However, some less than scrupulous businesses started sending these letters for every debt on a person's credit report which created a glut of useless form letters clogging up the system. The use of form letters has been abused to the extent that now credit reporting agencies and creditors will not accept a form letter as a recognized method of disputing an irregularity.

"This is also the reason removing DRM would be suicide for Publishers and Authors"

So are you saying that BaenBooks, Feedbooks and SteveJordanBooks are all dead because they sell their books DRM free? I had not noticed that and I buy a lot of books from them even if they are all DRM free and some even dollar free. I will buy a DRM free book before one that is crippled because I own more than one kind of reader and would like to read it where ever I wish and on whatever device I wish, including my computer. I am afraid that your comment doesn't pass my smell test.

The banking industry, including the FDIC, seems interested in helping the consumer paydown the almost one trillion dollars in consumer credit card debt by offering incentives.

There will be no true economic recovery until the almost one trillion dollars in consumer credit card debt that everybody with influence or wealth pretends is not there, is addressed.

Post : (Founder Stories) Seth Sternberg On The Early Days Of Meebo: "We Did Not Get It." URL : http://techcrunch.com/2011… Posted : May 7, 2011 at 8:10 am Author : Josh Zelman Tags : Founder stories, Meebo, seth sternberg Categories : Company & Product Profiles, TechCrunch TV [tc_ooyala code="ZiY2plMjq-kq8sJkwfTuQEPa3cxPB8Ce"] Meebo (http://www.crunchbase.com/person…) and his team had for “file sharing between friends that had IM in it.” Those early days of development saw more misses than hits—“kind of depressing” says Sternberg in this episode of Founder Stories. After more than a year of tinkering, Meebo finally found its magic formula and launched in 2005. Right from the get-go they heard from their users, but admittedly didn’t totally grasp the scope of what they created. As Sternberg admits, “a lot of commerce sites were calling, bloggers were calling and we did not get it.” In the above clip, Sternberg explains why. In part II of the interview below, Sternberg and host Chris Dixon (http://www.crunchbase.com/person…) discuss the importance of understanding the respective roles of the team—and keyed in on the evolving role of the businessperson. "I was the one who couldn't code, therefore I was the CEO," says Sternberg. “As the businessperson pre-launch I was buying the sandwiches… frankly the businessperson for a start up doesn’t do a lot pre-launch,” he says. Dixon comments on this thought by saying, “I have seen teams breakup before they got to that point because of that feeling of imbalance.” However, such perceived imbalance can quickly turn into an invaluable asset. As Dixon and Sternberg note, it is the businessperson who can help strike deals and raise money for the team once the engineers actually have something worth selling. Part II of the interview is below. Past episodes of Founder Stories can be found here (http://techcrunch.tv/founder…) .

I think the expansion of TAF is directly related to downgrades. For example:

The change covers bonds backed by closed-end second mortgages or one-time home equity loans, as opposed to equity lines of credit. On April 24, S&P cut $13.1 billion of second- mortgage bonds created last year, or 73 percent of the total.

Great post! I like this line from your post: "Well, according to Seth Godin, author of The Dip, winners do quit and quitters do win—provided that quitting is strategic". I always tell my clients that there are certain steps to quit a job that they want to follow. These steps will change ones inner energy first to get into alignment with what a person really wants.
