Epilogue:

Apologies for my long absence in writing. Off-line life has been a time soak. Since the last time I wrote back in September 2011 here is where I was in life. I had recently returned from 14 days in Russia (Republic of Moldova). I had moved. Working wise my financial practice had reached the tipping point and was moving at light speed. Then shortly after posting I traveled to Boston all while laying the seeds to shift and spearhead a new venture.

Since November, 2011, I voluntarily left Northwestern Mutual to aid in a start-up called Synd It Global LLC. With our team we are now quickly developing the relationship management and sales end of a project bound for Wall Street. I am still my own boss and am enjoying working with an incredible team of young, bright and ambitious entrepreneurs.

We are a generation now company hell bent on changing the game. Which fields we play on have yet to be finalized but the battle is wagging. This project has inspired this post which I believe could be very beneficial for your pocket book.

Value Is the New Luxury

Think about this, when was the last time you as a consumer felt blissful luxury? Was it spending full price at a restaurant because you could afford it? Doubt it. Was it spending full price on a retail item at a local store instead of ordering it online? Doubt it. Or was it using some technology to save money on the same things you enjoy everyday? Bingo.

I just saved huge on this meal because I used Groupon, LivingSocial, ScoutMob, SweetJacks, Valpax, Coupon Factory, and I can go on and on and on. All these value derived membership services that all suck in their own unique ways. So I present a solution to you, with no subscription or cost to you the consumer.

Imagine you could connect your local business with your consumer in a better way online with a new syndication technology. Your business loved our technology because it is cost effective, involving no revenue sharing, no half off only offers and gave you additional services like SEO and a Landing Page, at no extra charge.

The consumer loves our technology because it functions like Craigslist, hauls like Google, guarantees them it is the best deal online in that market and works perfect with everything they already do/use online, including social media, smart phones and tablets. We do have an iPhone/iPad app, but not releasing it till we have more markets.

Then take that technology one step further and syndicate it on hundreds of Web and multiple platforms. Google, Bing and Yahoo does not declare the technology as spam because the technology follows their stringent SEO rules. And it benefits the sites that integrate our syndication tech because, for example, news affiliates love it the important SEO improving dynamic content. In addition, most any businesses Web site, online WordPress site, or news site can incorporate our syndication technology right into it. Every time your business is discovered on a different site, it is indexed separately for the search engines.

One of the best features of this syndication technology is the ability to “filter” the service. For example, new Professional Services sites coming online very soon. This allows the local consumer to research the best local plumbers, dentists, hair stylists, real estate agents, etc all while seeing their value adding propositions. Imagine this in every market across the planet.

We even have Organic/Sustainable filtered sites for businesses providing sustainable organic products. In the near future we will have a site dedicated to helping local consumers find the best 2 for 1 bar/restaurant specials in their market. It is incredible what this syndicated technology will do.

So if you had developed this technology what would you do next? Like any product, you have to bring it to market. So that is where Synd It Global comes in. Synd stands for Syndication, and we will make it a household term. The team is working tirlessley to develop this revolutionary service in six markets. We are almost two down with a third on the horizon. We are connecting local businesses to new sites developing every month. It is not a quick or easy process, but it will pay off.

I prefer not to go into great detail on the current sites as they constantly change, evolve and grow. But if you are reading this, you maybe want to save a few dollars. If you are in the Virgin Islands or Nashville, here are some great sites we have live that work great.

See the service and how effective it is at providing all the information you need to connect to local businesses in those markets. Of course we hope you use them to add value to your life.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, this picture draws the most popular social networks like Facebook, Digg, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace as people. I think this artist pretty much nailed it. I searched for the artist but had no luck. If you know the artist, please let me know.

From Read Write Web, “In the immediate aftermath of a 7.0 earthquake that caused an unbelievable amount of destruction to Haiti’s capital, Google has been asked by relief organizations and users to show images of what’s actually happening on the ground.

Another update and revolutionary product from Google is there upcoming Google Chrome OS. I’m pretty sure you are familiar with the browser version, which since the last update has become my browser of choice. Nothing comes close to loading Web pages, especially data intensive ones like Facebook.com. If you feel like trying it out, I highly recommend Google Chrome Browser by clicking here. But, will the Chome OS (Operating System) honestly be stable and ready to seriously challenge Microsoft’s OS, Windows 7, Vista and so on. Well, from what we know, that is not Google mission. The following is a collection of articles about previews and information Google has released.

At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Enjoy, this in incredible. I know I will be recommending sponsor IBM’s stock and any other company that decides to move forward with this technology.

When Christmas decorating goes wrong

This comes from a personal friend who lives very close to me! Actually just a few neighbor hoods down. I posted about this on Friday as soon as I heard the story from a co-worker. He sent me this picture, The Greatest Christmas Decoration Ever for sure, off his Blackberry. Hilarious.

Facebook Friday Post Proof, Greatest Christmas Decoration Ever?

Jon went on to say that this guy had people literally screaming off the road into his drive way, tire marks and all, to save this poor guy. To there surprise, he was not real! Though, for some reason, the police disagreed and asked him to take it down. He said that he did not see the harm in it. Priceless.

Straight from the Greatest Christmas Decoration Ever creator: “Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

The old-lady probably could not hear the man NOT SAYING ANYTHING, lol! That’s horrible and too good. But only because she was not hurt! This one has to go down as one of the Greatest Christmas Decoration Ever.

Enjoy and happy holidays!
