Update Bulletin - New Developments - The National Networker Companies - 02.21.2010

Dear Friends:

Greetings, everyone!

QUESTION #1: What exactly are/is The National Networker Companies?

TNNWC is a group of unincorporated divisions operating under the aegis of The National Networker Companies. TNNWC is, at present, a Limited Liability Company with only two Managing Members. TNNWC is converting its structure to permit the admission of Participating Members (Stakeholders in ownership and profit-sharing) to afford the greatest contributors to TNNWC's success to become true owners, with an ongoing income annuity. This shared-contribution, shared-stakeholder type of incentive-based meritocracy is referred to as a GICBC - A Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community.

QUESTION #2: What does TNNWC do?

TNNWC publishes several newsletters (The National Networker Weekly Newsletter, The Blue Tuesday Report, and other special publications and bulletins), provides a suite of businesses services for entrepreneurial endeavor, emerging enterprises, fast-track executives and innovative professionals. These services are unparalleled anywhere, are efficiently priced, and are only available to our TNNWC Members; but bear in mind that Membership is free. Lastly, we are an interactive community of like-minded collaborative people who want to build a new economic paradigm and entity which allows for prosperity and peace -- capitalism without conflict.

QUESTION #3: What's The Benefit To ME in Joining TNNWC's GICBC, and in becoming a Member Of TNNWC?

It's simple. Become a Member and 1) receive all of our free publications, breaking news, RSS feeds, Email updates, intelligence, practical advice and access to our suite of services for professional and business growth; become a Member and 2) receive pre-qualified personalized introductions to other community Members (worldwide) who will collaborate with you, mentor you, advise you, co-venture with you, promote you, and become your suppliers, clients or representatives to increase your quality and quantity of your business and the trajectory of your rise to success -- we are proactive and interactive; become a Member, and TNNWC will find ways and means of promoting you -- we are a community of creative, motivated and enterprising individuals...we are like an extended family and we take care of each other as part and parcel of taking care of ourselves; Become a Member and 3) ultimately become a stakeholder in our GICBC for the development of equity, income, security and so many other benefits which you cannot count on large corporations, governmental agencies or other faceless strangers to survive.

Our rapidly growing GICBC will be a sovereign self-sustaining entity in cyberspace... a Member-owned diplomatic meritocracy, a capitalistic system fed with shared success, but tempered with compassion and accountability, an incubator for achievement and productivity... a rescue vessel in a time when too many people are drowning in a sea of desperation, disillusionment, distrust, insecurity, hopelessness and profound emotional depression. We extend our hand to you.

QUESTION #4: What Type of Services Do you Provide?

We provide superb comprehensive customized services which include, but are not limited to, these: News Releases; Public Relations; Publicity; Financing (from angel investors to venture capital to asset-based financing to purchase-order financing, to international trade financing and receivables insurance, to major project and contract financing; International Connections Services; Advertising Services; Blogging and Blogosphere Domination Services; and a host of others...and we're prepared to do plenty of hand-holding and follow-through. Networking is only the beginning...we are about synergistic relationships.

QUESTION #5: Could you tell me more about the GICBC concept?

In being consistent with the progressive theme of the most recent two Update Bulletins and using them as a foundation upon which to build this week's Bulletin, an expanded outline of the ways in which we have already changed, as well as our plans for additional changes to be implemented during 2010 follows, with a focus on the GICBC Project. Note: This will be of great interest to every existing member, and to those of readers who are not yet members (you folks can fix that right now by clicking on http://bit.ly/JoinTNNW -- membership is free, and it gives you instant access to our TNNW Weekly Newsletter, the Blue Tuesday Report, our suite of unparalleled Business Development Services and our various interactive Forums):

Our Vision has changed - It is our intention to become the first Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community (GICBC) in history. We believe that TNNW's GICBC will serve as an exemplary type of social and business structure where capitalism can be used as a positive inducement for participation, innovation and peaceful, productive teamwork which transcends any unspoken caste system, any monetary or political barriers, and any geographical considerations.

Can a GICBC become a large conglomerate? Absolutely. Growth is unlimited.

