Bitcoins?</i></b><br />
<br />
With international currencies in such a volatile state, digital
currencies have emerged as a new way to safeguard money and shop online.
Still in the early stages of adoption, most consumers have not yet heard of
Bitcoins. Yet investor speculation has caused the value of these currencies
to skyrocket in recent months, leading many to wonder if this is a bubble
waiting to burst. <br />

<em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="color: #333333;
font-family: arial, serif; line-height: 18px;">“It’s a very,
very high level experiment,” says Ari Zoldan, CEO of technology and
media company Quantum Networks in New York. For people purchasing goods and
services online, however, he says it could potentially change the entire
currency landscape and “be to regular currency what Skype was to the
telephone industry.” Instead of trusting large institutions or
central banks or governments to safe keep your money, Zoldan says,
“it shifts that responsibility to
individuals.”</span></span></em></div>

<strong>Acting Rude Online May Cost You Friends</strong><br />
<br />
I was also quoted today in Fox Business on social media etiquette
and the real-world consequences of our behavior online.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: 12px;">For the party being
“un-friended,” the move may come as a shock, says Ari Zoldan,
CEO of consulting firm Quantum Media Holdings.</span></em>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline:
0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em>“It’s virtually slapping someone in the
face,” Zoldan says. “But of course, anything you do online has
a 100% repercussion rate as to what happens in the physical world,
face-to-face. If you unfriend or unsubscribe, it’s a personal blow to
them.”</em></p>

<strong>Implications of The Growth of the Middle Class in Emerging
Economies</strong><br />
<br />
Earlier this week I appeared on Saudi TV analyzing the
implications of a recent UN Report that found a dramatic increase in the
number of developing nations that have transitioned into the role of
emerging economies. <br />
