Three-quarters of small businesses say they have not found sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn helpful for generating business leads or expanding business in the past year, according to a survey conducted for Citibank Small Business of 500 U.S. businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
Also, 86 percent said they have not used social networking sites for information or business advice. 10 percent said they have sought business advice and information on expert blogs.
The survey found 42 percent of small businesses have made greater use of their company websites to generate business leads and sales.
Nineteen percent were doing more advertising to attract new customers in the economic downturn, 38 percent said they were doing less and 41 percent were doing the same, it found.
Also, 28 percent were using more email marketing and 25 percent using more online advertising to generate business leads and sales, it found.
There is no scientific evidence that supports exposure to sunlight as a valid way to manage jaundice. It is possible that the practice persists because of the more common type of jaundice wanes in a few days -- coinciding with daily exposure to morning sun. Generally, exposure to fresh air and to early morning sun (before 7 AM) poses no extra harm. Do keep in mind that this is not a proper "cure". If you suspect symptoms of jaundice, consult with your doctor, otherwise, you may miss out or delay the recognition (and treatment) of the possibility of non-physiological jaundice.
A colleague told me that Indians practice this. Shower the baby early in the morning and put 'em under morning sun. I was shocked to hear that. So I googled it to find out if there's any truth in this or he was just pulling my leg; and I found this. It is demam kuning in Bahasa Melayu, but I didn't know it is known as jaundice in English.
