Internet Marketing and Memorial Weekend.

You may be asking how in the world are the Internet and Memorial Day linked, or related? So I will briefly explain. The internet came about because of a need by the military to exchange information between it's Defense contractor at Colleges and University's across the nation in a more timely method. So they asked DARPA, the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency to come up with something. So DARPA used the brilliant minds of Scientists in several companies to design a network by which information could be transferred securely, and efficiently. At first it was strictly military use, then it became a way of colleges to communicate to students, then students found ways to communicate with other students, and well the rest of it is history. As with all good things, people found ways to leverage this exchange of information into commercial application, and we now have electronic commerce (e-commerce) in almost every facet of our lives. As with any kind of commerce comes the need to advertise and market our goods, products, and services. So the explosion of Internet Marketers selling all forms of these goods, products and services has exploded to take advantage of the power of the internet.
So as you sit back this weekend reflecting on what Memorial Day means to most Americans, think also how the freedoms we enjoy were given to us by the soldier, sailor, airman, and military researchers who have protected and discovered great things. Have a great Memorial Day, and remember to shake the hand of a Vet, and thank him/her for their service.
