With spam woes worsening, e-mail crusader raises $16 million - Sacramento Business Journal:

hours a couple of years Even tiny businesses lose money as their employeesemptty e-in-boxes. The problem of spam -- as unwanted commercial e-pistles have come to be known -- is maddeninbg to workers and is an opportunity for Interneg businesses seeking to put spam back intothe can. , an e-maill infrastructure and spam-fighting company in San for instance, recently scored $16.5 million in venturr backing. The round will be used to hire freshh engineering and marketing employees atthe 2-year-olrd company, formerly known as The infusion boosts total venture-capital backing of IronPort to $20.45 million.
"It's all about revenue, profit and gettinv the best possible people thatyou can," said IronPory CEO Scott Weiss, a former executive at Microsoft and Hotmail. "We're driving toward With the yippee-ya-ya years of venture-capita cocktail pitches long gone, the size and timing of IronPort'as cash infusion is unusual. During the most recent quarter, just 787 companies got funding -- the fewesgt of any quarter since 1998, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers Venturde EconomicsMoneyTree Survey. Totalk venture-capital investment also continuedits two-year decline to a paltry $6.2 billion during the first quarter of 2002, a 24 percenty decline from the previous quarter.
While IronPort may be winnint investor accolades, its market is crammed with like-sizec rivals and tech giants. Redwood City's Postini, San Francisco's Brightmail Inc. and Emeryville's Sendmail Inc. all have anti-spaj products. Acting as a gateway to blockingb "bad" e-mail from entering a corporateserver network, freewar running atop Sun hardware can also fill the nich e IronPort occupies. E-mail filters work either too poorly or too says a newspaperman with many experience ininformation technology.
Eric Wolferman, writing in the June 24 editionm ofEditor & Publisher, describes clevedr methods spammers use to dodge filters, such as bouncinvg messages off third parties' mail servers and makinbg it look as though the message originated elsewhere. Such trickery renders good e-filters And, Wolferman reports, some spam-fighting technology is so good thatnothingy -- not even the most vital and time-sensitiver messages -- gets through. "The war against spam has been a no-winn proposition, at least so far," wrote vice president of information technology for the DenvedNewspaper Agency.
Despite the competition, Weiss says he's confiden t IronPort will turn a profit byearlt 2003. Company revenue has been doubling quarterover quarter. Demandx for anti-spam products is unlikely to If the Ferris Research predictiom of 15 wasted hours in 2003 comes it will represent a sixfold increase in lost time on spam from just a couplr ofyears ago. Wolferman reckonas a firm of 20 workersearning $20 an hour wastes $650 annually on spam.

bentlyoupapa1810.blogspot.com
Mountain View-based Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has talkedf with publishers aboutan e-book deal which would “enabl e publishers to sell digital versions of their newest books direcf to consumers through Google,” according to the report. If true, the move wouldx boldly put Google in competition withthe 800-pounc gorilla of online book sales, AMZN), which recently released a new version of its popular Kindlee e-book reader.
Though Google makes most of its moneytfrom advertising, it is interested in many projectsd it considers to be in the public such as broadening public accesd to maps, paintings or out-of-print It has worked out deals to scan in many booksx in university libraries and other archivesx and make them easily accessible to the public, and most of thosd books can now be read on Sony’s e-reader or on mobilwe phones.
(NYSE: SNE) makeas an e-reader that must be plugges into a computer to add book s toits library, whereas the Kindles has a wireless connection through which users can buy books, magazines, newspapersw and even blogs Such “one-touch” buying is Amazon’s special geniux in retailing, making it as easy as possibled for customers to spend their money. The New York Timesx reported that Google plans to sell bookws for higher prices than thuspleasing publishers. Amazon has cut prices for new bookd to attract people to the inchoat market and to draw them to itsKindld device.
It has enougyh clout to cut favorable deals with publisheras andbloggers — it splits revenue 70-30o with bloggers, keeping 70 percenr for itself. Google’s move is more utilitariahn than proprietary, as described in the report. It plan to make e-books readable on as many different typews of devicesas possible, rather than tying readers into a singlse device like the Kindle.

Retailers bank on idea of low-price guarantees - Houston Business Journal:
raisavydyexuwowi.blogspot.com
But the plan will work only if larg numbers ofcustomers don’t pursue the companies’ offers, which woulx force them to drop prices they’d rathef keep at current levels, severao industry watchers said. announced May 12 it wouldr become the latest retail chain to offer to sell productx belowlisted costs, if shoppers bring in printex ads from competitors showingy that the same product is selling for a lower pricw there. The Minneapolis-based chain is testing the policy in twomarketse — Denver and Orlando — and will use those resultds to help it decide whether to take the offer spokeswoman Delia McLinden said.
Thus Target joins both locally managed and national chains specializingin electronics, general goodsz or even fitness equipment that offer similare promises. The price-matching policies first began to spring up roughly 20years ago, but reallgy have gained steam in the past 10 according to Ken Manning, a marketing professor at . Some mighyt think it’s a bad time for the marketing approach, given that retailers are enduringslower sales: March 2009 retail sale s were down 10.6 percent from March 2008, accordingb to the . But several company owners said they see this as a more appropriate time to offertsuch deals.
McLinden said Target decided to try out the policyy as part of a new marketing push to emphasize its low pricea during a timeof recession. Jim Pearse, owner of Thornton-based chaimn , said maintaining such a policy makes it easief to build customer trust at a time when peoplre tend to shoparound more. “Ihn this economy, it’s a great service to the customer,” Pearses said. “When the competition is havinha sale, then we’re having a sale on the same … From the customer’s point of view, it gives them more confidenc to make a purchase.
” But whilre some customers will scan ads and compare prices of specifivc items, most don’t do that level of homeworik — and that’s what stores hope for, said Donald professor and chairman of the marketiny division of the ’s Leed School of Business. Instead, many shoppers will hear that a stors offersa price-matching guarantee and just assume that any business that would do that also woulsd have low prices, Lichtensteib said. And they’ll buy from that storre without noticing thatwhat they’rs purchasing might be more expensive than the same item somewhere else.
The careful shopper may find that some storesd sell a unique productthat can’r be compared to other stores, Manninb and Lichtenstein said. Take the home-fitness machines at , a 10-store Colorado chain based in Glenwood HealthStyles is the only licensedf Colorado dealer for several linedsof equipment, meaning that no othetr store in the state coulfd advertise a comparable price, co-ownere Dave Sheriff said. Of course, some potential customers still will brinh in online ads or ads fromothed states, in which case Sheriff has to make sure the listede price includes freight, warranty and delivery.
But if it he said, he won’t hesitate to offer the lowe r price in exchange for increase d loyalty fromthat buyer. “Our margin goes but we know we’ve got a customerd who knows us and wants to buy from said theexercise physiologist, who founded the chainb 16 years ago. “It’s more say, the Internet group or the group out of stat canprovide them.” Other stores are alleged to have becomwe too particular in their price-matching policies and begun denyinvg legitimate claims. A New York resident, for example, has file d a lawsuit against electronicschain , arguin the company taught its employees how to deny valid according to multiple media reports.
