Why? Everyone loves that questions!
"I believe psychiatry says we can never know why - what really motivates behavior (beyond seeking pleasure & avoiding pain). On the other hand, when asked "Why are we here?" Comic Professor Irwin Corey said: "You have actually asked 2 questions" - "Are we here? Yes!"; "Why...is a question that has plagued mankind since the beginning..." (You don't know how many years I've been holding onto this - since the '60's!) businessavante"Some Simple Reasons As To Why Your Content May Not Be Spreading
"I especially liked the part about blogs w/too many ads, Jason. Pop-ups are extremely annoying, and the flashing ads sometimes make it impossible to read the text. Do I read the ads - never (I'm immune to them). Sometimes I magnify the page to 400% to avoid the flashing - if that fails, I click out & forget it. It's obviously a blog that's not meant to be read at all, by anyone, ever. businessavante"Don't Let Outdated Thinking Allow Your Business To Go Up In SMOKE! (Article & Video)
"In the old days, surgeons would smoke in the O.R. When I worked in a local hospital ('00-'08), respiratory therapists would take smoke breaks - till smoking was finally banned 11/07 - then they'd go across the street & puff in front of the Funeral Home (no kidding). Go figure? I lost my mother & older brother to smoking in 2000 - cancer & emphysema, respectively. I've the hated tobacco industry since I was a kid, hearing my mom cough her lungs out every morning - till a few years ago. I don't want to live to be "old"-old - I'd take up smoking now, but it's too late to get a good cancer going (in my mid 50's). businessavante"Don't Let Outdated Thinking Allow Your Business To Go Up In SMOKE!

"Hi Rochelle, Big tobacco finally fell when internal whistle blowers proved (via paper work) that big tobacco had done their own studies that also proved cigs caused cancer, and that nicotine was addictive. It also proved they increased the level of nicotine to further hook the victims. All along they had maintained that their research said tobacco caused no ills, and that cigs were not addicting. Lies! All Lies! (proven!) businessavante "Measure Ad Impact – How To Measure Advertisement Effectiveness Part 2
"Mike, this is the best article on measuring I've ever seen - it goes way beyond the usual articles w/similar titles! Sure, we can meter Adword clicks, but what about all the people who saw the ad & Didn't click? Interesting! I tweeted & shared it. businessavante "Subscribe
Social Media for Business: The perils of staking professionalism against popular opinion
"I totally agree vis-a-vis TMI, Sarah. Since you brought up politics, as a moderator here at BizSugar, I'm wondering how many posts in 2012 will actually be political rants thinly disguised as being small business related. The idea is dreadful & repugnant (regardless of which party gets smeared). I love articles drawing analogies to non-business areas - sometimes they're riveting, but in 2012 let's hope people can separate business from personal political messaging! (I'm getting this out a whole year early, I know.) businessavante "
