POPSPress Release Valuable Promotional Tool In SEO Most of the businesses use press releases to make announcements such as business openings, new launches, mergers, acquisitions, new products or services they offer, charity contributions, milestones etc. Such types of articles presented in a mundane style often fail to attract more people as they appear boring and uninteresting.

POPS"Wolf" Named to head $700 billion oversite buy out! With apologies to four-legged wolves - why Wolf? If it looks like a wolf, walks like a wolf, then the sheep - us - better look out. Prior to joining the Treasury Department, Mr. Kashkari was a Vice President at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in San Francisco, where he led Goldman's IT Security Investment Banking practice, advising public and private companies on mergers and acquisitions and financial transactions. If being in charge of advising public and private companies on mergers and acquisitions and financial transactions is a qualification, then maybe he needs someone who specialized in selling bad mortgages as his aide!!

POPSTech M&A Takes A Tumble A troubled economy tends to slow down merger and acquisition activity across the board -- this isn't just a tech problem. But it's interesting to see the effect on a company like Google, which traditionally made massive amounts of acquisitions; they've made on four deals in 2008, compared with 14 during the same period in 2007.

POPS "Why have SMS rates doubled?" Congress to cell carriers..."I am concerned with whether this consolidation and increased market power by the major carriers has contributed to this doubling of text-messaging rates over the last three years," wroteKohl, who gave the carriers a month to justify their higher SMS rates. U.S. texters sent 2.5 billion SMS messages in June—each day, mind you, or 78 billion messages for the month. That's a staggering 160-percent increase over last year, the CTIA reports—as well as a lot of money for the carriers, who collectively raked in $14.8 billion in wireless data revenue in the first half of 2008.

POPSIs Google Buying Digg? Digg would be a great buy -- but I'm skeptical of Rose & crew accepting a price too far "below $200 million." They've got a huge site with an insanely dedicated audience.

POPSYahoo's Scorched Earth Tactics Seems like Jerry Yang's Yahoo was considering some creative ways to fight off a Microsoft acquisition. E-mails suggest the company was considering giving employees financial incentive to quit if acquired by Microsoft. It's reminiscent of the old war tactic of salting the earth. Retreating armies dump salt on farmland so that their enemies won't be able to use them.

POPSSecurity Concerns Block China’s 3Com Deal The withdrawal of the bid by Dubai Ports World occurred not because the foreign investment committee rejected it but because of a torrent of criticism from Capitol Hill, around the same time that similar criticism of a deal by the Chinese state energy company to buy Unocal also led China to withdraw. Meanwhile, the problems of the 3Com deal are sure to aggravate tensions with China. This month, federal officials charged a Defense Department official with passing classified documents to China. In a separate case, the Justice Department arrested a former Boeing engineer in California on charges of economic espionage for the Chinese. The Treasury Department adamantly opposes extending the curbs on foreign investments into areas that affect economic security as opposed to national security, though it says it will monitor growing foreign investments in whole sectors of the economy, even in the financial sector.

POPSChina's Army Builds For Reach Past Taiwan, U.S. Says Other Contingencies The report concludes that China is thinking beyond Taiwan. ``Analysis of China's military acquisitions and strategic thinking suggests Beijing is also developing capabilities for use in other contingencies, such as conflict over resources or disputed territories,'' it says. Cyber Warfare The report also says that China is increasing its capabilities in space and cyberwarfare. ``In both those areas there's reason for concern,'' said David Sedney, assistant secretary of defense for East Asia. The system will be operational in the next two to three weeks, he said. He noted that no one in China ``picked up the phone'' when U.S. officials called after a B-2 bomber accidentally bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in May 1999.

POPSSlate Article - Irving Penn : one of my all time favorite photographers I love Irving Penn and his portraits. I have a book that is a collection of his work on my shelf at home. This is an interesting Slate article about him because of the recent acquisitions made by a number of museums, like the Getty here in L.A. I cannot wait for next year when they will show the collection in the "Small Trades" exhibit.