Can a GICBC create, own or control its own credit unions, capital funds and insurance companies for the benefit of its members? Absolutely. We can be a virtual self-contained world. The greater our membership size, the better our negotiating position, resources and lobbying strength.

Can a GICBC act as a purchasing agent in order to obtain better pricing on products and services? Absolutely. The collective power of the GICBC can be used to obtain favorable pricing on everything -- from groceries, to automobiles, to office supplies, to education, to health insurance, to theater tickets, to discounted rates on loans -- and these benefits can be passed along to our members.

Can a GICBC be incorporated, or become an LLC? Absolutely. There is no legal or financial liability to any stakeholder for the actions of the company.

Can a GICBC buy interests in other companies and assets? Absolutely. We can invest in anything that we choose. Stakeholders propose these opportunities and vote on them at stakeholders' meetings, which can be held electronically (via computer and telephone).

A GICBC is similar in structure to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, where 1) members work together and share in an ongoing collaborative effort to build the company [by consistently increasing and diversifying the volume and sources of the company's revenues], and 2) members are awarded ownership interests in the company as well as 3) shares of the company's profit...i.e., a quarterly cash distributions for each member in direct proportion with his or her percentage ownership.

Each member is awarded ownership (and all the benefits associated with ownership) based upon the value of his or her contribution. A GICBC is a true meritocracy, where productivity, innovation and the willingness to share are rewarded. Some have called this "Capitalism Without Conflict". Keep googling GICBC. Keep apprising us of your thoughts and willingness to become a vested member and stakeholder. You can give us your ideas or pose your questions to us at http://bit.ly/contactTNNW .


Our mission has changed - The National Networker Companies, as a group, is a provider of news, intelligence, unique content and business development services to the professional, corporate and entrepreneurial sectors.

Our orientation has changed - Networking is only the beginning - TNNWC is not just about "networking" (which has become a vast term with multiple meanings to many people; where every person believes that he or she is an "***EXPERT***") -- we are all about increasing revenues and productivity by creating viable, real connections; building partnerships (domestically and globally); providing interactive forums; and furnishing services to increase your roster of clients, your buzz, your branding, your market presence (in existing and new, emerging and potential markets) and your sales by every means possible. We live to inform, assist, interact with and promote every member's business, practice or cause.

Our structure has changed - We are an information producer, cross-media broadcaster and a promotion mega-machine. We make things happen for our members, and for our clients. We are building our management team now -- we are proactively pursuing and recruiting talented, energetic and intelligent individuals and matching them with the important official functions for which they are best suited...those for which they can offer our GICBC their optimal utilization.

Growth, refinement and improvement in other areas - Keep watching. What do you have to offer us? What are your greatest personal and professional talents?

Help us build the world's biggest subscriber/ membership list -- Forward this article (or this email) to a friend, colleague or business associate.


As always, thank you. You've let us become a part of your life. Through our GICBC (details unfolding rapidly), you will be able to become a stakeholder in The National Networker Companies. Our Growth Will Guarantee Yours.


With All of Our Best,


Adam J. Kovitz and Douglas Castle

UPDATE Bulletin - New Developments - The National Networker Companies - 02.21.2010

Update! Accelerated Breakthroughs Project Calls for Collaboration Experts and Visionaries

January, 2010, Week 4 - Update!
Update Issue # 28

An important request from the Vice-Chairman to all of our TNNWC colleagues, members and readers:

Subject: Collaboration Experts and Visionaries Needed.

Dear Colleagues:

I am aggressively seeking collaboration experts, advocates and thought leaders who are interested in writing (brief entries as part of a cooperative forum) and promoting their views about any of the topics below:

· Collaboration software and technology;

· Collaboration ideology, theory and philosophy;

· Breakthrough thinking through collaboration;

· Equitable sharing of the efforts (costs) and benefits (profits) of intellectual property and other assets developed through the collaboration mechanism;

· Trends and future predictions regarding the expansion of the practice of collaboration and/or the technology associated with it.

This effort is being undertaken in conjunction with The National Networker Companies (http://www.TheNationalNetworker.com), and has the promise of being high-profile.

