Capital Gains Tax Breaks and The Coming Small Business Investment Boom | Growthink

Lots of banks are going under these days. Here are the best and worst among the 100 largest.Integrate Social Media Into Your Website - Social Media Integration Tips | Entrepreneur.com
Your website is your online center of operations, but if you use social media as part of your advertising, market positioning and promotional efforts, your presence is scattered across the web.10 Ways a Facebook Fan Page Helps Your Business - Facebook Fan Pages for Business | Entrepreneur.com
Facebook is a social network, not a shopping network, so why should any business spend resources establishing and maintaining a Fan Page on Facebook? (A Fan Page, by the way, is a profile for a business or organization rather than for an individual.) Because even if members have no intention of buying anything on Facebook, the relationships you establish and community you build there can benefit your business in countless ways.Success is All in the Attitude - Successful Entrepreneurial Attributes | Entrepreneur.com
What's important to the success of small-business owners and entrepreneurs? Knowledge, skill and talent.Delegate, Rejuvenate & Create | E-Myth Worldwide
Sometimes we get into ruts. We get used to doing business “our way” and we close ourselves off to the possibility that there might be another way. Maybe even… a better way. We repeat the same patterns and produce the same results and our business coasts along but never grows or evolves.DISQUS | Dealing with Spam

This will be busy week for employment related reports culminating with the BLS report on Friday. Here is some info on the impact of Census 2010 on employment, and the relationship between the ISM manufacturing report and BLS reported manufacturing payroll jobs.Are You Expat Material? | BNET
Most happy expats possess some similar traits: They’re adventurous, embrace unknown situations, have high self-esteem, and are generally outgoing. Still with us? OK. So what next? What do you ask yourself to make sure heading offshore is right for you? And how do you enhance your chances of landing the right job?IDEO’s Tim Brown: How to Build a Culture of Innovation | BNET
Mention great product design, and the responses are predictable: You’ll hear about Apple or perhaps BMW, companies that make stuff its customers touch, feel and enjoy. Tim Brown, the CEO of design powerhouse IDEO, is on a mission to change that idea, or at least expand upon it.Remote Working: Turning “Them” Into “Us” | BNET
The problem with team-building (remote or co-located) is that sometimes it feels like you’re trying really hard to be a good teammate, but other people are letting you down - it feels like it’s not you, it’s “them”. Whether “they” are head office, our guy in Birmingham or that inscrutable group in Bangalore, it’s impossible to create a truly effective team unless you start thinking “us”. We develop trust when our goals, motives and competencies are aligned. But when you are miles apart, how can managers ensure people are pulling in the same direction? Without getting all soppy, here are some tips for helping create stronger ties between team members.Fund Structures for Angel Funds and Early Stage Seed Venture Funds | Angel Blog

It’s a little known fact — the Earth’s geothermal resources could satisfy the world population’s power needs many times over. So why is it only generating little over 10 gigawatts of power globally? The prime reason: Few companies have figured out how to make the capital-intensive plants economically feasible. But geothermal conglomerate Ram Power may have found an answer with its new development in Nicaragua.2010 poised to be a big year for California renewables | VentureBeat
California is poised to meet its lofty renewable energy goals — at least on paper. Right now, 200 renewable energy products totaling 70 gigawatts of energy are under consideration in the state. Not all of them will pass muster — but their equivalent will need to be built in order to make the grade. That’s more than eight times the current 8,000 megawatts of renewable generation already in the works.2009’s top 9 forward-looking cleantech investments | VentureBeat
It was a big year for cleantech. After a dismal start in the first quarter, things picked up, leaving it in prime position to be one of the largest areas of investment in 2010. Overall, 2009 saw 356 deals totaling $4.85 billion, according to a new report released by Greentech Media. That’s six more deals than in 2008, but almost $3 billion less. Last year was a banner year for the sector, but this is also telling that investors leaned toward more smaller deals, mitigating risk while still placing their bets.Stealthy C3 raises $26M to manage carbon — but what will it actually be doing? | VentureBeat

Let me know what do you mean by "Perhaps you'd like to organize a local/regional resource center in Spain"? It sounds interesting. I´m happy to help, but first take a look at the info I´ve posted about me and what I´m up to. There´ll something about Virtual Gigs there too. I´m extremely busy with my awareness campaign, we have to think that over well. If you are still interested in VGigs after reading about the idea I should really send you our detailed Proposal.
Kind regards,
Pett
