We're used to the Lions beating themselves, but today, Detroit screwed themselves so badly, they won. »
Yeah, we did a post touching on Sunday's Lions-Falcons game in Wembley Stadium, but an informal poll showed that most of us didn't know it would air on the East Coast at 9:30 a.m. We thought it'd be at 1 p.m. like usual. Anyway, now you know. Double-check your fantasy team and start drinking earlier than you normally… »
To give Falcons fans an inside look on the team's journey across the pond for this weekend's game against the Lions, the team has posted an infographic detailing the travel schedule. It ... has at least a couple mistakes. »
It couldn't have felt very good, watching his Falcons get pummeled by the Vikings yesterday, but head coach Mike Smith had to feel some satisfaction from his nose-picking performance. Watch him dig all the way up in there: »
No one would've blamed you if, before watching him take a reverse to the house and then Prime Time his way to a record-setting 20th return TD last night, you had forgotten that Devin Hester was even in the league at all. It's been a few years since he's done anything notable, but his brief re-emergence last night was… »
Atlanta beat Tampa Bay 56-14 tonight in a rout one might charitably call a "slobberknocker." As befitting any time a team gets truly embarrassed on the field of play, we've taken great calls from wrestling legend Jim Ross and applied them to tonight's highlights. Take it away, J.R.! »
Many of you believe this Falcons fan's grabbing her friend's junk to celebrate a first down by Julio Jones. I'm a little hesitant, though. Watch the guy's face; he doesn't flinch. Wouldn't he at least react in the slightest way if she grabbed his dick? On the other hand, what else could she be grabbing? »
Devin Hester broke his tie with Deion Sanders atop the NFL's list of all-time return touchdown scorers with a 62-yard punt return tonight against Tampa Bay, the 20th of his career. »
Some people are fans of the Atlanta Falcons. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Atlanta Falcons. This 2014 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. »
Back in March, Falcons wide receiver Roddy White got on Twitter and made a foolish bet with a guy named Brian Hoyt on the Duke-Mercer game. White told Hoyt that he'd give him Falcons season tickets if Mercer beat Duke. Of course, Mercer went on to win. Oops. »
The Atlanta Falcons announced today that they will be featured on this year's Hard Knocks, which comes as something of a surprise. »
Major League Soccer boosters are always going on (and on) about how much the league is growing, and whether or not there's anything to the more outrageous claims about the league's popularity, they have a point in at least one sense: the league is definitely getting larger. Last week, for instance, MLS announced that… »
Last Friday, Michael Vick signed a one-year deal with the Jets. He'll be 34 by the time the season begins. The following is excerpted from Deadspin's Big Book of Black Quarterbacks. This entry is written by Kyle Wagner. »
Roddy White had Duke going all the way in this year's NCAA Tournament. Dylan Hoyt begged to differ. White tweeted something he probably regrets. »
Back in 2007, Shawntae Harris a.k.a. rapper Da Brat hit a nightclub hostess and former Falcons cheerleader in the face with a rum bottle in Atlanta. Harris went to prison for almost three years, but her debt hasn't been fully paid, according to a jury. »
Most sports mavens considered Steven Jackson's career to be all-but over entering the 2013 season. (The last time we wrote about him here was nearly four years ago.) And yet he's had a resurgence this year on a bad Falcons team, exhibited no more clearly than yesterday when he leveled the Redskins' Josh Wilson en… »
One of the NFL's London games next season will actually be an afternoon game for Brits: It'll kick off at 1:30 p.m. local time. That means it'll be 9:30 a.m. on the East Coast, 6:30 a.m. on the West Coast, and, like, Tuesday in Hawaii. »
Oh, Jason Snelling. »
WSB-TV in Atlanta has gotten a look at some of the newest renderings of the new Atlanta Falcons stadium, tentatively set to open for the 2017 season. Once again, be aware these designs will change somewhere, but the current plan is for an arena that looks like none other. »

Youssouf Mulumbu has delivered a blow to West Brom, admitting he would jump at the chance to leave.
