To cover this global explosion of pioneering business activity,
Home Page Press, Inc. has launched Online Business Today(TM).
Concentrating on hard facts, serious interviews, business
success and failure in cybermarketing, Online Business Today
(OBT) is delivered every business day to subscribers via Internet
e-mail.
"Critical Internet business information can't wait for printing and
mailing anymore. One month on the Internet's fast track is a
business eternity. So much is happening so fast; our subscribers
demand serious Internet business information as early as possible.
Consequently, we publish daily and deliver using Internet e-mail,"
said Jeffrey Shapiro, Editor-in-Chief.
The popular press deserves credit for covering the highlights of the
so-called business discovery of the Internet and the Web's
emergence. However, OBT is an objective business resource that
sorts out and reports the realities of doing business in cyberspace.
"The cybercommerce opportunity is unlike any in history. There is
little experience from which to learn. Many businesses are sitting
on the fence, aware of the hype, and waiting for reliable pointers
in the industry to show them the way. There are few proven
guidelines in this extraordinary frontier. How cybercommerce will
develop no one knows. Regardless of what happens, OLB will
cover the business stories, dig for the truth, report the facts,"
Shapiro added.
