Response to Cigarette Flavor Names
I personally think that the old school cigarettes look cooler, and are vintage, that's why we may think that they are better. I personally don't smoke, but I would be the type to collect old posters of cigarettes, just because they look cool/

Response to BlockBuster VS Netflix
http://alliemarieray.blogspot.com/
Do you think Blockbuster gave up when Netflix was invented? Do you think they could have come out with some type of new product or marketing tool to stay in competition?
I think that Blockbuster tried to stay afloat when Netflix came out, by trying to have order online DVDs. But yes, there did come a point in which they did just give up.
In this small town of Keene there were two video stores, one was Blockbuster, and the other was a locally owned store. When Blockbuster did go out of business, I was thankful that it was BB and not the other store. It just shows that we should shop locally, and it will bennefit the community around us when we do.
I think that it was fair for BB to get out of the market, and Im not sure if there was anything they could have done to stay in business.

cyber intelligence.
http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/tekknotes/2013/apr/25/cispa-it-good-or-bad-house-passed-it-week-ago-most/
CISPA is the Cyber Intelligence Sharing Protection Act that would allow the government to share internet traffic with the technology and manufacturing companies. They passed this law just in case of any cyber attacks from different countries on those companies. Its just set up there just so they can react quickly to attacks. This is a pretty good idea but the power can be abused it seems like.

Response to Marketing Strategies: new tactics
Should more older businesses today re vamp their marketing strategies and goals or should they stick to what has worked in the past?
I think that businesses should revamp their marketing strategies, because I think the tatics that they have today relay too much on social media. and people are too inflluenced by changing who they want to be, to be the people in the commercials, and I think that this is unheathy for society.

Facebook increasing profits!
http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/big-data-download/facebook-facetime-investors-175408255.html?vp=1
Facebook is working with its investors to look at their numbers
of users, to install a new asset- facetime.
Facebook has really started to work towards becoming a multipurpose
site. This article tells us that they are starting to put their focus on mobile
users. They are still working to keep a profit for their investors, with a
contuined growth rate. And continue over the next year. They have kept this
gain by increasing their mobile advertisements, and this is helping their profits
increase.

Response to Fenway Park Lowers Beer Prices for Fans
http://hbannon90.blogspot.com/
Have the high prices at big events ever kept you from purchasing beer? Would you be more apt to buy them now that the price has gone down?
I think in any public place the prices for any type of alcohol are too high. And yes, this has stopped me from purchasing any type of alcohol even from bars. Its so much cheaper to just watch the game at your own place, and buy your own beer. Even at weddings! The drinks are so expensive! and not even that great! I wish there were ways to make it cheaper for ourselves. But then it would suck for the vendors, because that's where they make the most money and business.

Big Data

Big data issues and concerns for business today because companies will need to decide where to focus, what capabilities to build, and what talent to pursue and develop. The biggest impediment to firms accessing big data analytics is that big data needs to be agile.
Big data investment is a goo thing for businesses today because Businesses can glean powerful new insights, with the most value realized by those who learn to detect signals from the noise, derive meaning from the signals, and turn meaning into action.
