Masks at frontline of defence

Human influenza (Bird Flu) is spread from person to person mainly by droplets sneezed or coughed from an infected person into the air.

Warnings of the need to be prepared has been thrashed about in the news in recent weeks. An article online at nzheralds.co.nz covered the basic strategies to reduce the risk of spreading the virus if it hits the shores.

Face masks are expected to form a key defence against the spread of a bird flu pandemic

Gloves, goggles and hand washes are other ways recommended to reduce the spread of virus.

Nextday is looking into developing a bird flu kit that would supply the above items for a one stop-shop in case the pandemic hits. Nextday specialises in niche online shopping sites with a small product range.

Happy New Year!

Online Sales to Surpass Catalog Sales by 2007

Online sales from consumers purchasing off the internet is estimated to overtake catalog sales within 18 months.

The 2005 Abacus Multi-Channel Retail Annual Trend Report, which came out at the beginning of August found that:

Direct sales totaled $23.4 billion in 2004, up 10 percent from 2003, with web-based sales accounting for 38 percent of those sales. That compares with 32 percent in 2003 and 28 percent in 2002, leading Abacus to estimate that online sales would overtake catalog sales within 18 months.

Ten years on and the Net is still confounding the pundits

Like all great ideas the Net was received initially with skepticism, disdain and dismissed as a fad. A columnist for Time magazine explaining why the Net would never go mainstream wrote: "It was not designed for doing commerce, and it does not gracefully accommodate new arrivals. Newsweek put the doubts more bluntly in a February 1995 headline: "THE INTERNET? BAH!" The article was written by astrophysicist and Net maven Cliff Stoll, who captured the prevailing skepticism of virtual communities and online shopping with one word: "baloney."

Ten years on from the above comments and I don't know if anyone would have predicted the Internet would be this big. Online shopping has found its place in the world. As the Internet continues to grow, more people will experience buying, selling or trading goods online. The article in Ohmynews.com points out that:

The cost of connecting keeps falling, as a result the Net has grown and is growing at an exponential rate connecting millions of people in a global conversation of unprecedented proportions
