Everyone Wants to Do it – Start an online business
I enjoy learning about people’s interests, and what makes them tick. A couple years ago I became a “expert” in the allexperts.com/ep/1089-90814/E-Commerce-Web-Business/Michael-Michelini.htm ecommerce category of All Experts. At first I was going to do the category in import/export, but even still I am not an expert in international trade – my passion still is the MIX of internet, marketing, and …
If Chinese Scientists Lose Google, Its Like Going Blind
Had to post this…..its amazing……will Google really leave China ? The news I’ve been reading it is highly unlikely. But the news loves hearing about the battle between Chinese government and Google.

As China Office is empty- USA is busier then ever
This longggggg China New Year holiday drives me insane – as I’m sure a lot of other business owners (chinese and foreign) – it still amazes me how a country of such size and current global influence can completely shut down – so many of my favorite restaurants are still closed. Things should start opening up again friday and the …
