Brooks Lambert didn’t come up with a great idea for a website by putting together a focus group or scouring throw Google keyword searches. He didn’t pour through marketing documents for nights on end or pay to go to retail conference after conference. When Brooks came up with the concept for www.thebeerbelly.com, he and his […]

In January, Jason Billingsley and I presented a webinar on holiday and special event marketing for online retailers. We also have a number of blog posts related to the topic.
There truly is much opportunity to get creative with special event promotions. Today happens to be February 29, the only day that comes around only once in 4 years. It ain’t no Valentine’s Day, but many creative e-tailers are taking advantage of leap year with $29 deals, 29% off sales and other offers - some using jumping or frogs in imagery. (My favorite is the Container Store’s “Leap year happens every 4 years. Filing your taxes doesn’t. Get organized today!”)

Last week, we wrote that the registrars were under increased pressure. Their higher-margin businesses, such as turnkey hosting, were threatened by third-party hosting, simplifiers like Google, and the trend towards distributed SaaS applications. The pressure went up a notch with Google’s relaunch of Jotspot, now running on the Google computer, as Google Sites. Google sent out a mail announcing the relaunch today:
Google Sites makes creating a team web site as easy as editing a document.
What’s most interesting about Sites is the sign-up process, which lets users either claim their domain or enter a domain they want.
The Sites enrollment process then offers to register the site through various registrars (of which GoDaddy is currently the only participant.)
Ironically, GoDaddy’s blurb on the registration page reads:
Email, calendar, instant messaging, web pages and more also at no extra charge.
It’s unlikely that people who come to set up a free site with Google Sites are then going to use GoDaddy to set one up. Definitely a bad year to be a registrar.

Well, it’s the end of the week and the end of the month - so it’s time to sit back and have a little chuckle. If you’ve ever given a Powerpoint presentation or been subjected to sitting through one, I’m sure you’ll “LOL” at this video!

If even one “hacktivist” were able to succeed in disrupting our Internet services, billions of dollars would be lost in eCommerce transactions. What’s a country to do?
