Macworld Expo should change venues, dates in the future
It's probably a good thing that Macworld Expo 2010 is moving from January to February. With Apple not attending, however, it won't be the same show as before. And I think IDG, the folks behind the event, should consider more changes in the future, including a change of venue.
One good thing about the date change of the Macworld Expo is that it will no longer bump heads with the Consumer Electronics Show. And including a Saturday in the schedule is a wise move, as it will allow San Francisco residents and workers to attend without playing hookie from work or school.
It should hopefully make the event a bit more affordable. The middle of February is generally an off-season, so travel and hotel rates should be a little less expensive.
But I think IDG should consider taking the show on the road, having it in different cities each year. Macworld San Diego, Macworld Chicago, Macworld Dallas, etc. Spread the love.
In fact, let's move the date to summer. As one vendor (who wanted to remain anonymous) told me: "I think they should forget about San Francisco as a venue. Since the date is going to change, why not pick somewhere with better weather, nicer facilities at a more reasonable price and with easier access? If it needs to be in Las Vegas in February or Chicago in May, why couldn't they do that? There are certainly people who have never attended who would like to."
Let’s hope that the Macworld Expo lives on

Exporting CSV Files to Excel
- If I am able to transfer a CSV file with dates in it, how do I use the date data to calculate the number of days between two dates?
I understand the XL 'DATE' function, but when I import the dates in the CSV file, some seem to be on the left of the column and some on the right and don't translate.
Is there a trick with CSV date translating?
Any ideas?
Re: Starbucks: Licensing vs Joint-Venture
- Its "growing pains" on a successful franchise level. If you think about it, could anyone have actually ever predicted Starbuck's most recent outcome? They are now struggling to do something they did so well all along, simply change, or at least alter what direction they were headed.
No matter what your idea of where your business should be is, for the future, outside determining factors will most certainly change - its your ability to change and follow the natural business course (if there is one) that then becomes significant. Simply, have a good idea of what it is you want to be in business, but don't force out change along the way. Adapt to it, or at least try and learn to adapt to the change.

- Hi Kevin - I think it's because you left the shadow in the original folder. That's how it was recorded in the database so I don't think there is a way to change it but future ones in the new folder should not have a problem.
Selling out the venue without upsetting the fans
- How can a promoter sell the most number of tickets for a venue without hurting the customers? i.e. prevent scalpers from buying up all the tickets and re-selling them at higher prices.
Most venues will limit sales to 8 tickets per customer, which is still too many in my mind.
Re: Social Media Works If You Do It Right...
- Hi,
That's what I was going to ask, I have checked it out and it gives a graph of tweets at different times and dates and seems to give you one person each visit to tweet to but not sure how this works with linking to that keyword.
