Dien,

Thanks for bringing up Donald Trump and Deal making...

There have been some recent TV interviews and reads on Ivanka Trump that are also quite interesting...

With more than one reason to Keep an Eye on her...

When Ivanka's books on Deal making come out I'm sure they'll make for some very interesting reading...

Donald's daughter masters his art of self-promotion...

Have you Noticed that Many Forums are getting extremely Quiet these days?

Trends are showing that Forum's need to consider Converting into their own Social Networking sites... But with the whole Social Networking thing... How many will actually survive?
