Investor Paul Allen!

Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is undergoing chemotherapy right now. This was reported by the Associated Press today. He’s currently undergoing chemotherapy, and he feels he can beat it. I also read that 20 plus years ago when he was Microsoft’s executive vice president of research and new product development he had beat another immune system cancer. One of his close friends, you might know him, co-founder of Microsoft Corp. Bill Gates said “Melinda and I have Paul and his family in our thoughts and prayers, I know him to be a strong and resilient individual.” Some people didn’t now this, but the two have been friends since high school. Allen is also a huge investor in companies just starting out, or looks to be a sound company. He’s invested in companies like America Online, DreamWorks Animation and cable operator Charter Communications Inc. He also owns a few professional sport teams, the football team Seattle Seahawks, basketball’s Portland Trailblazers, and a stake in the Seattle Sounders FC, a major league soccer team. He’s very well known in the Seattle area, for what he’s done in redeveloping the City, and of course the sport teams he owns. I read that he’s only 56 years old, I think he can fight this cancer, but it’s not going to be easy.

Advertise A New Way!

With the economy starting to show a recovery advertisers are looking for affordable ways to get their brand out there. And with the explosion of social media sites it’s giving them new and exciting ways to get their name out. One huge social media sites out there is Twitter. Twitter has only been out for a few years now, and their know worldwide, everyone has a twitter account. Having a Twitter account gives you the chance to meet and reconnect with people just like you. Twitter gives you the chance to say what’s on your mind, instantly, everyone in the world can read that. And this also gives advertisers that instant opportunity to get their message or deal out as well. The problem advertisers are having is they need to grow their accounts, get people to follow them. To solve that problem advertisers are looking to pay regular people to tweet their message to their friends. And to find those regular people there using the services of SponsoredTweets, which I have an account with. I’ve done a few tweets, made a little money. The thing I don’t like is that you have to have $50 bucks in your account to cash out, which could take awhile to be paid. I would recommend that if you have a good following to sign up for sponsored tweets, you could make some spending money on the site. They also have a few tools to help you earn more, which is pretty cool as well. I think once they start getting more advertisers in the system it could really take off. The service is still new, so maybe in a few months, maybe it’ll really take off, which I hope it does.

Jauron Terminated!

After another poor start, the Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson terminated head coach Dick Jauron. The final straw was this last Sundays beat down 41-17 loss to Tennessee. I think this release of Jauron is a great thing for him. He really needed to get out of Buffalo. The Bills haven’t had any really good building since the early 90’s. Owner Ralph Wilson, hasn’t really spent any money to bring in great players. And for the most part the Bills are in a small market, and just about broke. This off season the Bills did acquired Owens, but he’s a loser, nothing but trouble. Of course there will be fans glad to see this change, but their blind. Jauron is a good head coach, and will end up coaching a team next season, if not this year. The person that all fans should be mad at is Bills owner Ralph Wilson, it’s time for him to step down, and hire great GM to run the team.

More Trouble For Burger King!

The economy has sunk many businesses, and the one’s still standing are struggling. Burger King is one of those businesses looking to draw people in with low prices, $1 menu items. So Burger King decided to expand their $1 menu by adding the double cheeseburger to it. So now the franchisees of Burger King have filed a lawsuit against them because they didn’t want the double cheeseburger on that menu. They say their losing money on the double cheeseburger promotion. They said their losing about .10 cents on every burger. With the economy not looking any better every dime counts. Burger King stands by their decision, and their well within their agreements with franchise owners rights. I say, if this promotion drives in customers it’s will worth it. If some comes in and buys a few burgers and a large drink their going to make a huge profit. Did you all know that it cost like .10 cents to make and sell every large drink. So they lose .20 cents on the burgers, but make well over a buck in the soft drink. They just need to suck it up, and focus on the up sales when the people come in.
