Forbes List of Ten Markets Transformed By The Net
Everything is easier to sell online. Everyone is easier to sell online. The Net has turned nearly every business into a global business and every customer into a global consumer writes Michael Maiello in this recent Forbes article.
Here’s the Forbes list of industries transformed:
Accounting and Taxes — IRS loves it because tax returns don’t get lost in the mail or trampled in warehouses.- Collectibles — You can find anything on Ebay.
- Fine Arts — Take your time and have it shipped.
- Media — Google, Yahoo!, MSN and Doubleclick have changed advertising forever.
- Political Donations — The Net has brought the small contributor into the fold.
- Real Estate — A home buyer can verify every broker’s claims.
- Retail — Comparison shopping no longer means trips to multiple stores.
- Software — No longer requires installation.
- Stocks — The stock market has been democratized by the Internet.
- Travel — Prospective travelers have the same information that previously, only travel agents had.
I think I would add music and banking. I can’t remember the last time I bought a CD or actually went to the bank.
