Because of that, more and more business have begun to realize that the popularity of social media sites opens up a new realm of possibility for promotion. The clincher is this: To be successful with Twitter marketing, you’ll have to find a way to get lots of Twitter followers. That’s the biggest problem people have when they try to promote a business on Twitter.
One company turned this problem into an opportunity of their own. USocial.net has developed a series of products designed to help businesses make money online. One product is specifically aimed at helping businesses make money by buying Twitter followers. No longer do marketers have to resign themselves so the fact that they are going to be stuck having rough it in the trenches, trying to find Twitter followers on their own. USocial.net has changed all of that.
USocial.net’s CEO, Leon Hill, has this to say about the company’s mandate:
“For some time we’ve know the power of Twitter, though it wasn’t until around a month ago that we ourselves decided to get onboard. Within around three weeks we were up to around 20,000 followers on our company accounts so we knew we had cracked the secret to huge numbers and fast.”
That realization compelled uSocial to develop their Twitter services. Less than two weeks after the launch, the company had served nearly one hundred clients.
Twitter followers are available in packages of between 1,000 to 10,000 and the service is fourth in the line of products the company has developed around the social marketing niche. The Twitter marketing service follows in the footsteps of the company’s enormously successful paid social bookmarking services (which, incidentally) earned them a little bit of online infamy, when they garnered a Cease & Desist order from Digg.com to stop trading!)
Twitter is here to stay, it seems, and it’s a great way to promote your business. What are you waiting for? Get on board!

Novell, Inc. Investor Alert: Offer under investigation
An investigation on behalf of current long term shareholders in Novell, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:NOVL) concerning shareholder claims over potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with an alleged unfair takeover was announced.
If you are a currently a long term investor in shares of Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL)
and / or if you have additional information relating the investigation, you have certain options and you should contact the Shareholders Foundation at:
mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or at: +1 (858) 779 – 1554
The investigations by law firms focus on potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law arising out of the offer to sell Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL) to Elliott Associates, L.P. Novell, Inc., located in Waltham, MA, develops, sells and installs enterprise software that is positioned in the operating systems and infrastructure software layers of the information technology industry. On March 02, 2010 Novell, Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVL) confirmed that it has received an unsolicited, conditional proposal from Elliott Associates, L.P. to acquire Novell, Inc for $5.75 per share in cash, which implies an enterprise value net of cash of $1.0 billion. According to Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P the price represents a premium of 49% over Novell’s current enterprise value and 77% over its 90-day volume-weighted average enterprise value; the price represents a premium of 115% over Novell’s value on January 4, 2010, the last trading day before to Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P commenced actively acquiring Novell's common stock; and the price also represents a 37% premium to Novell's closing stock price on January 4, 2010 and a 20% premium to Novell's closing stock price yesterday.
But according to one investigation by a law firm “the transaction appears to be unfair” to current investors of Novell, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:NOVL) because the offer is “grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of NOVL shares”.
Shares of Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL) traded in after hours at $5.99 per share, thus above the proposed offer. NOVL shares traded at almost $5 per share as early as in Feb 2010, at $6.43 in August 08, at $7.08 in May 2008, at $7.45 in Feb. 2008, and at almost $10 per share in 2006.
The investigation “concerns, among other things, further whether Elliott Associates, L.P. may be underpaying for Novell, Inc. (NOVL), thus unlawfully harming NOVL shareholders”.

