What is the ancestor for Ecommerce ??

It was the year 1960 , the first ever step in making the history of Ecommerce

--The developmnet of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

EDI is a set of standards developed to exchange business information and to to electronic transactions.

In the early stage, there were several EDI formats that business could use, so many companies might not be able to interact with each other.

However in 1982, ASC X12 standard became stable and reliable in transfering large amounts of transctions.

The next major step occurred in 1992 when the Mosaic web-browser was made available, it was the first ‘point and click’ browser.

The Mosaic browser was quickly adapted into a downloadable browser, Netscape, which allowed easier access to electronic commerce.

The development of DSL was another key moment in the development to of e-commerce. DSL allowed quicker access and a persistent connection to the Internet.

.

Until today, ecommerce has been a media for world wide business transaction play a major role in the world of business of now a days.

The End

Google is changing everything~

.
"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful"
.

Google as Search Engine

Guy In Green: ARgh~ I need more information to proceed with my research, where can I get them?
.

Friend In Blue : Whats the headache? Is simple dude, just "GOOGLE UP"?
.

The word "GOOGLE UP" has been widely used in our daily conversation which means look through the information from google.com. Google.com is owned by Google Inc. and it is the most-used search engine on the Web. It is available in over 20 types of language around the world such as Afrikaans Chinese,Bulgarian,Arabic,Danish,Dutch and etc. Therefore, there is no doubt that Google has been identified as the most powerful brand in the world.

.

Besides that, it has make our life more simple, instead of troubling yourself to search the information from websites to websites, what we have to do is just key in the keyword, and the websites regarding the information we seek will appear.

Google as Mass Storage For E-mails

Lady Gaga : Hey J.T, you been sitting there for hours,what are you doing?
.
. J.T : I'm having difficulties in deciding which E-mail to delete because of limited space in my Inbox.
.

In the 20th century, most of the time we will use E-mail to communicate with each other such as in business field to communicate with client, in education field to communicate within student and lecturers or even making new friends. Sometimes, most of us will have problem in making decision on which E-mail to delete because of limited storage in out E-mail account.

.

This matter has been solved ever since Google Inc. had introduced Gmail.
Most of the E-mail account only offers up to 4MB free space, while Gmail currently offers 7300MB to their users. The user can store over 1000 of E-mails and they won't have to worry about deciding which E-mail to delete anymore.

.
There is no wonder Gmail ranked 2nd in PC worlds 100 best products back in 2005.
.

Google Maps
Other than that, if you have difficulties searching for place that you wanted to go, feel free to click on Google map. It is a web mapping service application and technology which provide high resolution satellite images for a lot of countries and cities including Malaysia. After keying in the places you wanted to go, the Google map will direct you from your current place to your destination. To us, this is a really convenient technology provided by Google.

An Example of an E-Commerce Failure and its Causes

Kibu.com, a company which shutted down in 2000 just after 46 days online. The site was targeting teenage young girls focusing on fashion, music, and boys. Despite having US$22 million in funding from high-profile investors which included Jim Clark of Netscape fame, Kibu officials admitted bad market conditions for advertising-based business models convinced management and the investors to shut down the site.

.

The failure of Kibu.com was just like one of the many overfunded and under thought out initiatives in the kids and teens market. The massive amount of funding and low overhead costs might be one of the causes because most people learnt that running a dot-com was not that hard. However, poor management in a company causes crash and burn whether it's in sanitation or manufacturing or online. 46 days of operations were also not enough for getting the notice of targeted users.

.

Although kids market is profitable but the failure of Kibu.com was most probably caused by the mismanagement which leaded the company to shutting down. Its timing in financial markets could not have been worse.

These are the 5 websites that I visit the most:

- www.facebook.com - a website which allows me to contact with my friends and play minigames through some applications.

- www.friendster.com - it allows me to contact with my friends too, just that it doesn't have so many applications which bring so much fun. However some of my friends are not using Facebook so that I still have to keep my Friendster account.
