Tribute to the old mailbox

Everybody knows a mailbox used to be that public container for deposit of outgoing and incoming mail. Also called letterbox, it is a box mounted on a door or by a curb in front of a house or office. In the United States, it used to receive mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service and it is illegal for alternate delivery services to use this box.

Today, with Internet's undeniable popularity, mailboxes are no longer exist physically. They are but simulated boxes in the computer (or in servers) that hold e-mail messages being stored on disk as a file of messages, a database of messages, or as an individual file for each message. The predominant associative words with today's mailboxes are usually In (inbox), Out (outbox), Trash (deleted messages), and Junk (spam). And (email) users typically have the ability to create their own mailbox space for saving messages for archival purposes.

Before the world forgets how a real mailbox--the traditional one--looks like, it'd be good to at least get a souvenir. Check stuff at eBay or get a new one from specialist online stores (emphasis on online stores intended--this blog is about the web). There are a lot of varieties to choose from. One could opt for wall mount, multi-unit, post mount, locking, or a curbside decor type. Technology's making things faster, more convenient, or more cost-effective. It couldn't be a major drawback but with technology as well, things start to lose their physical existence. Mails start to lose their tangibility. Money, buying, and selling have gone--or have become--online and they're not the same as they used to be.

Well, Goods of the Web webmaster's getting a mailbox (the traditional one) tomorrow. Explains this post....

Google and social networking

From CNet.com:

Google will join Facebook and MySpace, which launched ways to port user data to partner sites this week. Facebook Connect will provide the hooks to let users port their friends, profile photos, events, and other data across the Web to partner sites. MySpace on Thursday announced Data Availability, with Yahoo, eBay, Photobucket, and Twitter as initial partners for its effort to let members port their data.

...can't wait...

A brighter, broader view with shopping online

Online shopping is convenient, hassle-free, and oftentimes a preference. It's not bound to totally replace or compare with the certain "x-factor" associated with actual shopping but shopping online definitely offers a "brighter and broader" view.

I mentioned brighter, did I? Bright is the adjective and -- forgive the corny wordplay -- what better way to illustrate brightness than with lamps :) Allow me to discuss the concept of brighter shopping by featuring Farrey's.

Farrey's is an online provider of an extensive range of lamps, lighting fixtures, and outdoor lighting items. It offers items for every room and for every imaginable purpose.

Farrey's lighting products includes various styles from dozens of top manufacturers: Ambience, Fine Art Lamps, Flos, Fontana Arte, George Kovacs, Hinkley Lighting, Maxim Lighting, Minka Lavery, Quoizel, Sea Gull Lighting, Murray Feiss, and many more. Farrey's indoor lighting products on the other hand include desk lamps, mini-pendants, floor lamps, accent lamps, wall mounted sconces, chandeliers, fine art lamps, and flush and semi-flush ceiling light fixtures. Outdoor lighting, moreover, include pier mount lanterns, post mount lanterns, flood lights, deck lights, and landscape lighting.

I myself don't know that such names for lamps exist. Mini-pendants for home lighting? That's something I couldn't sink in so well yet and that makes me realize how online shopping offers one a broader view of available products. And brighter too...given the details, exhaustive and creative descriptions, and product images most online stores provide.

Shoppers can easily and quickly find their desired product in Farrey's by making use of the site's lighting product search tool. The can search by keyword, style, brand, type, finish, and price. Item photos are presented along with information on price and dimensions. Furthermore, Farrey's offers shoppers the convenience of an online shopping cart software. Ordering a desired item should be as easy as doing mouse clicks.

Online communications and marketing with iContact

There's no doubt the Internet is becoming the advertising destination now that traditional media seem too burdensome for companies. The reports and perspectives about the "recession season" may seem confusing; it can't be denied, though, that consumer trends would point to the Internet as a popular destination. And why not? With bandwidth becoming cheaper and the range of Internet-enabled gadgets getting more accessible and affordable for the majority, advertisers would tend to bank on the Internet's power to inform and raise product awareness.

So don't be surprised if email marketing gets more and more popular. Email marketing services, tools, and solution providers are certainly some of the advertising industry gainers this season.

Take a look at iContact for example. iContact caters to the needs of businesses, organizations, and individuals who want to send out email newsletters. This offering is a handy email marketing, surveying, blogging, and autoresponding tool that enables small businesses, organizations, as well as nonprofits to easily communicate with their customers, prospects, and members over the Internet. Featuring an easy-to-use interface, iContact enables users to track email opens and clickthroughs, add website sign-up forms, sort lists, and manage subscribers.

iContact doesn't stop at being just an email sending facility, it automatically manages bounces and unsubscribes--an edge over services that simply send or make sure that a message gets to the inboxes of desired recipients (which iContact also does). iContact has ISP relations, feedback loops, and whitelist status features.

Convenient, cheap, effective, and modern: these are just a few adjectives that describe the reasons a shift to Internet marketing is highly and quickly becoming probable, viable, and welcome. Companies like the one offering iContact offer an easy and inexpensive way to launch online marketing on a seeming "autopilot mode"...promising clients great results.

Shop on the web this 'recession' season

America's is on the brink of (or is already IN the pit of) recession but Google was able to pull out an impressive earnings report. Does this indicate a recession-proof World Wide Web market? May not really be the case say but evidently, the Internet is one of the preferred destinations these "tough" times.

Reports and interviews indicate that companies give preference to spending for Internet marketing instead of working on traditional means to boost sales and attract customers. TV and print advertising cost enormous monies. The Internet advertising industry is quite different. Spending may be per click or page views. Talk about cost effectivity, the Internet is surely a marketing venue worth maintaining. And why not? Trends show undeclining traffic of people visiting the web. And with cheaper bandwidth available these days, more and more people tend to make use of the convenience of things going online or doing things online.

These tough times call for coping measures. To find cheap, do comparison shopping. To do convenient comparison shopping, do it online. Visit comparison shopping websites. Try Mpire.com or search for other sites with google and web directories. It takes a lot of costs to do the "actual" shopping in the malls or boutiques. Try accounting for those bucks spent for the ride (or for the gas if you have a car). Or for the hardly accountable opportunity costs. With online shopping, finding the cheapest items is as easy as a few mouse clicks. It doesn't compare to actual product evaluation but it's definitely an option worth trying. There'are always product images to view and reviews and feedbacks from fellow customers to read.

Well, convenience and lessened costs should be reasons enough to do shopping over the Internet this 'recession' season.