Should you have an interest, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this project with you in greater detail. The Group will be called "Accelerated Breakthroughs," and will be working under the auspices of TNNW’s GICBC (Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community). We already have a substantial readership and prospective market base upon which to showcase our group, and to whom we can intelligently and tastefully promote the services of each of our principal forum participants. There exists a tremendous opportunity for participation in the ownership of valuable intellectual property, publication and promotion.

You can find my profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/douglascastle, or at http://aboutDouglasCastle.blogspot.com .

Please send your inquiries and expressions of interest directly to http://twitlik.com/Collaboration. (a pop-up instant email form). Please write the word “Collaboration” in the subject line of your correspondence.

I hope to hear from you very soon. Thank you for your consideration.

Best Regards,

Douglas Castle

----------------------------------------------------------

You've asked, so we've answered...and we've printed it in teal.

Q: What will it mean to be a "Member of The National Networker GICBC?"

A: Being a Member of TNNW's GICBC (a fancy acronym for Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community) will be the best decision that you have ever made for yourself, both personally and professionally. Membership will continue to be free, and all Members signing in on our homepage (http://www.TheNationalNetworker.com) will receive our weekly Newsletter, our Blue Tuesday Report (although persons in France will be receiving 'Le Mardi Bleu') and frequent announcements, intel and opportunities from our e-presses. And... the additional benefits will be unsurpassed:

• Working collaboratively (i.e. up "close and personal") with other Members to develop, improve and to grow every significant aspect of YOUR business;

• Access to an international pool of talented, experienced and connected individuals from the entire International Community;

• Access to ongoing mentoring, and to ongoing mentoring opportunities;

• Constant promotion and Search Engine Optimization of your business' product or service brand (this part will still be free, and more powerful, with more media outlets and media crossover and echo than ever before);

• Access to all of our Members Only (*like those jackets some of us wore in the early 1980s) Suite of Services, including News Releases, Buzzing, Branding, International Joint Venturing, Financing, Risk Management, Advertising, Market Research and a host of others...

More importantly, being a Member will mean being a part of an interactive community with proactive personal introductions, suggested partnerships and constant connection to other Members who will get to know you, and whom you'll get to know -

Most importantly, being a contributing and participatory Member will lead to your becoming a stakeholder in our organization. We won't be selling shares; we'll be giving them to worthy Members in exchange for their Human Value contributed to the GICBC. Think of it like this:

"It's sort of like doing a group of friends a good turn when they're startin' their business and having them issue you stock in their company for your efforts. And then, well then, their company goes public and the help that you offered turns into your fortune. I reckon it's a bit like doin' Bill Gates a favor right before Microsoft gets capitalized. It's the ultimate win in life's 'bein' in the right place at the right time' lottery." - An actual quote from a friend in Oklahoma.

You, and everyone whom you consider a colleague, will want to join. We say this with absolute certainty. And Membership will continue to be free. Join us.

"Ranting has done more to change the world than chanting ever has." - Douglas Castle

I would ask that each of us become an activist for the right reasons and for the right causes. There is much that is wrong in this world, emotionally as well as economically. Misplaced trust and disillusionment must not be permitted to allow us to accept an ever-declining standard, to embrace mediocrity, to be less than the greatness of our potential...our birthright. I have heard it said that "all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good persons to stand idly by and do nothing." But I also believe that a "critical mass" of good people, working together in cooperation, collaboration and harmony toward a great and noble goal can achieve anything.

Let this year be the year that we celebrate our diversity with a spirit of unity, for those many things that unite us are far greater and far more important than those things which we have let divide us. We cannot depend upon governments, giant corporate conglomerates and that miniscule and manipulative percentage of the population which controls the bulk of the world's vast wealth to bring us peace and prosperity. We must look inside of ourselves, and toward each other.

Working together, in the spirit of sharing of efforts and rewards can help us, as entrepreneurs, as Internationalists and as Human Beings, to become free from the misery that the erosion of productive and ethical initiatives has brought upon us. We do not have to beg when we can build. Not one of us has to stand alone. We must take back the power to be great, and to truly be free.

