Actually I am afraid to leave my emails for more than one hour. Would there be a software embedded that will "broadcast" my email address book and of course my personal email to some spam collector softwares and then... you know the rest!
Wellesley, Mass.,—April 2, 2007—Nucleus Research, a global provider of information technology research and advisory services, today announced that the spam epidemic is costing US businesses $712 per employee each year in lost worker productivity.
According to a survey of 849 e-mail users conducted during March 2007, Nucleus Research and KnowledgeStorm found that two out of every three e-mail messages received by today's business users are spam.
As a result, users are spending 16 seconds identifying and deleting each spam e-mail, which translates into an annual cost of $70 billion to all US businesses.

It is said by Peter Drucker "Marketing and innovation are the two chief functions of business. You get paid for creating a customer, which is marketing. And you get paid for creating a new dimension of performance, which is innovation. Everything else is a cost centre". Marketing is the essential element for a company in order to transform the products or services to necessitates for customers and finally to transform the investment to profit. Companies are adjusting their marketing mix strategies to reflect anticipated market differences in the EU market. The condition of four P's (4Ps) has major impacts and finally dictates if a company will be healthy or not.
Price - Promotion - Place - Product
The World Wide Web (WWW), as a market, is rapidly moving through the stage where the novelty of buying on the web is giving way to a more sophisticated customer who has more and constantly improved demand for product and for services. In the market and especially in the Internet Market the space for small and medium companies, not only exists but also encourage this fact. Let us not forget that Amazon.com has achieved to harmonize the four Ps and maybe in few years more than 50% of consumers will trust companies like this one.

Finally internet is available, even in countries that are not economically strong. But have you ever realized how do we use it? Lets see the results:

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't remember the times that friends or customers called me saying: "Hi, I want a website with a simple but really cool design, maybe with a product gallery and also an e-shop, maybe also a forum would be nice and of course I want to update it myself and not to forget RSS for the news."
Nice approach. The customer / friend knows what he/she wants. And then you get to the point telling him that it would cos X thousand euro. If he/she will not hang up instantly it's your lucky day. "So much? I expected something less, something like 300 euro". Then you hung up the line.
 A nice 300 euros website background
Lets evaluate the meaning of the 300 euro cost for a website.
- 1 hour of a web designer costs from 18 to 30 euros > average: 24
- 1 hour of a developer costs from 25 to 42 euros > average: 33.5
So approximately you have around 10 working hours for both of them (almost five from each) to build a brand new and also unique website. No further comment! :)
In marketing and advertising, what you pay is what you get!

Monty Python sketch, first broadcast in 1970. In the sketch, two customers are trying to order a breakfast from a menu that includes the processed meat product in almost every dish. The term spam (in electronic communication, and as of 2006, general slang) is derived from this sketch. It features Terry Jones as The Waitress, Eric Idle as Mr. Bun and Graham Chapman as Mrs. Bun. The televised skit also featured John Cleese as The Hungarian, but this part was left out of audio recordings of the sketch. Only three and a half minutes long, it builds up into a semi-argument between the waitress who has a menu limited to having Spam in just about everything ("Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, sausage, eggs and Spam"), and Mrs. Bun, who is the only one in the room who does not want it (despite there being some items mentioned that do not actually include Spam, she nevertheless asks for an item without Spam in it). At several points, a group of Vikings in the restaurant (referred to as the Green Midget Café in Bromley) interrupt conversation by loudly singing "Spam, lovely Spam, wonderful Spam." They are interrupted by the waitress several times, but they resume singing more and more loudly until at last the song reaches an operatic climax. In the end credits, every member of the crew has either Spam or some other food item from the menu added to their names. Source: Wikipedia
