CES ... Novelty Gift Idea

1月

5日

You must have a clear bag when you go to any event in the US. This is to protect people from possible terrorists. As I understand, the novelty gift for CES (Las Vegas) Press people this year is a clear backpack. This will be a good novelty gift.

Beginning of The Year Internet Traffic

1月

4日

This is less than half of what we were exception.
Bigger traffic will be coming on the 10th.

I think the true test will be on the 10th of January (9th is Holiday in Japan 成人の日) to test our servers. Today, there are some people in Japan started to work but no as much.

Even new year and after the golden week in May, we have to watch the servers and traffic very carefully.

Long Long Time Ago, Galaxy Far Far Away ....

26日

No, it's not that long time ago and it's not too far away. My daughter found a business card from about 20 years ago. This was when we were just launching our Internet Hosting Business.

From this business card ...

(1) We had a domain name pspinc.com
(2) The company was known for Double Byte Specialists (Do you know what is mean?)
(3) Telephone number ended 8080 (What is 8080?)
(4) Email address was ken@pspinc.com (It is not used anymore)
(5) My title was president

Banner Bank has invited me to a Seahawks game last week. It is an ultimate entertainment for people in Seattle. What does your company consider an entertainment for your clients and possible clients. I wish we get to the point we can do this too.

Branding !!!

12月

19日

People do judge book by the cover.

Do not promote the content, promote the cover!!!

When you spend money marketing .. Your goal should not be try to sell one product ... rather you should try to create a brand image. One you are successful in creating recognizable brand, your marketing should be more effective and less costly.

Internet / Tech Bubble !?

12月

This is a very interesting comparison.

The largest hotel group started in 1974, owns 8,000 hotels, employs 32,000 people is worth $7 Billion dollars. airbnb started in 2008, owns no hotel, employs 2,000 people is worth $30 Billion dollars.

What do you think? Do you think airbnb worth more than 4 times WYNDHAM HOTEL GROUP? Or is this even a fair comparison? Are they even in the same industry?