This freedom entails responsibility. And we can no longer abdicate our responsibility or depend upon an economic wave or a taxpayer-financed supernatural miracle to save us. We must break the cycle of pettiness and knee-jerk reactions and start being thinkers and planners and doers. We have let our will to win atrophy. We have muscles which we have forgotten how to use.

The awesome magic of our species is our ability to complement each other, to teach each other, to assist each other. As a community, as a Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community we have access to unlimited communications, resources and power. We have been fools not to see it -- we would be far greater fools not to use it.

As a multitude, as a collective, we are far greater than the sum of our individual constituents. We have the synergy at our disposal.

Join my club. Become proactive instead of reactive. Let's get to know eachother. This is not about networking. This is not about connecting. This is about combining, sharing and prospering.

When I joined The National Networker Companies over a year ago, my dream, my hope was to utilize the framework that Adam Kovitz had created out of love and inspiration in order to build a colossus of an entity wherein each participant would contribute resources and efforts, and where all could share in ownership and profits from a diversified and ever-growing stream of revenue.

Join us. Show us who you are. Let us get to know you. Let us discover our areas of commonality and our areas of complementarity. Let us build peace and prosperity as if we were a sovereign nation in the limitless realm of cyberspace. And most of all, let's make it personal as well as professional. To accomplish what needs to be done, we must re-discover the notion of caring about each other, and set aside the constant scrambling to steal from each other or to sell to each other. Let's stop the self-defeating frenzy and become committed allies.

The National Networker Companies will become the world's first GICBC. It costs nothing to say "yes" and join. In an entrepreneurial meritocracy, some of our numbers will leave. but many will stay. I hope and pray that we will grow to be a force to change things for the better for every one of us...and for us to show each other, and the world, that we are capable of being a great civilization.

Join us at http://twitlik.com/IN . We owe it to ourselves and to one another to see just how far we can go - working together. We owe it to our children and to the future of Humankind.

Thank you, one and all. May the year 2010 begin not merely our own, home-launched economic and social recovery, but may it be a year of the re-kindling of civilization, with its peace, prosperity and greater security.

The To-Do List:

1. Click on the fancy new logo at the top of this Update! and make sure that you are signed up for the free RSS feed or the Daily Email. In addition to your regular subscription, this will give you access to ALL of our info, intel, breaking news, breaking wind, and other breaking things. In fact, some of the things you'll see are not broken at all -- they will be fixed, just like the presidential elections in many countries. Oh -- almost forgot...while you're on that page, scroll down a bit on the right-hand side, and grab the TNNW Widget. This nifty widget can be placed on your website, blog, or newsletter in order to provide you with great continuous information, as well as plenty of additional visitor traffic.

2. Take a moment to respond to TNNW Survey #5 (about the recession and the recovery)...it's very quick, painless and you'll be forever blessed. Click here for the survey, and thank you in advance:

3. Think Green. Choose your news. In 20 minutes per day, you can be the best-informed person in any meeting or social encounter. Get this gadget, and go green:

If the preceding url seems too long, you can simply click on this shorter one, and save even more precious time:

http://twitlik.com/GreenGadget The National Newspicker Gadget has more features than ever before, and it is resizeable. Get it now [more about this below].

4. Please follow The National Networker Newsletter and the Blue Monday Report on Twitter. If we get 100,000 followers by December 25th, Adam J. Kovitz will personally pay each one of those followers $0.01! Yossi Feigenson will also buy the 100,000th follower a cup of coffee, either with or without non-dairy creamer!. I (Douglas Castle) will also be the proud recipient of a 2-hour long backrub from Featured TNNW author Christine West, who will be clad only in an apricot leather jumpsuit (I have not exactly told her about this yet...).

Go to: http://Twitter.com/TNNW_BUZZWORKS . Bless you. Each and every one.

