RE: [uk-netmarketing] Re: fall of the dotcoms?

[Kevin]

Ashley, this is precisely the thinking behind the programme. We want to

outline the often disastrous mistakes that we made that involved people

losing jobs and money. However we are more than willing to listen to people

who have taken on board those mistakes and are ensuring that there own plans

will not go belly up but will be a rip roaring success worthy of the Money

Programme.


Would you care to be so frank in front of the camera about mistakes made and

the potential for learning?


If so drop me a line and we can talk over the phone,


kevin

	>>>>the .com crash is all sound and thunder signifying nothing<<<<


	But that's what the public, the television audience, the people who

sell

	advertising, want - sound and thunder, not rain. As marketing

people,

	sound and thunder is our job. It's what we do. We should be

applauding

	this television person, not deriding him. I would much rather watch

a

	television programme about failing dot-coms than a balanced portrait

of

	modern business. The former wins awards, sells advertising, and gets

shown

	at 08:30 on Channel 4 with narration by Bob Cringely, whereas the

latter

	becomes part of the Money Programme on BBC2. Why? Because it's more

	interesting to watch people blundering about, making mistakes, than

it is

	watching organisations calmly go about their business.