Mulumbu arrived at the Hawthorns in 2009 and has made 155 Premier League appearances for the club.
The Congolese midfielder has a contract until the end of the season, but has indicated he is ready to leave if the right offer comes in.
He said in The Sun: "I have been at West Brom for almost five years. They are a family club, with good spirit.
"But I spoke to the coach and the director of football and they know my ambitions for the future.
"If I get the chance to join a more classy club, I will do so.
"I owe West Brom a lot. But I have now reached a level where I can go somewhere else and play in the Europa League or Champions League."

Hamilton County Commissioners are ordering the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) to suspend work until the City of Cincinnati changes a new hiring policy.
The County owns MSD but it's operated by the city.
On Wednesday, commissioners passed a resolution stopping work on all projects affected by the city's policy. The county argues the policy, which requires an apprenticeship program, unfairly excludes many non-union companies from bidding for construction jobs.
Hamilton County Commissioners want Cincinnati to change some language in the city's hiring policies for companies bidding on Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) construction projects.
The city wants all construction firms to have apprenticeship programs.
Groups like the Greater Cincinnati Building Construction Trades Council like the plan. However, some companies say it's not feasible for several reasons, including that apprentice programs for some specialized trades simply don't exist.
Cincinnati Council is making changes to a responsible bidder ordinance it enacted nearly a year ago. It's designed to make sure job training is a part of major contracts awarded by the Metropolitan Sewer District. Council Member Chris Seelbach said the purpose hasn't changed.
Cincinnati, known for its advanced water technology, is looking to cash in on the innovation and help other cities in the process.
At a Monday news conference City Manager Milton Dohoney announced the formation of a Global Water Technology Hub. He said, "This is the next step of carrying Cincinnati's legacy of being an historic water innovator and this technology will also be an accelerator for technology and innovation in the water industry."
The EPA says every year 14 billion gallons of wastewater is dumped into the Mill Creek. This is because Cincinnati's sewer system is too old to handle the stormwater runoff and it mixes with sewage in one series of pipes.

Louis Spence gags Gio in GoCompare's festive spot
Louis Spence, the 'Dancing On Ice' judge, saves the nation from listening to Gio Compario, GoCompare's operatic brand character, perform his signature song, in the price comparison site's Christmas ad.
The TV spot, created by Dare, forms part of the comparison site's 'Saving the Nation' campaign. It features Spence switching on some Christmas lights, but the power being used to control Gio Compario's movements, who is tied up in tinsel and forced to dance to a video of Spence.
It launches today and will be supported by a radio, press and digital campaign.
The media for the campaign was handled by Carat. The creative directors were Nick Bird and Lee Smith and production was by Moxie Pictures.
Previous executions feature celebrities including Stuart Pearce, Ray Mears and Sue Barker finding ways to silence Gio. This is the first time his jingle has not features in its advertising.
Kevin Hughes, chief finance and marketing officer, Gocompare, said: "This is also the only instalment that will not feature the famous "Go Compare!" song. We know that some people find the song annoying so this is our gift to the nation at Christmas."Follow @shearmans

Nearly a year into his second term, President Obama has yet to master the management of information within his administration. That failure has left him knowing too little at times about the issues that matter the most to his legacy.
Obama, who like many presidents had no executive experience before taking office, has never pretended to care much about the details of governing. He prefers the big speech to congressional arm-twisting, the big reform to incremental change and the big foreign policy ambition to cultivating head-of-state relationships.

The future of advertising27Feb13
The future of advertising is to stop trying to advertise to people, and instead start participating in the stream that people want to use. People will follow your brands if you contribute to whatever it is the people are up to.
This is a modified version of a statement Stowe Boyd made recently in a post. He was talking about the future of advertising on mobile but I feel it applies everywhere now.
In fact it nails it.
Stop advertising. Start participating and contributing.
The end.
