The Many Faces of Michael Oxley

Remember Michael Oxley? He's the former Republican congressman from Ohio who joined forces with ex-Sen. Paul Sarbanes to co-author the landmark Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, which sought to halt the kind of supersized corporate fraud that sank Enron and WorldCom, among many others. For an encore, Oxley has set himself another stern legislative task -- killing the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency. Now an attorney with Washington law firm Baker Hostetler, the former lawmaker inveighs against the agency in a piece yesterday in Roll Call. The CFPA, which would shield consumers from predatory lending and other sharp financial practices, will only add to the "alphabetical pile" of financial regulators, he says. And referring to the Obama Administration's plan to appoint what...

A Drop of Credibility in an Ocean of Experts

In an ideal world, saying no to one thing makes you more credible when you say yes to another. Telling a caller the truth about what your product doesn’t do makes them more likely to call back when they need what it does do. Turning down one kind of consulting job because you’re not expert [...]

Google Under Fire: Four Ways Search Giant is Vulnerable

Google stock is soaring back toward $500 -- double from a year ago -- even though it faces new resistance and competition in online media, advertising and tech. While it remains the dominant search engine with nearly 60 percent global market share, Google is confronted by growing risks elsewhere. The concern is not one giant rival , but many chipping away on all sides of Google's existing and emerging businesses.  Here's a glimpse: Google is still struggling to win over advertising-dependent publishers. There is resistance to Google's DoubleClick Ad Exchange, a real-time auction for Internet display ads promising to boost publishers' online revenues.

IBM Should Buy Zoho

Last week I mentioned how risible the idea of IBM trying to match Google Apps could be.

And when was the last time you heard anyone who wasn't employed at Big Blue even talk about Lotus Symphony? That's why IBM should buy Zoho. The possibilities are impressive. Zoho has actually figured out how to provide an extensive set of services via web-delivery and apparently has somewhere north of 1.8 million users, with 100,000 more coming in a month. Depending on who is doing the reporting, Zoho is either now or later this...
