i was glued to my speakers!
it clearly and sysematically explains the background to the entire affair
going way back to the arms deal and chubby? shake? his accountant
right up to to day.
i would like your reaction and opinion on it from all sides of the pollitical
spectrum.

“Jacob Zuma is one of the most powerful men in South Africa. He controls the
ruling African National Congress and is poised to replace President Thabo Mbeki
as head of state. But Jacob Zuma has a problem. Prosecutors say he’s corrupt
and hope to bring him to trial in August. Mr Zuma says the charges are
political, designed to keep him from power. For Assignment Martin Plaut
travelled to South Africa to investigate.”

i have created this blogg just for you and your connections!!
i’ve realy enjoyed putting this together and wish that i had writing skills.
it’s no accident that i’m a photographer!
i’ve been slaving away for hrs and hrs – gathering up the links from far flung places in cyber space!
http://bizlinks.wordpress.com/2008/03/05/for-all-you-fervent-business-builders-entrepreneurs-amongst-many-other-things/
i hope you will be forever grateful!
and that you do find many links that you didn’t know about and can use them -
and that they work!
cheers
hoh

there are 2 pages of posts - the link to them is at the absolute bottom of each page

« Previous Entries [p2]

humongous thanks to David Le Page with out whom there would be no blog!

i have just looked at my LINKEDIN network and this is what it looks like – i’m telling you this so that you can take a look at it and peruse the connections – get inspired/fired up/ be amazed!
i’ve put a post up[?] posted a post[?]to show you how to find your network page
LINK to your NETWORK STATS

the statistics page, has been broken down into, who your connections are by professions/industries/where they are and by percentiles too – i have a huge group of IT engeneers in holland! 58 harvard graduates all over the place.
and….
your connections have introduced their connections making
my 2nd degree connections 71!
and
wait for it…..
those connections connections are now
3,300!! [3 degrees away]
this is thanx to you – i’m hoping that you can also access them.
“they” might have blocked this from happening – i’m not sure – i need someone to let me know
so i can email you my network url/uri and see if that works!
so much to do & limited time to do it in

i’ve been perusing some of your connections’ websites and blogs
it’s amazing how brilliant these people are and what they do
which of course is obvious
given the person that you are!


ALFPOB
YES!
you will find the LINKEDIN category on the right hand colomn, [far right!] of this page
scroll down to Category Cloud
– by clicking on LINKEDIN, all of them thoughout the blog will show up together – nifty


.
i thought that a business blogg might work well to quickly access useful information – the latest gizmos/business ideas/books/movies/? – which i’m hoping you and your LINKEDIN connections will post on the blogg!
to pool our enthusiasm – bounce ideas about – link up with like minded people and not like minded too
i will create a post called CONTRIBUTIONS? [do suggest something better pls] where you can enter what ever you like and if it gets replies/responses i can then create a new post for it

i think the only way to master something is to do it a lot!
PLEASE feel completely OK making suggestions criticisms about the blogg and anything else – to improve it make it more user friendly and enjoyable

i think i have got some fun stuff on here too and i’d love you to add your best links to too [to to?] [too to?] [too too?] [as well] it!

maybe we can create a question and answer post and maybe a wants and an offer posts as well?
are there too many posts?
are there any negatives to blogging?
besides it becoming addictive.
i’m hoping that this blogg with be valuable to anyone that looks at it and be really useful and enjoyable and…. fluid[i’ve had to stop myself from use the o word – organic!]
on a financial program i heard a CEO say “our stocks are really organic” [as in stocks and shares not beef!]


here are 2 i heard this morning
bla bal blaa yadda yadda yadda …..the height of ideology………[!?]
………it’s granularity….[what?] the interviewer also blinked i think in disbelief when he heard this- steven sucker on talking to a person who wrote a book on obama the democrat [Hard TAlk BBC]
got any gems you’d like to add?

the ‘purity’ metre shows 0.1
a glass of tap water shows + – 400 [newfoundland?]
i wonder what our tap water would show?
heard this on the thirsty traveller [satellite tv]
didn’t catch the brand name but vodka is make with it
i wonder how much it would cost to harvest icebergs to bottle it?
perish the thought! the ice caps are already shrinking
