Target Groups?

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

In business, a target group of
people can be seniors citizens,
teens and/or toddlers, for
example.

The target groups are people
an organization directs its
advertising message to, and
these people are likely to
purchase the organization's
product or service.

Target groups help with an
organization's mission, use of
resources and long-term
goals. It's a matter of survival
for an organization to figure-out
its target group/ market.

If an organization pin-points the
wrong target groups than it can't
make a profit or fulfill its
business mission.

Twitter Purchases Tweetdeck

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Twitter purchased TweetDeck,
an application for organizing
the display of tweets, for more
than $40 million using cash
and stock, per sources.

Twitter's PR account tweeted,
"For all those who might be
curious, we continue to not
comment on rumors."

Betaworks, a key investor in
TweetDeck, was not available
for comment.

A management stir-up, with
co-founder Ev Williams out
and Jack Dorsey back as head
of product, the company is
focusing on building/owning
Twitter's most compelling
features and interfaces.

In February, reports of
UberMedia, the leading
developer of apps and Web-
based services for Twitter
users and other social media
platforms, was in talks to
purchase Tweetdeck.

The deal didn't happen.

Around times of the deal chats
with UberMedia, Twitter
suspended UberMedia's
UberTwitter and twidroyd,
two popular apps used for
mobile Twitter access,
citing policy violations.

Twitter has been improving
its own main site as TweetDeck,
and many "Twitter clients"
began to surface over the
past two years.

Beware of "Here You Have" E-mail Virus

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

The virus, called "Here You Have,"
is a simple Trojan Horse that
security companies are calling by
different names.

An e-mail arrives in your in-box with
the subject line "Here You Have." The
body reads: "This is The Document I told
you about, you can find it Here." Or,
"This is The Free Download Sex Movies,
you can find it Here."

It pounded corporate America Thursday,
took down servers at ABC, NASA, Comcast
and Google. It was in Google's top five
searches Friday.

The Internet Storm Center, a free
analysis and warning service that tracks
malicious Internet activity reported that
the application responsible for the spam
choking the servers had been taken down,
but the Web wasn't out of danger.

"New variants may well follow," the Storm
Center warned.

Click on the link and the download will
launch a program that spams the same Trojan
Horse to everyone in your address book.

"It looks like multiple variants may be
spreading and it may take some time to work
through them all to paint a clearer picture,"
Craig Schmugar on McAfee's Threat Response page.

The "Here You Have" worm doesn't attack Norton/
Symantec products, according to Norton. Norton
recommends their Norton Internet Security 2011.