5. Visit http://tnnwcservices1.blogspot.com . It is under construction, but it is live! You'll learn some great stuff about news releases, publicity, public relations and branding. Our service is not comparable to PR NEWSWIRE or PR Web -- those latter two companies are the dominant forces in the newswire service business. They are merely transmitters of information which is provided to them -- our service includes all of the most crucial elements in a successful News Release (i.e., the ones you either will not get or will pay an exorbitant amount for if you ask for them at either PR Newswire or PR Web): newsworthy, exciting copy; magnetic headlines and subheadlines; strategic hyperlinks; keyword stuffing; notable quotes (soundbites and soundbytes) complete editing and proofing; third-party objectivity (so you don't look like you're putting out another ho-hum press release about something that's so self-serving that no editor wants to print it and no reader will glance at it); proper market targeting (the surgical strike); proper geographical release points; SEO and separate search engine submission; re-publication of the best versions of the final release to the social media and relevant blogs (for resonance and longevity); and, of course, tracking and metrics.

The idea is NOT just getting the piece published. The idea is to get your target market to come to your website, blog, newsletter subscription page, event or tag sale (only kidding about the tag sale). It's not about just getting into the news. It's about steering prospective customers and clients to your site so that they can be converted to actual, paying customers or clients.

Why, if we weren't so articulate, we would just say that "Homemade Press Releases are crappy." But we would never use that type of language.

6. Visit http://tnnwc-tnnwbuzzworks.blogspot.com/ . It is under construction, but it is better than live! It features a glowing thing. In fact, if you read through it, you just might emerge with a greatly improved understanding and appreciation of what BUZZ actually is, and what BUZZOLOGY is all about.


7. Give yourself a jump start on the year that waits ahead of us. In fact, give your website, blog or newsletter greater visibility, search engine prominence, visitor traffic, stickiness, dynamic content and power. Grab our widget, and just put it on your site. It's free. It's priceless. It's yours for the taking.

You can get it by scrolling down on the right-hand margin at http://thenationalnetworkerweblog.blogspot.com/, or by just taking it by clicking on the button beneath the widget on this very page (Note: If the widget does not appear below in beautiful form and in all of its glory, it might be because of your browser, operating system, Ben Bernanke, or because you were simply not good this year. If this should be the case, then just grab it by going to http://thenationalnetworkerweblog.blogspot.com/, or if that url is too long for you, by going to http://twitlik.com/Daily )

4. Please follow The National Networker Newsletter and the Blue Monday Report on Twitter. If we get 25,000 followers by December 25th, Adam J. Kovitz will personally pay each one of those followers $0.01! Yossi Feigenson will also buy the 25,000th follower a cup of coffee. I (Douglas Castle) will also be the proud recipient of a 1-hour long backrub from Featured TNNW author Christine West, who will be clad only in an apricot leather jumpsuit (I have not exactly told her about this yet...).

Go to: http://Twitter.com/TNNW_BUZZWORKS . Bless you. Each and every one.

5. Visit http://tnnwcservices1.blogspot.com . It is under construction, but it is live! You'll learn some great stuff about news releases, publicity, public relations and branding. Our service is not comparable to PR NEWSWIRE or PR Web -- those latter two companies are the dominant forces in the newswire service business. They are merely transmitters of information which is provided to them -- our service includes all of the most crucial elements in a successful News Release (i.e., the ones you either will not get or will pay an exorbitant amount for if you ask for them at either PR Newswire or PR Web): newsworthy, exciting copy; magnetic headlines and subheadlines; strategic hyperlinks; keyword stuffing; notable quotes (soundbites and soundbytes) complete editing and proofing; third-party objectivity (so you don't look like you're putting out another ho-hum press release about something that's so self-serving that no editor wants to print it and no reader will glance at it); proper market targeting (the surgical strike); proper geographical release points; SEO and separate search engine submission; re-publication of the best versions of the final release to the social media and relevant blogs (for resonance and longevity); and, of course, tracking and metrics.

The idea is NOT just getting the piece published. The idea is to get your target market to come to your website, blog, newsletter subscription page, event or tag sale (only kidding about the tag sale). It's not about just getting into the news. It's about steering prospective customers and clients to your site so that they can be converted to actual, paying customers or clients.

Why, if we weren't so articulate, we would just say that "Homemade Press Releases are crappy." But we would never use that type of language.

6. Visit http://tnnwc-tnnwbuzzworks.blogspot.com/ . It is under construction, but it is better than live! It features a glowing thing. In fact, if you read through it, you just might emerge with a greatly improved understanding and appreciation of what BUZZ actually is, and what BUZZOLOGY is all about.

