The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary. www.onlineuniversalwork.com The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars.

Failure to state the time frame is sloppy and leads to misunderstanding. I hope the writer is incorrect about health care legislation being dead. According to most experts, failure to enact health care legislation will contribute greatly to the fededral debt. But health care is about more than the money. Our moral values require that health care be available to all, not only the wealthy, the healthy, the old, and those employed by businesses with health insurance.
