I was scanning the headlines from my favourite PR blogs when I saw this story on Steve Rubel’s Micro Persuasion. He was reporting what he’d read on Media 2.0 who was, in turn, reporting on Ad Age’s 2006 Interative [...]

“Arguably, women are now the most powerful engine of global growth.” So says The Economist in its recent look at women and world econcomy. (12 April 2006)

People often ask me what the heck I’m doing in the Isle of Man. Well the booming economy is one reason, and e-business is thriving here.
The Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency, but it has its own parliament and a lot of domestic legislative and political autonomy. In the late 1990s, the Treasury decided [...]