Online reputation monitoring: The ultimate guide [infographic]20Feb13
One of the biggest fears we hear daily from organisations expanding their online presence is how do they protect their online reputation? Its a valid question.
Here are some great tips from the team at Trackur in the form of a very nice infographic. To summarise:
- Identify your reputations – monitor names brand names, company names, product names and variations.
- Quantify your audience – who has a stake in your online reputation?
- Understand your goals – how are you going to measure the whether your reputation is improving?
- Specify your needs – what tools do you require and what sources do you need to monitor?
- How will you monitor? – what processes are in place to be alerted and respond to issues?
- Who will monitor the conversations? – who are you entrusting with managing and responding to online reputation issues?
Rewards, bribes and bikes for a very worthy cause7Feb13
Want to feel good about helping some kids who really need it? Like to get some very cool rewards for doing so? Can I bribe you and help your business at the same time? Read on….
In 2010 a client of mine discovered that I was a keen cyclist and asked me if I'd join their team for the Tour de Kids, a grueling charity ride to raise funds for Starlight Children's Foundation. That year they rode from Melbourne to Sydney and I joined in the last few days with the Colliers International team from Canberra to Sydney. That just whetted my appetite.
In 2011 I signed up for the full ride; 1200km in 7 days from Adelaide to Melbourne riding with the Virgin Money team. It was tough. We had one day where we did a 20km climb through the Otway Ranges then backed it up with a 10km climb. That really hurt but it was one of the best days of my life. (Here's a video report of that day). By the time we arrived in Melbourne 40 of us had raised over $550,000 for Starlight.
In March 2013 I am getting back in the saddle again for what appears to be an even tougher ride around Tasmania. The last few days go from the rugged west coast, across Cradle Mountain and back to Hobart. The stage that says "Cradle Mountain" and "199km" looks terrifying. I can't wait!
Admittedly this is a personal challenge for me that is truly rewarding, but I will also be training extremely hard and trying to raise as much money as I can along the way to for the Starlight Children's Foundation to help kids much less fortunate than us.
That's where you, the rewards and the bribes come in.
Firstly, you can simply donate any amount you are comfortable with via my Fundraising Page. Every dollar counts and I'm truly appreciative of your support.
But here are the inducements, the bribes, the rewards I have dreamed up if you're willing to go above and beyond:
- A copy of The 4-Hour Body signed by the author Tim Ferriss himself will go to the first person to donate $130 (and nominate the reward). I used the diet and training advice in this book to get in shape for Adelaide to Melbourne and am doing so again for Tasmania.
- Donate $150 (and nominate the reward) and I will feature your chosen listing on InsiderJobs Freelance for 12 months. Value $240 Note: we are launching an Australia-wide version of InsiderJobs in February so you might want to promote the listing to a national audience.
- Donate $200 (and nominate the reward) and I'll give you 500 NLYZR credits to help you SEO your website (value over $500)
- Donate $500 (and nominate reward) and I will personally search engine optimise your website for 5 search terms using NLYZR and my in-house SEO team. (worth over $2500)
- Donate $1000 (and nominate reward) and I will do a 2 hour "Adapt or die" presentation to your team or your clients in Newcastle or Sydney (elsewhere if you cover travel expenses). I have done similar presentations to major Australian companies around this topic and it gets a great response. Feel free to contact me to learn more.
PLEASE NOTE: Deadline for all of these offers is Wednesday 13 March, 2013
Honestly, any support you can give is very welcome. The above inducements are there to help me reach my fundraising goals quickly. The more we raise the more families we can assist during very trying times.
Here is more information on the Tour de Kids.
Starlight Children's Foundation
Starlight Children's Foundation (Starlight) is proud to be the major beneficiary of Tour de Kids.
Starlight's mission it to improve the resilience and wellbeing of seriously ill children and their families by delivering programs that restore the joy and happiness that serious illness takes away.
Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The pain, loneliness and isolation that sick children feel dominates their lives, and they often miss out on normal experiences that healthy children take for granted.
