We’re staying positive in our home offices. But we’ve all got lots of online activity scheduled.<\/p>\n
Mentioned: Dave and Sharon’s how-to video on hosting a virtual party: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Vwt6hYdwUD8<\/a> and how to be a good guest at a virtual party: https:\/\/youtu.be\/GLRmHARTsic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Topic 1: Companies “doing it right” in the current environment.<\/p>\n Many companies are suddenly facing a new environment – and one most were not prepared for. How are they responding? We talk a few winners out there. For example:<\/p>\n Paypal is delaying payments on their “Working Capital” loans for ninety days. BMW – suspend the next two payments. Both of these are designed to avoid a negative hit on your credit report.<\/p>\n Messaging with the right tone: Examples include Nike “Stay together at home,” Coca Cola, and Burger King.<\/p>\n Topic 2: L.A. Wants Uber’s Big Data<\/p>\n Uber Sues the city of Los Angeles over access to their big data. And of course this leads into the discussion of data availability . . . and even into our previous conversation about the Contract for the Web.<\/p>\n Link:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/uber-sues-los-angeles-over-data-sharing-rules-11585104223<\/a><\/p>\n
