Dar vai, ce avem noi aici?

In timp ce o ascultam linistit pe Kim Wilde (pt mai tinerii cititori, Kim a fost in anii ’80 ce e acum errr, spuneti voi aici o cantareata sexy din zilele noastre), asa, asadar in timp ce o ascultam pe Kim imi apare frumusetea de banner din imaginea alaturata, sa-i scoatem pe greci din zona euro, da sau nu?

Trecand peste faptul ca romanii ar fi ultimii care ar trebui sa raspunda la o asemenea intrebare, ma asteptam sa fiu intrebat de Cipru, abia s-a intamplat, Grecia e un subiect „fumat”, asa ca dau click, impins de curiozitatea de a vedea cine foloseste domnule asa ceva si mai ales de ce o foloseste pe Kim pentru o astfel de intrebare.

Surprize, surprize, am ajuns pe wall-Street.ro, fix pe un articol din 4 noiembrie 2011!!! „Presa germana propune referendum pentru a scoate grecii din zona euro” URL-ul este cel original, source adwords + old banners.

Pe aceeasi tema, puteti citi la Dragos o poveste cu elemente de Hollywood, despre un alt succes fenomenal: Rol.ro.

P.S. acest post e un pamflet + e si o reactie la nelinistea managerului de la Internet Corp, compania care detine Wall-Street.ro, manager ce nu poate dormi gandindu-se la audienta de 10 persoane/numar a Ziarului Financiar.

Cati bani face Google in .ro?

Motto:

Sir Martin Sorrell, WPP: Two things that could stop Google: size (gets too big) or regulation

Conform datelor de la Ministerul Finantelor, Google Romania SRL a inchis 2011 cu venituri de 1.1 milioane de euro. Estimarile colegilor de la ZF indica 10 milioane euro bani plecati din .ro catre Google Irlanda, alte voci estimeaza 20 milioane euro, iar cei mai optimisti/pesimisti vorbesc de 30-40 milioane euro. Cert e un singur lucru, impozite se platesc pentru doar 1.1 milioane euro. Daca eram in anii ’90 ar fi mers un miting cu „Nu ne vindem tara” :)

Ce se intampla

Nu se intampla nimic, ambele reclame sunt prin Google, mea culpa. Cand pui Google pe acelasi spatiu unde rulezi reclama „clasica”: acelasi client, o data prin Google, a doua oara prin vanzatorii de la site (stiu, e o situatia speciala):

Me and Mark

Avem cel putin un subiect in comun, ne place Game of Thrones :) :

Saturday, Systrom was back at Zuckerberg’s to formalize the negotiations and come to an official acquisition agreement, which they would both sign. Their back-and-forth was interrupted by a television-watching party for Game of Thrones that Zuckerberg, an avid fan, was throwing. Systrom spent much of the time outside in the yard, on the phone to the lawyers. “I didn’t watch the show,” he says. Rather, he spoke to his investors to inform them of the decision and get a sign-off. “I sat back and thought, What just happened?,” Baseline’s Anderson recalls. “Holy shit—what just happened?”

Attackers/Defenders

And I realized the world of business really separates into these two groups. The attackers are the entrepreneurs who are disrupting the status quo, trying to change the world, take the hill, anything is possible, and have nothing to lose in most cases. They’re driven by passion and the idea and intensity. Large organizations — and it’s true of Fortune 500s and it’s also true of governments and other large organizations — are defenders. These guys aren’t trying to pursue the art of the possible, how to maximize opportunity. They actually are trying to minimize the downside, and hedge risk. They’re trying to de-risk situations. Entrepreneurs can’t even think this way. It’s not even a concept they understand.

For the traditional executives running these large companies, of course they want to grow, of course they want to innovate, of course they’d rather have revenue grow faster than slower, but they mostly don’t want to lose what they’ve got. But entrepreneurs are deathly afraid that they won’t be able to change the world, and that somebody else will. Again, these generalizations are a little unfair, but corporate executives are all too often deathly afraid that the business they inherit will be less valuable when they leave than when they started.

E simplu

Magento de la eBay + ERP de la Oracle = 1.5 milioane euro. Si cel putin un magazin online pe an.

Retailerul online de produse IT&C Koyos.ro, operat de compania International Transactions & Services (IT&S) a investit 1,5 milioane de euro într-o platform? care îi permite s? lanseze noi magazine online proprii sau ale altor companii, care în prezent au opera?iuni „offline“, dar vor s? se extind? rapid ?i pe internet, potrivit Danei Iorga, directorul general al firmei.

Pentru a putea gestiona mai multe magazine online, inclusiv ale unor parteneri, IT&S a implementat platforma MultiStore, furnizat? de compania Magento – de?i­nut? de americanii de la eBay ?i care a fost integrat? cu solu?ia ERP Oracle E- Business Suite. Dup? aceast? investi?ie vom putea lansa cel pu?in câte un magazin on­line propriu pe an, afirm? Dana Iorga.

Ca sa recapitulam, avem 3 4 5 marketplace-uri sau wanna be in acest moment: eMag.ro, elefant.ro si koyos.ro plus okazii.ro (thx Dragos) plus Zumzi.ro (thx Calin).