Physical recovery is only part of the solution. Starlight delivers innovative programs designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it most.
Starlight's programs include Captain Starlight, Starlight Express Rooms, Starlight Fun Centres, Starlight Escapes, Wishgranting, plus Livewire and Club Ado for teenagers.
For more information on Starlight, visit www.starlight.org.au or contact Starlight on 1300 727 827.;
SEO: How search engine optimisation has changed for the better4Feb13
Search engine optimisation is a big part of my business. Its an area we can help clients improve quickly for long lasting results. Unfortunately its also a practice that is rampant with cowboys and snake oil salesmen, most of whom are still employing outdated SEO techniques that either don't work or could even punish their clients.
In the last 18 months Google has has rolled out a series of updates to its search engine that have changed search engine optimisation for the better. Google increasingly rewards genuine high quality content and punishes cynical gaming of search. I'm happy to say that all my clients have benefited.
This excellent infographic from Fuzz One explains how search engine optimsation has changed in the last few years and how you can ensure your are generating Google-friendly content. Of course, my team and I would also be happy to guide your organisation towards better web marketing results if you'd like some assistance.
Social media for customer service [Infographic]21Jan13
Social media is ubiquitous now and for many organisations it has become an essential and effective marketing tool. But social media can also be highly effective as a customer service tool, something that relatively few organisations realise or utilise.
I have found from interactions with larger organisations that if you can fix an issue that a customer is having via social media you'll find it's one of the best marketing channels you've ever worked in. Leave them hanging, and you'll find out the opposite is true.
This Infographic from ClickSoftware highlights compelling stats, for example, customers who engage with companies via social media spend 20%-40% more with those companies. So, how do you use social media when interacting with corporate brands or with your own customers?
Dollar Shave Club: a case study in retail industry interruption (and a very funny video)14Jan13
My theme this year is "adapt or die". Last week I explained 5 ways businesses must adapt in 2013 to survive and thrive. I am convinced that organisations must either commit to making significant changes to the way they do business or keep doing what they've been doing and try survive while their market share is steadily eroded by smarter, faster, more nimble competitors.
I'd now like to introduce you to one of those smarter, faster, more nimble competitors….Dollar Shave Club.
Here's a start-up that launched in mid- 2011 and then relaunched in March 2012 and is already making a big splash in the exciting world of…..men's razor blades. You know, that purchase you have to make at the grocery store once a month. Its been dominated for a century by Gillette and Schick. No other challenger comes close. Until now.
This video (which had had over 8 million views) is their main marketing tool and hilariously and effectively explains why you should stop buying blades at the grocery store and start buying from Dollar Shave Club. It's pure genius. In 90 seconds they have skewered the industry leaders, entertained us and invited us to be part of their"club".
A close look at their website is like a blueprint for online retail success:
- the aforementioned video tells you everything you need to know…and its laugh-out-loud funny.
- a prominent call-to-action "A great shave for a few bucks a month – DO IT"
- a testimonial (which is fairly tongue-in-cheek)
- a simple range of 3 packages to choose from
- a simple and fun rewards program for sharing the Dollar Shave Club story, "Free blades for life"
- a quick and easy payment gateway you'll only ever need to visit once
- Facebook sign-up option for membership
- social media sharing
The whole site contains the same irreverent, "they're just razor blades guys" style humour. Its fun, its compelling and it works a treat. I signed up within minutes and was actually excited when my blades arrived.
But the real genius is in the very simple proposition and business model.
The blades are made in South Korea and can be found under different brands in Pharmacies across the USA. They're pretty good, not much more than that.
But Dollar Shave Club turns a traditional $15-20 grocery store expense into an easy $7 / per month subscription. They don't just get the sale, they get your repeat business and a nice big database of customers.
Their product line is ridiculously small. Just 3 types of razor blades. By focusing in this way they maximise buying power and minimise overheads.
