After that, it's anybody's guess, but in those 2 years people are going to social websites. How much of that will be in physical locations? Well -- some proportion of it will. The best results will come from those who combine online networking (such as LinkedIn.com) with in-person events such as the LinkedIn events that are being put on in various cities.

But the one thing I would say in defense of snail mail is this: as more mail gravitates to the Web, we are likely to see a contrarian attitude toward snail mail. What I mean is, that as snail mail becomes more rare, what little there is will get more attention. Because it will BE rare. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :) Anita Hi Joel, I suspect many people are like you.

Their customers want a decent pizza hot and fast. The offer? 30 minutes or less or it’s free." They could deliver it it within 30 minutes from ordering it on the phone? That's quick. It is not so common with home deliveries of pizzas in Sweden yet. I like the tip on "friend hunting". I want to create a physical meeting places for entrepreneurs and business minded individuals in Europe and North America. “Domino’s Pizza. Their customers want a decent pizza hot and fast.

I like singing a lot, and try to be the Pied Piper, myself. My observation on direct snail mail marketing: It will not be as popular in 2 years. The net is changing, and has changed everything. Here is what I do with direct mail, 95% of the time: I don't even look at it. I throw it out. My Mom probably reads it, but my age group....I am really not so sure. Again, great article. The Franchise King Joel Libava Anita,
