Small companies doing big job of delivering broadband to rural areas

Posted on September 9th, 2010

Based in the unincorporated eastern Manatee County community of Myakka City, which has no stoplight to its name, this little company has only been able to exist because the big players — Verizon, Comcast and Bright House — had no interest in providing high-speed Internet service to the low-density rural byway.

But something big just happened for Myakka Technologies, the same thing that happened to tiny Indiantown Telephone Co.

Operate a Non-Profit?? –Then Get to Know Grants.gov

Posted on September 8th, 2010

What is a Government Grant?

Government grants are widely misunderstood. Much of the misunderstanding is due to less than truthful late-night commercials and “spammy” emails that tout “free government money” for individuals and businesses.

Truth be told – government grants are generally not available to start-ups or for-profit businesses. However, the federal government does provide grants to “…non-profits, educational institutions, (and) associations…”, as this article on Business.gov – “The Truth About Grants” – explains. Exceptions occur to these rules if you are a business engaged in certain federal research and development areas (read Grants.gov – What’s in it for Businesses? for more information).

Posted on September 7th, 2010

Hewlett-Packard filed a lawsuit against former CEO Mark Hurd today. Yesterday, Hurd agreed to join Oracle as co-president. HP claims Hurd is violating his confidentiality agreement and will reveal the HP’s trade secrets to competitor Oracle. The agreement was part of Hurd’s severance package.

Area feels more pain in slump

Posted on September 6th, 2010

New construction is down on both of Florida’s once-booming coasts. On the east coast, though, counties are reporting 30 percent declines from the boom, while every county between Manatee and Lee has recorded at least a 74 percent drop in the value of new construction.

In Sarasota and Lee counties, the decline has been more than 90 percent.

The new figures, based on a Herald-Tribune analysis of reports from the state’s 67 county property appraisers, come as no surprise to Bill Dooley, chief executive of DooleyMack Constructors Inc., a Lakewood Ranch-based contractor with five offices around the state.

“I certainly think it’s down 80 percent on this coast,” Dooley said. “We are extremely busy over in Fort Lauderdale.”

That is in Broward County, which actually reported a 13 percent increase in new construction for 2009, though the county is still down 31 percent since the peak of the boom in 2006.

Nationally, construction spending hit a 10-year low in July, according to the Associated General Contractors of America.

Varolo makes ads work for you

Posted on September 6th, 2010

Nobody particularly likes watching ads – just look at the proliferation of technology designed to get around watching them. From DVRs to pop-up blockers, any technology that carries ads will soon see some innovation designed to get around it.

With that in mind, and the usefulness of internet marketing still in doubt, a Utah-based company called Varolo has turned the traditional model of advertising on its head. Instead of paying big media companies to show you ads, Varolo pays you to watch them, and rewards you for bringing more people into the Varolo fold.

By building a “village” of friends, you can earn money on the ads watched by all the people in your Varolo social network, and you guarantee that the ads will be relevant to you and your peers. If you’re shopping for a car, you could earn rewards on Varolo by watching auto ads. Read full article…

Whether you are writing a white paper for your business or applying to business school, it’s always a safe bet to get your paper looked over by another set of eyes. Paper proofreading and editing services allow you to get it done quickly and without having to ask a colleague or friend for a “favor”

We spent some time looking at the various paper editing and proofreading services online and in the process came up with a list of ten important things to consider.

1. Deadline

Think about when you will be completing your paper and when it is due. It is also important to consider when you want to receive the paper back from the editor to allow yourself sufficient time before your deadline to review their suggestions and arrange your final draft. Does the website have a service for the time-frame? Also realize that you can get the best rates for proofreading services by completing your paper in advance.

2. Cost<