The Dollar Shave Club business model doesn't rely on advanced computer algorithms and other amazing tech innovation like many startups we follow. It's simply a business where the founder Michael Dubin looked at an industry and said he wanted to help men have fun with shopping online, because, "Women have all the fun [shopping online] with fashion, shoes, and accessories."
By making shopping for blades easy, fun and more affordable they have seen explosive growth and have attracted an impressive $10.8 million in VC funding. For razor blades??!!
An old industry suddenly interrupted by a simple but new way (subscription) of selling an existing product, executed extremely well. Hell, any of us could do that…couldn't we?
5 ways your business MUST adapt in 2013 to survive and thrive7Jan13
If you don't adapt now, you'll die.
Alarmist? I don't think so. Scary? I hope so.
2013 is the year businesses need to draw a line in the sand. Either commit to making significant changes to the way you do business or keep doing what you have been doing and try survive while your market share is steadily eroded by smarter, faster, more nimble competitors.
The pace of change over the last decade or so has been blinding. It has caught many (most) industries off-guard with some only realising what happened once it was too late. Combine that with a troubled global economy that shows no real signs of improving any time soon and you have the perfect climate for massive disruption.
In Australia we are far from immune. Many Australian industries have been extremely slow to adapt as several studies have highlighted in recent times. As the warming glow of a record mining boom subsides the cracks in our economy will begin to show and uncompetitive, old-fashioned organisations will be the first to fall through.
Don't think you will be affected? Think again. No industry is immune to the current pace of change. Your current competitors may not even be the ones to worry about. Right now dozens of startups are thinking of ways to revolutionise your industry and nibble away at your market.
Consider the these monumental changes that have taken place in the last decade or so. Then realise that its only the beginning. The magnitude of upcoming change will be even more stunning.
In 2013 you need to adapt or you'll die. You need to rethink your offerings, your market, your size, your agility and your overheads.
Here are the 5 minimum steps you must address this year (if you haven't already):
1. You MUST get a strong online presence.
Your crappy old website (if you even have one) with a list of products or services is no longer enough. You need to be found online easily by potential customers. You need to deliver the information they need as efficiently as possible. You need to offer solutions. If this isn't on your to-do list in 2013 then you might as well give up now.
2. You MUST have a mobile website.
The mobile web is massive now and growing rapidly every year. Mobile devices now account for 13 percent of worldwide Internet traffic, up from 4 percent in 2010. If your website isn't mobile friendly, at the very least, you have big problems and are already losing business. Ideally, you should have a mobile version of your site, which will have different requirements depending upon the nature of your business. The internet is going mobile, why aren't you?
3. You MUST start looking for new revenue or marketing channels online.
Do you have a niche product or service that could potentially be exported anywhere? The future of your business could be in building a national or global market for just one of your products or services via an efficient online strategy rather than sticking to your current generalist approach in your current market. The barriers to entry are so low these days that you'd be crazy not to start testing and experimenting with sideline business opportunities which could potentially grow to become the main show. I did this with my own business a few years ago when we launched NLYZR.com as an online SEO tool, attracting a new international market as well as countless new Australian business opportunities.
4. You MUST start outsourcing.
Lean and mean is the new business mantra. Asset-heavy, full-time workforces are being replaced by asset-light freelanced workforces. By only hiring talent where and when you need it your organisation doesn't just save on payroll, it saves on floorspace and all the employment "on-costs". Even if your company hasn't realised this yet the young, up and coming workforce has. Thanks to the Internet and increase in online social activity, endless new opportunities for young educated people are opening up. They realize that the traditional 9-to-5 is no longer their only career option.
Futurist Mark Pesce says, "That much connectivity in the economy creates this enormous capability for fluidity, and so jobs are going to start to become gigs and those are going to start to become tasks, and eventually we're all just going to be doing a little bit here and a little bit there and it may not be until we get up in the morning and check the smartphone that we're going to be knowing what we're going to be doing that day."
