China:
Alibaba Buys Koubei Stake
China's leading B2B platform hopes community classified site enhances e-commerce offerings.
Alibaba.com, China's largest e-commerce company, said Monday it had made a strategic investment in Koubei.com, a classified listings and community web site based, like Alibaba, in the East China city of Hangzhou. Rumors circulated in the Chinese media last week that the two companies were close to a deal, and that Alibaba.com had agreed to acquire Koubei.com for a reported $6 million. Alibaba spokesperson Porter Erisman would not confirm or deny the rumor when contacted Friday. The company has not announced either the size of the stake it has taken in Koubei.com, or the sum of the investment. (Red  Herring)


Global:
Who's In Control?
Remember back in the boom years when Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy famously said, "You have no privacy -- get over it."? Today, the same can be said of control, particularly if you're a marketer or a content provider. No, marketers don't have "no" control, any more than consumers have "no" privacy. But the degree to which you control your brand, advertising, messaging, Web site, even your offline media is rapidly eroding.  You're going to have to learn to deal with it. (ClickZ)

India:
Size of global outsourcing market shrinking
The size of global outsourcing market has shrunk for the first time ever in Q3 of 2006 in what is considered the worst quarter for outsourcing deals since 2002, a leading advisory firm said in its report. "The third quarter of 2006 saw a decline in contracts by volume and value for the same quarter last year," the firm TPI said in its TPI Index Report whose findings were released to reporters here.

UK:
Online recruitment goes from strength to strength...

Over the next 5 years (to 2011), the e-recruitment market will grow significantly both in scale and importance. Indeed, some are predicting that recruitment will be close to travel – the most successful sector in terms of the online business model. A new Market Assessment report, E-Recruitment, from market intelligence providers Key Note, forecasts that by 2011 nearly 2.1 million jobs will be on offer via online recruitment websites, with a monthly average of 32.5 million unique visitors to these sites. With around two-thirds of employers using some form of e-recruitment, the online medium for recruiting personnel is certainly moving from strength to strength. This is also reflected in the amount spent on e-recruitment display advertising, which has risen strongly in recent years. In 2006, Key Note estimates that this type of advertising will be worth £560m, compared with £315m in the previous year. (OnRec)

Jimfinder: Engineering recruitment solutions

Google would be wise to avoid making enemies
Google is poised to become the dominant force in British advertising. In 2008, if ITV cannot sort itself out, the internet search engine could be the biggest recipient of advertising pounds in the country. Google is on track to make more than £800 million this year — last year the figure was £460 million, implying a near-doubling of turnover — which tells you all you need to know about why tabloid and regional newspapers are short of a bob or two.  Having taken the money, Google's cultural contribution is virtually nil. You can find about 10.4 million results for, say, Pamela Anderson in 0.06sec, which saves time in a busy day for an extra sip of latte. It is not quite that trivial, but Google is essentially a useful research tool, and Google Earth does give you nice views of the planet. (Times)

US:
First executive search stick rate revealed

Christian & Timbers has become the first executive search firm to release an audited candidate ‘stick rate' - the percent of candidates placed at a client company and still employed by the company in the same, similar or elevated position. The executive search firm achieved a stick rate of 94% for the period of January 2005 to June 30, 2006. In addition, the firm announced an audited `average number of days to placement` of executives placed in 2005 at 146 days. A placement occurs when the client has chosen a candidate who is placed in the role, whether from an outside hire or an internal promotion. However, 80% of the firm's placements took an average of 104 days. (Recruiter Magazine)

U.S. Economy: Jobless Rate Declines to Five-Year Low of 4.4%
The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to a five-year low of 4.4 percent in October and growth in service industries accelerated, countering speculation the economy is headed for recession.  Employers added 92,000 workers last month, the Labor Department said today in Washington. That followed gains of 148,000 in September and 230,000 in August that were higher than initially estimated. The Institute for Supply Management's index of non-manufacturing businesses, which account for 90 percent of the economy, rose more than economists forecast to 57.1 in October. (Bloomberg)

Uninsured Americans "outsourcing" medical care
Asian hospitals in Thailand, India and Singapore have long attracted American medical tourists seeking cosmetic surgery. Last year some 500,000 of the 45 million uninsured Americans who traveled overseas were seeking high-quality heart, knee and back surgery, according to the National Coalition on Health Care. "It's just one of the many ways in which our world is flattening," said Arnold Milstein, chief physician at New York-based Mercer Health & Benefits. Milstein is researching the feasibility of outsourcing medical care for three Fortune 500 corporations. "Many companies see it as a natural extension of the competition they've faced in other aspects of their business," he added. Some American hospitals already import foreign doctors and nurses. They also use countries such as India for X-ray readings and other diagnostics. But the U.S. health care industry has been largely immune to overseas competition -- just one reason behind soaring costs. (www.chinaview.cn)

Deep Release:
Age Demographics Make a Difference in Blogging
RarePlay.com recently released findings linking age demographics with web board and blog usage. RarePlay identifies that roughly 73% of bloggers are under the age* of 30, with the median age for bloggers hovering around 25.2.

RarePlay (www.rareplay.com), a next generation technology company, recently released findings linking age demographics with web board and blog usage.

From a marketing or advertising perspective the fact that these findings identify a majority of bloggers and web board users to be under 30 years of age exposes a great opportunity to reach and communicate with such a desirable and influential demographic. Generally speaking, they have a large disposable income and trendsetting capability – a marketers dream.
The findings analyze data drawn from inSitesEngine, Rareplay's proprietary platform for extracting web intelligence, and compare both bloggers and web board users across all age categories. inSitesEngine reviewed apx. 1.2 million blogs and 2.5 million web boards taking statistical data for these findings.

RarePlay identifies that roughly 73% of bloggers are under the age* of 30. Additionally, a distinct age disparity between bloggers and web board users is identified; with the median age for bloggers hovering around 25.2 while the median age for web board users is five years older at 30.2.

"As a technology company we are constantly looking for ways to not only create new technologies but utilize current ones to gain valuable insight – inSitesEngine allows us to do just that," Ron Knowlton, RarePlay CTO, said. "We employ the very medium that bloggers and web board users use to learn precious business insight on them. Our findings here are interesting because they specifically identify key age demographics as the main users of blogs and web boards."

Bob Rattivarakorn, RarePlay Marketing Director, said, "From a marketing or advertising perspective the fact that these findings identify a majority of bloggers and web board users to be under 30 years of age exposes a great opportunity to reach and communicate with such a desirable and influential demographic. Generally speaking, they have a large disposable income and trendsetting capability – a marketers dream."
