I came through an interesting case study of Facebook.com, the famous online social networking site at present. i am impressed the way they established their site from the beginning. Facebook was launched in February 2004 by Harvard undergrad students as an alternative to the traditional student directory. Its popularity quickly spread to other colleges in the US by word of mouth, and the site now registers close to 15M monthly UVs and over 6B page views per month.Facebook is already generating significant revenue(the latest was a rumored $750M offer), so despite all the valuation and web traffic metric hype, it has also established a very real business. 1) Provide pre-existing offline commun...

If a person becomes a billionaire, there cannot be single factor responsible for this. Combination of all factors only makes a man millionaire. As you know only a multifaceted talent can be called a genius.

He's ballooned across the Atlantic, floated down the Thames with the Sex Pistols , and been knighted by the Queen. His megabrand, Virgin , is home to more than 250 companies, from gyms, gambling houses and bridal boutiques to fleets of planes, trains and limousines. The man even owns his own island. And now Richard Branson is moving onward and upward into space (tourism): Virgin Galactic's Philippe Starck-designed, Burt Rutan-engineered spacecraft are slated to start carrying passengers into the thermosphere in 2009 , at $200,000 a ticket. Branson also has a philanthropic streak. He's pledged the next 10 years of profits from his transportation empire (an amount expected to reach $3 billion...

I feel YouTube brought the popularity of viewing videos online with the growth of internet and technology. It had been the fastest growing website in Internet history with an average of 100 million videos streamed and 65,000 new video clips are uploaded per day.More than 13 million unique visitors per month. An average user spends 30 minutes on YouTube and most uploaders are repeat visitors themselves, within the age group of 18 to 35 year-olds. 58% of Internet videos are watched on Youtube, 20% to 30% of traffic volume is from the US and 30% to 40% of the content is copyrighted. There is a clear correlation between eyeballs and copyrighted content. YouTube was launched when social networks ...

Many companies are turning to a new kind of enterprise resource planning software. This new model is much more affordable, provides faster return on investment, is easier to implement across an enterprise, provides superior connectivity and is highly configurable. Browser-based, open-source ERP applications hold many advantages over the traditional legacy based software systems of the past. They are easier to modify and customize, for one. This ease of configurability opens up the door to agility - changing the software system to take advantage of new opportunities or changes in the market for optimal positioning. The software can change as quickly as the company can. This new type of ERP is not "open source" in the usual sense of the term. The meaning of open source for this type of application is that the source code is modifiable, but not available to the general public. It is modifiable by the provider or the individual buyer. This is advantageous to buyers with IT resources...

Financial engineering has provided innumerable lucrative opportunities for otherwise indigent mathematicians Nevertheless the turbulence in the bond markets in the last couple of months, at a time when the world economy’s prospects seemed set fair, have exposed a guilty secret of the financial engineering profession: its methods don’t work. First area of failure is liquidity. Theoretically, if financial engineers design ever fancier artificial securities and derivatives, but everybody uses the same mathematical models to value them, there is no reason why an active market should not operate in the securities, at whatever price the models direct. In practice this only works in calm markets. In times of market turbulence, when doubts arise about either the mathematical models themselves or the underlying assets from which value is derived, the true value of these artificial assets becomes thoroughly unclear. Buyers assess their value at the lowest possible level, and refuse to...

Most IT project evaluations are like the tail wagging the dog. They begin with IT strategy, rather than the goals of the business. In fact, IT strategy should be the third link in a chain that begins with business strategy, which in turn governs the product or service strategy, which then drives IT strategy. Lets understand this with a mid size CRM company Business strategy: Increase the customer base by 20 percent in the next year by providing increased functionality such as business operations analytics and executive dashboards. Product strategy: Develop an alliance with a business intelligence (BI) software company to add analytical capabilities to the CRM software. IT strategy: Create a new software platform that allows for easy integration with the BI software company and others. IT projects: Develop a Web services–based platform that offers universal data exchange and messaging between the CRM software and the BI software. While this hierarchy reveals whether IT projects...