Outsourcing is more than Indian call centres for banks and telcos. There are a vast and growing number of functions you can currently outsource via sites such as Freelancer.com, oDesk, FlatPlanet and our own more locally-focussed option InsiderJobs. What functions can your company start outsourcing?
5. You MUST start cloud computing.
"The cloud" is a bit of a hackneyed and overused term these days but you can't deny the efficiencies and cost-savings available by enabling a range of cloud-based applications. The options are endless, from large scale data storage and hosting through to smaller applications. Here are just some you should be considering:
- Basecamp for project management
- Highrise or Salesforce for CRM
- Yammer for a secure, private social network for your company
- Unleashed for inventory software
- Vend for point of sale software
- Shoeboxed scans and organises your receipts, invoices and documents securely online
- GeoOp for job tracking
- Deputy for timesheets and payroll
Honestly, the cloud options are endless. Integrating a range of these into your organisation will save time and money.
In 2013 you can attract new customers, grow new markets, lower your overheads and become more efficient….or you can keep doing what you have been doing and hope for the best. This combination of moving your marketing and sales online, outsourcing as many functions as possible and integrating more efficient cloud-based solutions are the basic steps to take to survive and hopefully thrive in this rapidly evolving economy.
[UPDATED Dec 2012] Internet Trends and the re-imagination of everything6Dec12
"The magnitude of upcoming change will be stunning" – Mary Meeker
Stats guru and analyst Mary Meeker, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers, has just published her latest report filled with amazingly useful data, the "2012 Internet Trends Year-End Update."
Some highlights include:
- 2.4 billion Internet users worldwide, a number that's still growing eight percent yearly.
- There are 1.1 billion smartphone subscribers worldwide — but that's still just 17 percent of the global cellphone market.
- 29 percent of adults in the U.S. now own either a tablet or an e-reader.
- Mobile devices now account for 13 percent of worldwide Internet traffic, up from 4 percent in 2010.
- Mobile app and advertising revenue has grown at an annual rate of 129 percent since 2008, and now tops $19 billion.
- Mobile traffic app Waze has been adding users faster than all GPS makers combined have sold personal navigation units, and it's been that way since the beginning of 2012.
Meeker's spells out how these device and connectivity trends are leading to the complete re-imagination of everything from encyclopedias to money itself. And as slide 58 says…."the magnitude of upcoming change will be stunning – we are still in Spring training".
What happens when Google closes a service – is this the end of FeedBurner?6Dec12
Guest post by Rebecca Caroe, Feedblitz
Google's business model has been to acquire services which they can integrate into their ecosystem and offer free of charge to users like you and me. One of their early acquisitions was an RSS to email service provider called FeedBurner.
It's a handy tool, allowing bloggers to send out emails with the latest blog post updates automatically after they publish.
But now, Google appears to be slowly killing off FeedBurner's services. Whether FeedBurner itself will cease to exist is anyones guess, as Google has given us no official word. However the future of the service is definitely becoming a concern in the minds of its users.
Since the service was acquired by Google in 2007, it has become a bit neglected. The most recent examples of this are:
- On July 26th 2012 the FeedBurner Twitter account and blog were shut down.
- In addition to this the Japan FeedBurner.jp domain name was lost or abandoned by Google at the end of July.
- The metrics for all feeds were lost from September 19th when all feeds showed zero subscribers. And this outage lasted until September 24th.
- And now they are shutting down the API as of the 20th October 2012.
- And finally (for now) Adsense for feeds will also be shut down in December 2012.
Google has NOT said that they are shutting down FeedBurner, but the way they are slowly but surely killing off FeedBurner services has to set off alarm bells in the minds of users. Technology news website Techcrunch called it "The FeedBurner Deathwatch".
What does this means for you?
If you use FeedBurner to distribute your blog to your readers, especially if you make money from your blog, then you need to have a contingency plan ready, because if the plug is pulled, you will lose both readers and money.
