This legislation, while well-intentioned, is crafted in such a way that it would give private companies the power to shut down other private companies, and require the government and Internet [...]]]></description>

From time to time I do some soul searching and think about where I&#8217;ve been and where I&#8217;m going. With a tough few months in the books, I wanted to take [...]]]></description>

The measure of good marketing, of course, is not hard to identify: it&#8217;s how effectively your marketing translates into sales.
