My two cents on MarketWatch and The Wall Street Journal blog
This morning, I commented on Theresa Poletti's MarketWatch article about some Internet startups cutting costs in order to increase their chances of survival during this economic downturn. And once I had the comment bug, I couldn't stop.
Shelly Banjo wrote a post on Independent Street (the blog of The Wall Street Journal) about small businesses doing well despite the rocky economic conditions, but a curious trend in decreasing salaries nonetheless. So of course, I put in my two cents there as well.
The bottom line: The Internet is a resource that companies can harness to cut costs and increase the reach of customers that they can service.
As I said in my comment, necessity is the mother of invention.
The web is a TOOL to serve businesses and entrepreneurs and represents a great opportunity in today's climate for existing companies to become more productive and for people to start new businesses where they see real needs being unmet. None of these business require venture finding and all of them can be started quickly if the right software development tools are used.
