Internet Marketing

In reference to class held on Wednesday 09/03/08 (sorry for the delay but I was just finally

able to activate my blog!).  Well today Professor Wymbs had a general discussion about the Internet and the direction that is taking.  How Internet access has evolved from exclusively for information to many other transactions and applications from anywhere in the world.  Also we discussed the infinite possibilities that Internet offers to marketeers.  The ability to reach individuals regardless of location and the easiness to apply the four marketing P’s through this medium has spawned thousands of job opportunities and entrepreneurs everyday.  Professor Wymbs also explained how the Internet is packet based.  In other words, one terminal sends information over the Internet, then the network transforms this info into raw data packets (for faster transportation) that are read through a standard global language TCP/IP, this data gets to the other end and it is put together again in order to be in the original state it was sent.  We briefly discussed the web 2.0 and how is helping more and more to create and sustain online communities where people not only buy/sale/trade/advertise/etc. products but also socialize and mingle with other individuals regardless of location in the world.