7. Give yourself a Christmas present. In fact, give your website, blog or newsletter greater visibility, search engine prominence, visitor traffic, stickiness, dynamic content and power. Grab our widget, and just put it on your site. It's free. It's priceless. It's yours for the taking.

You can get it by scrolling down on the right-hand margin at http://thenationalnetworkerweblog.blogspot.com/, or by just taking it by clicking on the button beneath the widget on this very page (Note: If the widget does not appear below in beautiful form and in all of its glory, it might be because of your browser, operating system, Ben Bernanke, or because you were simply not good this year. If this should be the case, then just grab it by going to http://thenationalnetworkerweblog.blogspot.com/, or if that url is too long for you, by going to http://twitlik.com/Daily )








With the promise of great things to come,

Adam J. Kovitz, Chairman and CEO
Douglas Castle, Vice Chairman and food-taster for the Chairman and CEO*

THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES...WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO:

The NATIONAL NETWORKER Newsletter is actually the gateway to THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES, and their services. TNNW is, and will continue to be our flagship publication, and it will continue to be free. For everyone's edification (and to address a wonderfully direct question from Featured Columnist Beth Barany) here's the the picture, in brief:

We are going to be changing our company name to THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES LLC. This "umbrella company" will be the parent company to a number of Divisions, each of which will provide its own group of services. In general terms, THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES LLC, (the "Holding Company") as an entity, will be in three businesses through its Divisions. And now...

Take a look at our Divisional Logos, and what goodies will be available to you under each. In our next Update!, we will give you the specific services (and page coordinates) for every single service category. Then, you'll be using us more than any plumbing appliance. Also, note that we will be servicing and supporting everything thing that we provide. It's not a "sale"....its the beginning of a partnership with every one of our clients.

Publishing and providing business news, information, research and intelligence for the benefit of its members through newsletters, news feeds, special bulletins, surveys, announcements, news releases, webinars, forums videos and events. The news, information, research and intelligence will be focused on all aspects of becoming successful personally and professionally -- in your life and in your career. Our membership is comprised of executives, entrepreneurs and professionals. They are united in their desire to achieve greater success, and in their desire to network, connect, collaborate and to become part of a greater community for the sharing of resources, and ultimately, for sharing in the profits of the world's first Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community (GICBC), which the Founders of the Holding Company believe will be the next form of business entity. Membership is free and is automatically granted with subscription to The TNNW Newsletter, and services are only provided to members. Ultimately, the Holding Company will be member-owned, with members becoming contributors and stakeholders in an internationally-diversified company. We promote authorship and a synergistic masterminding of ideas. We are changing ideas and energy into plans, progress, products and profits for our members and with our members.



Providing a suite of unique, innovative and powerful services for the benefit of all members. These services will not be available to the general public-at-large, and will include: PUBLICITY, NEWS RELEASES, MARKET RESEARCH, SURVEYS, CALENDAR POSTING, INTERNATIONAL AGENT/ DISTRIBUTOR and REPRESENTATION SERVICES, PUBLISHING, RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES and FINANCING SERVICES.

Providing social media domination, image-building, branding and other buzz-related services through our own, internally-built Buzzworks Team. We have the ability to popularize individuals, ideas, products, publications for the benefit of our members. Buzzworks does its magic for members in connection with the services offered through the other Divisions. Our Principal Product has the unlikely name of "BRUTE FORCE REQUEST". We're not kidding.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is who we are and what we do. We are privately owned, but we will be a ground-breaking GICBC (you can Google it... it is an acronym for "Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community") before you know it.

PROGRESS -

We are integrating our websites, blogsites and services to make them more user-friendly, more user-interactive and easier to navigate than ever before. We are finalizing the terms of affiliation with several other service-providers and international cause-centered organizations, including a Not-For-Profit [IRS Section 501(c)3] Foundation. Expect event announcements, fundraisers, contests, and real-time, real-space interaction.

PROGRAMS and PRODUCTS -
Just watch.

During the course of the most recent 12-month period, our subscribership has grown by more than 24%, and it is growing at an accelerating pace. This past November 1st, all Subscribers automatically became Members. All Members of record (as of that date) will be receiving special benefits, and will be thumbing their noses at you late-joiners in early 2010.