ISCO Files for Cornea Transplantation Patents
International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO.OB), announced that it has discovered and filed for patents on a cell culture process for the synthesis of fully human, cornea-like structures using either its proprietary human parthenogenic stem cell (hpSC) technology or human embryonic stem cells.
ISCO’s parthenogenic stem cell technology enables synthesis of corneal tissue that is immune matched for millions of people. This may significantly reduce the rejection rates of 15-30% experienced in current medical practice.
Brian Lundstrom, ISCO’s President, says, “Given the substantial unmet medical need for human corneas in Asia and Europe, ISCO has commenced a targeted effort to partner with clinical development and commercialization partners in these regions. We believe clinical development in this area is particularly attractive given the rapid and easily measurable outcomes of vision restoration, the availability of large patient pools and modest competition from alternative technologies, particularly such involving live corneas.”
Cornea-related loss or reduction of vision can be caused by physical injuries, infections and a range of degenerative diseases that affect up to 10 million people worldwide. ISCO’s corneal structure may fit into existing medical applications where the surgical techniques are well established. Cornea transplantation has been greatly refined and is now typically performed as a one-to-two hour outpatient procedure using donated corneas from human cadavers. While most operations previously involved the entire corneal structure, it is now common to selectively replace solely the damaged portion.
In the US 52,487 transplantations were performed in 2008. Although the supply of corneas in the US is adequate at this time, a shortage of corneal tissue has been a significant problem in much of the rest of the world. Only 3,000-4,000 procedures were performed annually in the UK and Germany due to limited cornea supply. In Asia, the shortage of corneas has been an even greater problem. For example, in Japan during a ten-year period only 16,000 transplantations were performed. China has had over 2 million patients on waiting lists yet only a few thousand procedures have been performed annually. Over 3 million Indians are reported to be blind due to corneal defects.
Dr. Radhika Tandon, Professor of Ophthalmology and Officer-in-charge at the National Eye Bank, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi says: “Corneal vision impairment is a large medical problem in India and other developing countries. India has access to less than 20,000 suitable corneas per year yet would need 200,000 corneas to take care of the existing backlog and the new cases added each year. Supply of synthetic human corneas would alleviate the problem and provide great socio-economic benefit by enabling millions of Indians to get back to work and live a more normal life.”
While a number of companies are exploring synthetic approaches of combining layers of epithelial cells with layers of stroma-like materials such as collagen, ISCO is the only company known currently that actually produces live human cornea tissue, without the risk of infectious diseases and with an opportunity for immune matching.
The cornea-like structures are grown to clear hollow spheres with a size of 8-10 mm in diameter and contain tissues and cells similar to those found in normal human corneal tissue. Portions or all of these structures may be suitable for cornea transplantation in humans. Permeability and ocular histology testing has demonstrated compatibility with natural corneas. Future steps include scale-up of the manufacturing process and IND-enabling studies, to be conducted domestically and through international collaborations.

U.S. Government’s Global Tourism Tax Blitzkrieg: TPA
Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York – The recently passed Travel Promotion Act (TPA) is nothing more than an expansion of the federal bureaucracy and a government desperate for revenue streams placing an industry and job killing tax on the U.S. Tourism industry.
Currently U.S. individual states, counties and local governments in cooperation with private businesses promote U.S. destinations globally. In 1994, the entity within the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for tourism promotions overseas was dissolved and the U.S. saw increases in tourism debunking the myth that the U.S. requires a centralized federal government tourism bureaucracy to compete globally for tourism receipts.
It is the role of the U.S. State Department and our embassies to engage their respective populations through public diplomacy campaigns which by definition includes tourism promotions.
“The irony is that national governments globally are decentralizing their tourism promotion operations placing greater responsibility and control at the local level,” said Gregory Kelly, CEO, K2 Global Communications LLC http://www.k2globalcomm.com/greg_kelly.html. “Does anyone really believe that Washington can promote and market New York City better than the current public-private partnership?”
The weak dollar is what made the U.S. an attractive destination for visitors; however, the tightened entry requirements in the name of national security encouraged many to vacation elsewhere.
The recently passed Travel Promotion Act (TPA) will do little more than turn away more travelers (revenue) with the ten-dollar tax going to the federal government rather than the local businesses and communities who are the major beneficiaries of tourism.
K2 Global Communications is a morally and socially responsible based full service public relations firm whose practice is built upon our excellent reputation for mutual regard, shared visions for a better tomorrow as well as common interests and values according to our core belief system that includes the Dignity of Life.
Our firm is comprised of a network of highly proficient professionals specializing in: Public Diplomacy, Tourism, Culture and Culinary Arts promotions.

K2 Global Communications LLC CEO Gregory Kelly’s experience includes public relations, international relations, public/government affairs, corporate communications, and relationship building from the local-to-international level.
He has worked as a U.S. Congress Assistant. He is also the former Manager of Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising for the Korea National Tourism Organization where his duties included speech writing for senior Korean government officials and establishing and maintaining working relationships with various foreign and domestic companies, government agencies and media outlets.
Mr. Kelly graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from State University of New York at Potsdam where he majored in political science and minored in communications.
