IGC is pleased to announce that we have begun the compilation process for both AZ Wellness Guide’s and TransitList’s Winter 2010 e-sourcebooks. Both will be available for download or in print-on-demand formats. And, of course, they are always available in searchable format at each of the respective site’s “Directory” page. TransitList is slated for an early January release and the AZ Wellness Guide will follow shorty thereafter. For more information, to list your organization... Read→
It’s been a while since we re-visited the whole “crowdsourcing” thing. What’s happening with it anyway? Wasn’t this supposed to be the next holy grail? Maybe not so much… not right now anyway. It seems like most of what the theology of crowdsourcing was intended to accomplish has been sucked up into current social media environments. Maybe that’s what its intended purpose was to begin with. Maybe it has something to do with compensation. Some folks don’t... Read→
As we have stepped into the AZ Wellness Guide project, harvested feedback, communication and ongoing improvement remain at the top of our goal list. We would like to take a moment and state that we are very grateful to hear from everyone who has and continues to send us ideas and information. Thank you. As we continue to work towards the above stated goal, alternative, integrated media (the vehicle in which information is shared) becomes a bigger component in the mix. That being the case, we...

That’s what it’ll take. Anything short of that will be sucked up into Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace. Recently, IGC has been eyeing social media development platforms to build its communities upon. Literally, this concept is the new WordPress of the Internet. Robust open source platforms with multiple tools and plugins to accomplish almost all of the site’s critical functionality… sound too good to be true? It’s not. They are already here– here in droves. Pligg,... Read→
After pondering a vast set of options, strategies and feedback, the first version of AZWellnessGuide.com is born… AZWellnessGuide.com is a simple concept… palatable ideas regarding wellness (not pharma or traditional medical paradigms) for the state of Arizona. This resource profiles five (5) companies on a bi-monthly basis. Additionally, it chronicles companies (link directory) and events (state-wide calendar) as the wellness community continues to grow. The idea includes plans... Read→
After a few months of research, we are wondering how one of the country’s leading health and wellness communities (Arizona) is without a state-wide resource to chronicle the abundant number of products, services and companies in the “wellness” business… how could this be? Our interest in this market began a while back and IGC is very interested in the cultivation, growth and success of this critical industry. While beginning due diligence, it quickly became apparent that... Read→
New federal legislation was introduced on April 1st by our good friends West Virginia Democratic Sen. John Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Sen. Olympia Snowe, a Republican from Maine. While most legislation is cloaked under the false pretence of National Security, this one has to be one of the most blatant attempts to monopolize the Internet yet. I hope, that as American Citizens, you will remember the Bill of Rights and our guiding... Read→
Being great at one thing is rare these days. All of us tend to try and be all things to as many people and companies as possible. Unless you are a venture funded startup with $39 million dollars in the bank (even these guys fail– quite often too) or you have massive resources to divide time, energy and assets, fragmenting attention away from the core part of your business leads to trouble or even failure. Components of great companies include… Deep knowledge / expertise in a niche Singleness... Read→
Many companies are looking to the future on what’s next for web marketing and online growth strategies. While most of the discussions tend to end up at the same place with buzz words such as social media, reputation economy and web 3.0, few are clear on how these ideas will manifest. One topic that seems to be more and more prevelant is “crowdsourcing“. And while this seems to be an interesting muse into content and usership, IGC is studying real world applications of this concept... Read→
IntraGlobal Communications has been very busy. We have launched 5 websites this past quarter, relaunched 2 of them (here in the new year) and are excited about new functionality that will be unveiled for all of them in the next few weeks. And if that wasn’t enough, our first e-book is about to debut too. All of our projects are accessible via the links in the right panel (IGC Websites). Other new projects for the new year include web-based events, more videos and a new series of podcasts. ... Read→