There are two obvious options open to you:
- Distribute your feed natively from your hosted domain
- Migrate to an alternative service provider
Dave Weiner (the man who invented RSS) has blogged about how to distribute your feed yourself, but if you are daunted by the techy instructions, don't worry, there are alternatives.
Many prominent bloggers are already migrating their feeds and the FeedBurner discussion forums are busy with threads about how to cope with this new challenge.
If you are still using FeedBurner, don't panic because it is still working; the statistics are back online. However, it's good practice to back up your subscriber list from FeedBurner and start your RSS contingency planning now. Don't get caught short.
FeedBlitz is a premium alternative to FeedBurner. Designed for bloggers and businesses who need reliable feed distribution, it comes with more features than FeedBurner, online support and also strong commendations from top bloggers who've recently moved their feeds.

Australia's busiest ever online shopping day expected this Sunday5Dec12
Via Australia Post
Australia Post opens 24/7 superstore to keep up with record online shopping and shipping demands
Australia's leading online commerce enablers, eBay, PayPal and Australia Post are forecasting this Sunday 9 December to be the busiest online shopping day ever, with more online purchases predicted from Australian websites this December than in any other month of trade.
Approximately 2.3 million Australians are expected to visit eBay.com.au on this day alone – a 26 per cent increase over last year's Busiest Online Shopping Day (11 December 2011).
Additional statistics for the Busiest Online Shopping Day (Sunday 9 December 2012): -
- eBay expects 300,000 items to be sold on eBay.com.au on Sunday 9 December – 17% greater than last year's busiest online shopping day.
- PayPal predicts week commencing 3 December to be the busiest online shopping week Australia has ever seen.
- Australia Post expects to deliver half a million more parcels across the country in the week following the Busiest Online Shopping day. Last year, Australia Post delivered an additional three million parcels in December alone.
To help address the spike in online shopping and shipping, Australia Post is also today announcing the launch of a new flagship superstore in Sydney CBD, which will help make the process of shipping products in time for Christmas much easier. Positioned adjacent to the Queen Victoria Building at 44 Market Street, it includes a 24/7 zone with self-service terminals, vending machine and parcel lockers so customers can pick up or send their Christmas parcels any time of the day. The superstore also features an online shopping zone with Apple Macs and iPads so customers can shop for their Christmas gifts online, in-store.
Deborah Sharkey, Vice President, eBay Australia said: "Despite positive online growth figures, we recognise that the retail industry is facing real challenges. Consumers are not spending more, they are spending differently. They are sending us a clear message that they want to shop online and mobile, alongside physical stores. The challenge for the modern retailer is to be everywhere the consumer is."
"Retail has never been as simple for the consumer and more complex for the retailer. Leading service providers like eBay, PayPal and Australia Post are innovating at pace to provide elegant consumer solutions on behalf of the retail industry."
Jeff Clementz, Managing Director, PayPal Australia said: "We are witnessing an increased growth in the number of Australian retailers who have opened their virtual store doors to receptive consumers. This year, consumers will be shopping across a mix of retail channels, from their tablets to their mobiles to in-store. Wherever they are shopping, consumers are looking for flexibility, convenience and security."
Australia Post's Executive General Manager Parcels and Express Services, Richard Umbers, said: "To make it easier for Australians to shop online and collect their parcels at a time that's convenient for them we've installed new 24/7 parcel lockers in 49 locations across the country in time for Christmas. Customers can register for the free service today at www.auspost.com.au to have their online Christmas purchases delivered direct to a parcel locker location of their choice. We will be rolling out these lockers nationally over the coming year to a further 200 locations.
"More than 2,350 of our retail outlets are also open for extended Christmas hours during the week with the majority trading on Saturdays and more than 375 outlets also open on Sundays. We're also delivering parcels on weekends to ensure people receive their items in time for Christmas Day."
On Sunday 9th December 2012 on eBay.com.au:
- An average of more than 200 items sold on eBay.com.au every minute

Consider the confounding currency of the confederacy
Published: Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Artist John W. Jones was drawn to the image of slaves picking cotton on an old Confederate bank note that he enlarged about 10 years ago.
