Other newsletters would give you only ONE Product/Service of the Week. Some might extend themselves a bit to give you TWO. However, here at The National Networker, we offer you THREE.

For those of you who are arithmophiles (a lingovation), this is 300% of what the competition offers.

Here they are:

1. NEWS RELEASES and a vastly-expanded PR capability: The most cost-effective way of immediately reaching a giant audience.

Click on http://tnnwcservices1.blogspot.com/. *NOTE: THIS PAGE WILL BE RE-FORMATTED BY February 1st, barring any Act of God or Force Majeure (that's French, but may well be misspelled - we fired our editor to save some money so that the TNNW Executives could drive bigger, fancier cars).

We do not simply offer you what PR Web and PR Newswire offer you...they are merely broadcast media, unless you request that they do a great deal more; then, watch your wallet! -- We are a full-service, full-focus operation.

We do it all...headline it, get it written, get it edited, stuff it with keywords and hyperlinks, submit it to the right geographical and vertical markets, track it, re-publish it, and more! We use those other newswire services as broadcasters, too (they have a tremendous market domination) - but we get to your target market with a surgical strike, and maximum MEANINGFUL exposure. We will not send out a useless raft of press releases which will either be ignored or unpublished. We get you published in the right places so that you get the optimal results. We do not "scattergun." We help you structure a meaningful thematic news release campaign, and we strike with precision.

2. THE NATIONAL NEWSPICKER: Get this gadget now. Get the jump on everything you need to know every day – in 20 minutes. You can pick your friends. You can pick your news. At TNNW, we have done the unthinkable. Click on http://thenationalnewspickerpage.blogspot.com/. The actual button is so unsightly that we have chosen not to show it here in it's full-sized version.

NOTE: THIS GADGET IS PERMANENTLY AVAILABLE FOR POSTING ON YOUR HOMEPAGES, WEBSITES, BLOGS, NEWSLETTERS AND ALL SOCIAL MEDIA. IT HAS BEEN SPICED UP, JUICED UP AND HAS EVEN MORE ADDITIONAL NEWS AND INTEL SOURCES. It can now even be re-sized to fit the format of your page better than ever before!

This service can energize your brand, your image, your credibility, your internet presence, your website traffic, your conversion rate and your sales.

Take TNNW SURVEY #6

TNNW Survey #6: Take Your Own Personal "Human Asset Value" Inventory.

You bring your automobile in for an inspection to determine if it needs repairs. You check your investment portfolio to see how well your assets are performing. You review your bank statement to be certain that you can cover your bills. You appraise your property. You prepare balance sheets for your businesses. Comment: It might be a good idea to take a Personal Asset Value Inventory -- a self-appraisal -- from time to time. Start today. Invest a bit of time in taking an honest look at yourself...strong points, weak points, all points. What you reveal to yourself in this exercise might help you to make some refinements, and to better plan for a happier, more fulfilling and prosperous future.

We have not assigned "weights" or "priorities" to any factors, and there is no grading. Once the results are in, we will conduct another survey to assign weights to the various factors, so that you will have a means of rating yourself in comparison to others. But for the moment, your answers to the survey will just provide you with some food for thought...and thinking is good exercise; the more you use your mind, the stronger it becomes.

You'll be glad that you made this self-investment. And we at THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES thank you for your participation. Now let's get on with the collaborative process of helping each other to be more successful.

It is self-evaluation time. We must do this before we can evaluate others effectively.

Please be advised that the survey contains 45 questions...so be prepared to dedicate some time to thinking about each question, and answer honestly -- never try to fool yourself.

Relax, focus and enjoy the adventure of self-discovery.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
THE NATIONAL NETWORKER COMPANIES

BLUE THING #1: TNNW Surveys, Analyses and Findings

A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN: The Price of Information

THE PRICE OF INFORMATION
by Adam J. Kovitz

Two of my biggest passions are both education and the flow of information (although one can argue that they are one in the same).

At the recent South by Southwest Interactive Conference in Austin, Texas, one of the hot topics of conversation was "real-time web", or the concept of instantaneously broadcasting information over the internet as soon as it's created.

While currently great in theory, the main hindrance is that of people's privacy. Scott Raymond, founder of Gowalla, an Austin-based app development firm stated, "It's kind of in our best interest, being selfish, if everyone was completely open with their data."

But being open with data is not something most people, especially corporations are apt to do. Proponents of open data sharing believe that all information on the web should be free. At The National Networker Companies, we certainly make our Intelligence Products freely available, but can everyone afford to do so?

Hypothetically speaking, if all information were free, how would people make money?

I remember seeing a very powerful advertisement around the turn of this past century on a commuter train (back in the days when I used to do that) for a company that I forgot; it showed two distinct pictures: one of the Milky Way Galaxy and another of a single star. The caption below the Milky Way simply stated, "Information", while the caption below the star stated, "Intelligence".

In a world of free information, I believe that money can still be made through the proper collecting, compiling and disseminating the data into "intelligence" and implementing such intelligence into products and services for others.

But how does this effect education? I recently read that many state universities in the United States, due to State Budget Deficits, are being forced to raise tuition by as much as 30% for the 2010-2011 school year, putting many students in jeopardy of being turned away from a college education. From the standpoint of someone who considers themselves both a humanist, internationalist and futurist, this is of deep concern to me - we are failing as a society.

Yet it seems to me somewhat paradoxical that as more free information is made available daily (and increasingly so), the price of a college education is skyrocketing.

Should this trend keep up, there will be a "black market" for college education and degrees. Traditional Accreditation Boards that regulate and oversee standards in college education will lose power and be undermined as other "underground" ones are set up. Out of work educators stand to gain as they will set up non-traditional colleges and universities that are more affordable to the masses.

Corporations, looking for talent will first look for more traditional degrees but will be forced to accept such non-traditional degrees as the upcoming mass exodus of the baby boomer generation will leave plenty of job opportunities available in the next several years.

In this possible future, might the education market be corrected?

I would hate to find out...in these current times, one thing is for sure...we will continue seeing the struggling forces of reform versus status quo play out until there is demonstrable improvement not just for a small handful of people, but for everyone.

All my best,

Adam
