By it´s own standards, the new economy has become old. I´ve been asked to write an article for a german electronic news mag about successful strategies for distribution. My focus will be on why the new economy has died and what the old economy can learn from that. One important point is that the new economy was a good idea, just not very well executed.

The smart small guys became the stupid big guys, burning through their money spent on old fashioned marketing. What would I do with a billion dollars in funds? Creating a business that works, that´s what. Just to give you a hint how that would work: Spend the money on things that pay back. Something that the old economy knows about... ´nuff said. - Discuss

Does the US government rely on CNN to talk to its troops? - Discuss
