How true
Current global crisis
Dollar rates are falling and the dollar value is at an all time low. US is facing crisis or recession and it is going to have a huge impact on the indian economy. The worst hit might be the IT sector.

Oil prices at record high
When a barrel of oil cost $50, everyone complained that is very high. Now it crossed $100 and currently barrel of oil costs $111 approximately. Now the real trouble starts.
It started with a red paperclip
This guy called kyle MacDonald who bartered his way from a small red paperclip to a house through a series of trades. this is very interesting. Who would have thought that he will end up with a big house. If someone would explain me this idea before its success, i would have definitely write that off.
He is also guinness world record holder for most successful Internet trade. Check his blog: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/
Permission marketing by godin
With my limited knowledge, i can say that godin is the god of market. Here is something that i learned from his blog. Its called permission marketing. We all know what permission marketing is. But i never put a name for that and called it so. Also, i never analyzed the merits and demerits of it.
If a company does marketing to only those people who are interested by seeking their permission then it is called permission marketing. I see this as a very positive move. Companies advertise their products to you only after getting your approval. How cool is that? You won’t get unsolicited calls from banks asking you to apply for their credit cards.

Attention – seeking,earning,demanding
Seth Godin’s views are so amazing that i started to like the way he look at things. Here is some thing he wrote on attention.
Can i have your attention or can i have your ATTENTION. Of course not, you cannot have my attention. You can either earn my attention and you can beg/seek my attention. If none of these works, then you may demand my attention. But how in the world can you have my attention. But “Can i have your attention” is the accepted vernacular in English.
Pretty weird..and a tad interesting.