In the coming year will be more highly-focused on corroborative Member projects, personalized connecting, and edgy (which rhymes with "wedgie," but we would not say that) articles from some of our new Featured Columnists.

We will be promoting our our TNNWC (the National Networker Companies) suite of services very aggressively to our growing Membership while constantly incorporating your indispensible feedback in the ever-evolving process of improving each of them.

COMMUNITY -

We are not just a group of publications. We are not just a services provider. We are a community, and it is our pledge to use this potentialized, exponentialized critical-mass Supermind to aggressively and proactively assist every Member in attaining his or her goals for self-growth and professional, financial success.


NEW COMMENT BUTTON -

Many of our highly-opinionated and inordinately vociferous readers have been complaining that they would like a "comment" button embedded right in each article posting so that they could just click on it with their views, questions, ideas, suggestions, criticisms and rhubarb pie recipes (one elderly woman from Minnesota actually did want to send us recipes). Your wish has been granted...the following button will now be embedded in every article so that you may click, instantly access a pop-up form, and engage in an excoriating diatribe, a passionate rant, a productive suggestion, or a compliment to one of our talented but deeply tormented writers (think of Edgar Allen Poe, Sylvia Plath, or Ernest Hemingway).

Would you just look at this button? Think of how easy it will now be to give us your BackTalk.

The reader of this article reads the article (which is actually redundant as well as self-evident) at his or her own risk, and the publisher (and its employees, officers, directors, affiliaties, subsidiaries, agents, assigns, next-of-kin, concubines, janitorial staff, janitorial staph, casual acquaintances, etcetera, etcetera) assumes no liability, responsibility, or blame.

Dear Readers:

The brief article which follows appeared in the NEW YORK POST moments ago. To some, it would appear to be bad news for UNILEVER, the manufacturer of the popular SLIM-FAST drink. I see this as a perfect example of how putting the right spin on a news item can change everything. Their announcement follows. My revised version appears after the actual version. Remember -- publicity requires a great deal of creativity and is not recommended for the non-professional. It would be very unprofessional and unethical if I were to point out that you should be using TNNW's News Release Services (COMING SOON!) to utilize the media to your best possible advantage in a public relations or publicity campaign, and so I will not do that.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

Diarrhea-Fast

Last Updated: 6:21 AM, December 5, 2009
Posted: 4:42 AM, December 5, 2009

Unilever announced yesterday it voluntarily recalling all its Slim-Fast drinks due to a possible bacterial contamination.

The company said in a statement the diet products may be contaminated with Bacillus cereus, a micro-organism that can cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, but the chance of serious health problems was "remote."

The recall involves all Slim-Fast RTD products in cans.

My revision of the article:

Slim-Fast: Faster Than Ever

Last Updated: 6:21 AM, December 5, 2009
Posted: 4:42 AM, December 5, 2009

Unilever announced yesterday a tremendous breakthrough and enhancement in its very popular line of Slim-Fast drinks.

For a few lucky consumers of the time-honored weight-reduction product (perhaps one in every 1,000, chosen at random), their purchases will contain a new, scientifically-proven, environmentally-friendly, colon-cleansing, enhancement! This incredible accelerant is actually a simple bacillus which increases the efficiency of the entire gastro-intestinal tract, greatly speeding up the weight-loss process without the use of dangerous appetite suppressants or drugs. The company is in the process of patenting this special bacillus, a spokesperson said.

The company said in a statement that through its aggressive test-marketing campaign, code-named "Operation Bazooka," certain randomized cans of the products, already on shelves at many stores, have been enhanced with Bacillus cereus, the eco-friendly micro-organism that many are heralding as "one of Mother Nature's best laxatives ever!" Some lucky consumers will likely be very, very surprised.

The company's vice president of new product development said he expects Unilever's share of the weight-loss drink market to increase exponentially as consumers get word of the explosive development.

Rumors that Unilever is also about to unveil new lines of adult diapers, bathroom deodorizers, antiemetics and a product which would compete head-to-head with Preparation H, were unconfirmed.