What: "Confederate Currency: The Color of Money" exhibition. The showing is a collection of paintings made by John W. Jones of Columbia. The paintings are slave images that were
printed on Confederate currency.
When: Monday through Feb. 15.
Where: Milliken Gallery
at Converse College.
Cost: no charge
Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday
Extra: A public symposium will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 17 in Daniel Recital Hall in conjunction with the art exhibition.
The program is part of the
college's celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The public is invited to attend.
He was working as a graphic artist for a blueprint company in Charleston at the time. A customer wanted the note enlarged to make the details more visible.
Before working on the note, Jones, a South Carolina native, had no idea that slave images were printed on currency. He was stunned and intrigued by his discovery and started to research slave images on Confederate currency, but there was little information available.
Jones learned that he could buy some of the old notes at flea markets and found more at auctions on eBay. He thought other people would be as intrigued by them as he was and decided to paint the images. He began using his art and talent to make more people aware of the slave images on the notes. Over the years, he has found about 130 bank notes and painted about 120 of them.
The Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture in Charleston worked with Jones to assemble 73 of his paintings into a traveling exhibition titled "Confederate Currency: The Color of Money." His exhibition opens in Spartanburg on Monday in the Milliken Gallery at Converse College. The showing will continue through Feb. 15.
Showings have been held at the African-American Museum and Library in Oakland, Calif., The Black World History Museum in St. Louis, The Rome Art and Community Center in Rome, N.Y., and the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Ala.
"Most people are as shocked and surprised as I am about seeing slave images on Confederate currency," Jones said. "I receive very little negative reaction because most people realize the slave images were used as propaganda promoting slavery."
Jones understands displaying the images is a sensitive subject. Most of the images show slaves as happy living in bondage. Jones knows that isn't true because his great-great grandmother was a slave. When he was 13, Jones remembers his grandmother showing him the whip marks on her back.
"I know images that show slaves as happy, well-treated and healthy workers are a completely false representation and are nothing more than propaganda," he said.
Jones recreates the images without enhancing them because he wants people to see the images as they were printed. Sometimes it is difficult recreating the faces because the images are so small, but he tries to make them as accurate as possible.
"I use lots of bright colors because I want to draw people into the paintings," he said. "I usually have three or four paintings going on at the same time. It doesn't take long to paint the images."
Jones has retired from working as a graphic artist and is now a full-time artist. He travels with the exhibition talking to groups about the Confederate currency. He lives in Columbia.
Suzanne Schuweiler-Daab, associate professor of art history at Converse, organized the showing at Converse. She saw one of Jones' paintings while doing research at the Avery center. She saw the work as an illustrative piece that didn't really catch her attention until she noticed the Confederate note in the corner.
"The work is intriguing on a lot of levels," she said. "I had never looked at Confederate money. It came as a shock."
Schuweiler-Daab said she hopes the artwork will allow the community to come together and start a dialog about the views people have about slavery. She said the South has a proud heritage but also has feelings of shame when it comes to slavery.
"We don't really like to talk openly about these issues, but having this exhibition can evoke it," she said. "It's also interesting to talk about the power of these images and how they have helped to create the cultural stereotypes that we have today."
Michael Harris, associate professor of art history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is an artist and an art historian of African-American art. He will participate in a public symposium about the art collection on Jan. 17 at Converse.
Harris understands Jones' interest in making people aware of the slave images on Confederate currency, but has some concerns about the images.
"The images can be seen as images of victimization," Harris said. "I have nothing against the artist, but I question the effectiveness of the work."
Harris also said the pictures are images of what white people thought of slaves to promote slavery. He believes black artists should focus more on producing images of black people as they see them and not how others see them.
"I would love to have black artists preoccupied with themselves," Harris said. "What about a truly radical idea and show a painting of an African-American president or an element of African-American life that shows some of the nuances of African-American life?"
