made money so he wanted to learn about making loans.
One of the most important things he did before he presented the loan papers to the customer was to tell the customer their signature means they are promising the will repay the money borrowed.  Even if difficult times come loss, misfortune and bankruptcy or whatever if you take this money you will pay it back. That is what you are agreeing to.
He says that over the years many people paid money they could have avoided.  Larry believed they paid because he made it clear what the responsibility and expectation was.
I am sure my friend is on to something.
