2010 June

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock in the middle of a remote desert for the last few years, you are probably noticing some huge, eye-catching, and powerful changes to the Internet as we know it. We’ve seen things like the deployment of sophisticated VPNs and proxies to help honest businesspeople thwart countless awkward attempts to hamper communications in Internet-restrictive countries like China, and all of us have marveled at the array of new technology like simple-looking but completely Earth-shattering tag clouds, cutting-edge SEO devices, and interoperability features of Web 2.0 environments as they come to the surface. It’s looking like the floodgates are not only opening up… they’re virtually blasting apart, and the Internet community is ready to rise to the challenge, as the torrents of fast-flowing waters of technology surround us. In this kind of situation, there are only two kinds of Internet-based businesses: those who will sink, and those who will continue to swim as they find themselves surrounded by countless new opportunities!
