Information is a Commodity

In the Internet age, information has become a commodity.  It’s available everywhere for no cost.  The New York Times, which was always available for FREE on-line, used to restrict some of its content, such as the Op-Ed features.  Now, that’s for free as well as long as you are willing to cut through a little advertising clutter.  You received The Wiglaf Journal for FREE and many thousands of you subscribe to the Journal and take advantage of our content on www.wiglafjournal.com

As a writer, teacher and marketing consultant, having information at my fingertips is my stock in trade.   Every day I am sent several articles on Internet marketing, e-mail, search engine optimization through the FREE clickz.com site.

Here are three more of my favorite sites:

The article for this journal citing the insights of Harvard Professor John Quelch came from the FREE Harvard Business School “Working Knowledge” site workingknowledge@hbs.edu.  This site often gives detailed summaries of longer articles from the Harvard Business Review.

Stanford Graduate School of Business offers its Stanfordknowledgebase FREE at stanfordknowledgebase@gsb.stanford.edu.

Finally, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania publishes the FREE Knowledge at Wharton electronic newsletter knowledge@wharton.upenn.edu.
