Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

CREATING CHAOS

19-06-05

Creating Chaos

(—and benefitting from confusing competitors/enemies.)

This is a Controversial theory but then when it comes to internet/e-commerce/m-commerce/Convergence etc., no one knows what will work & what will not.

Somewhere (Creating a Tornado), I said, “we Simply cannot depend upon MSPF to promote WWJ/JAM. We will have to do our own marketing — our own publicizing — our own promotion. Fight our own battle”.

And we need to do all of these — without spending any money!

This is not going to be easy! It will require a lot of imagination & hard work too.

Only thing which we have — and which we can leverage to get publicity is our

Job Advt. Database

[ Our only “asset” — as of now ]

We must learn to “use” this database in “umpteen” different ways, to unlock its “true” value.

Again & again, we must dress it up differently, for different “Target-Groups”.

Target-groups which can start an

Idea Virus.

It is in this context, I propose

3 new “services” as per web-pages enclosed.

These are slight variations of JAS — which should not require much coding effort.

On the other hand, it is entirely possible that, with these, we may succeed in starting a TORNADO.

Let us discuss soon
