Burger ID Security tag:www.ecommercetimes.com://1837b18c23439fc9b9137fabac99b032 "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." The oft-cited quotation from Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" seems apt when talking about the opportunity presented by digital communications and computing. It has also ushered in a new breed of cybercriminal who tries hard to use your personal information fraudulently. Part 2 of this two-part series asks, what are some of the new ways in which financial institutions and their technology providers are trying to better prevent online fraud? ]]> http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/new-layers-of-defense-id-theft-and-authentication-part-2/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-latest-research-trend-customers-behind-the-wheel/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-latest-research-trend-customers-behind-the-wheel/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:00:00 +0000 Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams Customer Service tag:www.ecommercetimes.com://ab8856de2c76b4f56cf74303ab5a353a Everyone knows about Dell's troubles of late. The hardware maker's once industry-leading "build-to-order" supply chain systems are now the norm, and it's fallen behind in design -- areas where competitors such as Apple and Sony excel. Customer service has deteriorated since it was outsourced to India so that customers can no longer rely on timely and informative service. Yet visiting with CEO redux Michael Dell, he looks like a new man and is pumped about the challenge of building what he calls "Dell 2.0." ]]> http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-latest-research-trend-customers-behind-the-wheel/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/jobs-cult-of-personality-gates-lack-of-personality/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/jobs-cult-of-personality-gates-lack-of-personality/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:00:00 +0000 Chris Tomlinson Entertainment tag:www.ecommercetimes.com://5439d8aa0b8c8ca7bec719b74d4f641d Have you ever wondered why Steve Jobs is always cast as the digital messiah and Bill Gates as the digital anti-Christ? Is it down to the merits of the technology they each have given to the world and the fact that people love Macs and hate PCs, or simply that Steve has a personality and Bill does not? Bill gets mostly maligned for creating technology that locks people into Microsoft. Yet, having just paid Pounds 50, or $98.21, for a replacement power lead for my iBook, only available from Apple, I'm inclined to argue that it's Steve who's got us sewn up. ]]> http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/jobs-cult-of-personality-gates-lack-of-personality/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-future-of-search-reaching-for-a-piece-of-googles-pie/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-future-of-search-reaching-for-a-piece-of-googles-pie/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:00:00 +0000 Erika Morphy Portals & Search tag:www.ecommercetimes.com://c8fa9cfb15d85882eb6f05578f7cb6fc Last year, when Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced plans to launch a new search engine in the first half of 2007, everyday users of this now ubiquitous tool wondered what Wales could do that Google couldn't. However, the search engine community knew better. Of course, Google reset the benchmark for search several years ago, which led to Merriam-Webster's dictionary listing of the company's name as a transitive verb. There is little doubt, though, among researchers and entrepreneurs in this space that one day Google will be competing with other providers. ]]> http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/the-future-of-search-reaching-for-a-piece-of-googles-pie/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/fuzzy-wikipedia-entry-leads-to-zoeller-lawsuit/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/fuzzy-wikipedia-entry-leads-to-zoeller-lawsuit/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:00:00 +0000 Patrick Danner Legal Issues tag:www.ecommercetimes.com://1d7e239c55b2a6c9c94e1bd6a12dd241 Pro golfer Fuzzy Zoeller is teed off over what he calls defamatory statements about him on Wikipedia. Instead of suing the popular online reference site, Zoeller is taking a swing at a Miami company. In a lawsuit filed last week in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Zoeller -- suing under the name John Doe -- alleged the statements were posted from a computer belonging to Josef Silny & Associates. Josef Silny, the company's president, expressed surprise when told this week by a reporter that the 1979 Masters champion was suing his company. ]]> http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/fuzzy-wikipedia-entry-leads-to-zoeller-lawsuit/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/real-estate-marketing-tools-the-most-powerful-tool-of-all/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/real-estate-marketing-tools-the-most-powerful-tool-of-all/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 11:37:37 +0000 Business: Marketing Articles from EzineArticles.com Uncategorized http://ezinearticles.com/?Real-Estate-Marketing-Tools:-The-Most-Powerful-Tool-of-All&id=466919 http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/25/real-estate-marketing-tools-the-most-powerful-tool-of-all/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/social-medias-as-business-tools/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/social-medias-as-business-tools/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 00:44:35 +0000 Business: Marketing Articles from EzineArticles.com Uncategorized http://ezinearticles.com/?Social-Medias-as-Business-Tools&id=460961 http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/social-medias-as-business-tools/feed/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/marketing-business-development-questionnaire-how-to-diagnose-your-needs-part-two/ http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/marketing-business-development-questionnaire-how-to-diagnose-your-needs-part-two/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2007 00:34:54 +0000 Business: Marketing Articles from EzineArticles.com Uncategorized http://ezinearticles.com/?Marketing-andamp;-Business-Development-Questionnaire:-How-to-Diagnose-your-Needs-Part-Two&id=466875 http://www.ecommerce-blog.com/2007/02/24/marketing-business-development-questionnaire-how-to-diagnose-your-needs-part-two/feed/
