Over $40 billion has been spent on The Beijing Olympics.[1]  The rationale, at least as Bob Costas described it on the NBC broadcast, was that much of the infrastructure was developed for these Olympics and for future use.

Joe Biden wasn’t a good candidate in ‘88, but is a good candidate in light of current situation in the White House. [2]

Electric cars weren’t a priority until the ice caps started melting. [3]

It’s been said that the best time to look for job is when you don’t need one.  The best time to take a risk is when you can handle a loss.

So, why does it take a major catalyst to cause people to change?

It’s a weird psychological issue that I don’t understand but there’s a part of us that makes decisions on the premise that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  [4] Actually, that’s the easiest time to fix it because you know what works.  You don’t have to worry about what happens if it fails.  The back-up system is already in place.

Any thoughts on the subject?

I think we’re all trying to figure out if Twitter is working. It seems to be by these stats (Jul 1 Through Aug 22) that the the social networking is as effective as any other type of marketing when looking at the quality of traffic. So if you were hesitant to join Facebook or MySpace or Twitter… now you have a reason to.

Those Channing Frye people need to stop and smell the roses!
