LEADING INTERNET SERVICES are making a lot of money from investors. is it just making advertisers happy? more importantly are these services selling a lot of advertising to make investors happy. the viscious circle goes on and if not for the need to pay salaries then revenue could revert entirely to the stock holders. that’s the begining of the “valleylist” take on silicon valley and the stock market.

while lots of people claim that google is the internet messiah “valleylist” remains unconvinced. yet it’s an unbelievable reality for their investors. as much as you like the stock price to climb like the googler it’s the latest downturn that really hit these great companies hard. those who like money should be reassured that the “valleylist” real analysis is a few months ahead of us. this week it’s time for a new approach. the new synergy comes from problem solving and money. 

 

 

 

MAYOR OF THE WEEK most likely menlo park or daly city. follow the money to menlo park this week with Mayor Heyward Robinson. the high tech tradition includes Stanford Research Institute and dramatic developments surrounding over a decade of successful startup investing from companies like kleiner perkins caulfield and byersmenlo park is home to traditional publishing companies like Sunset Magazine and books and the usgs [u.s. geological survey] as well right next to the place where stanford grads Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard invested their $538.00 in the mythical ‘garage’ to launch the high tech revolution. or was that palo alto.

 

that’s around the cost of lunch at the silicon valley chamber of commerce for speaker and ebay founder meg whitman this week.

 

other important menlo park high tech employers include boise cascade informix sun microsystems and tyco/raychem electronics. population around 31,000. the very aggressive will try to drive by the sand hill road area only to find out sand hillers talk money and new business at any nearby palo alto coffee shop or restaurant.

 

menlo park is among the many silicon valley cities fighting with caltrain and the inside scoop from santa clara county supervisor ken yeager Supervisor.Yeager@bos.sccgov.org says go with the high speed rail solution and make as much money out of the deal as possible.

NEW FEATURE EVERY WEEK would like to set aside the u.s.a.’s largest newspapers u.s.a. today - – circulation: 2,281,831 – - and the wall street journal - – circulation: 2,070,498 – - for later consieration. they are both specialized in their own way. number 1 ranked u.s.a. today is a self-described national newspaper. the wall street journal is a real financial newspaper [really a dow jones company and a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's news corporation]. the interest this week is in the new york post – - circulation: 565,679 – - because new york city has gotten it together unlike west coast newspapers.

famous for weirdo news gossip sports entertainment and photos the new york post is off down the hill from the new york times. however it claims it’s the 6th most widely read newspaper in the u.s.a. 

 

real new yorkers do not read the new york postthey deny everything. it’s really a san jose magazine style daily with the famous people looking really bad all the time. people can’t wait to force the new york post out of business for good because they have a difficult time with the trashy journalism. 

 

conclusion is that leading internet services are the real leaders these days. publishers like the new york post need to supplement old revenue sources with new ways of making money. the post has a very large advertising base and lots of highly successful clients. unfortunately their online version is a knock off of the print version so it’s not really as successful as it should be.

 

not far off print publishers will find that their proprietary content needs to be repackaged. the new york post marketed differently on the web is the strategy needed to successfully diversify their print revenue sources.
