During the 4th week of December the Hamilton Spectator's Dana Brown interviewed Tim Richardson about "viral marketing" and how social networks on the Internet have created a vehicle to spread the word like never before. 
.
The story was in the context of "Some online ads made by consumers to promote a brand they love. Others are less deliberate, such as the high-tech holiday lists on Youtube. Either way, the clips do what companies want most -- create a buzz around their products. And they're doing it for free."

During the 2nd week of December 2006,  Richardson was interviewed by journalist Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press office in Toronto for a story on CP's "The Cyber File". Tim was asked about how companies are dealing with fraudulent purchase returns during the holiday season and how companies are using technology to assist with cutting losses. Tim explained about the new applications of RFID chips and other technologies.
.v
During the 2nd week of December The Globe & Mail carried the CP story about stores dealing with fraudulent holiday returns in which Tim Richardson was quoted at length. see www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061214.gtcyberfile1213/BNStory/Technology/home
.vv
The Globe quoted Richardson - "More and more retailers are relying on computer databases to track returns so they can know if someone has been hitting a chain repeatedly for questionable refunds at different outlets, says e-commerce expert Tim Richardson." "Richardson says new technology known as RFID is helping more stores keep track of their products. These tiny tags store information the same way a barcode does but can be hidden inside clothing, toys or games, he says. They're most often used for high-end electronics. A stolen good brought into the store by someone with hopes of getting a “refund” would be readily identified, says Richardson, and the tags make inventory counts a breeze."

http://www.itworldcanada.com/ During the 4th week of November 2006,  Richardson was interviewed by itWorldCanada.com's Nestor Arellano for a story about online shoppers clicking through the "shopping cart" on websites, then abandoning the checkout without buying. Tim explained that sometimes this is not a bad thing -
- in fact many times online shoppers are simply looking at the detailed description of the product as described in the shopping cart, and then they go into the store and buy the product. Tim added that sometimes it is more desirable to encourage the shopper to go in to the store because then you can hit them with in-store promotions and cross-sell them or up-sell them on other products they see in-person.

During the 4th week of October,  Richardson was interviewed by journalist Peter Rakobowchuk of the Canadian Press office in Montreal for a story they were putting "on the wire" about a Quebec based online auction house, MightyBids.com, which makes claims to be able to steal away some market share from eBay.

.


During the 3rd week of October 2006, Richardson was interviewed by journalist Robert Hercz of the Financial Post (of the National Post) for a story about online advertising for Financial Post Business magazine. Hercz asked about the reasons for the current boom in online advertising, the effect the internet is having on the advertising industry, and where-will-it-all-end predictions. 
.
. Richardson explained that part of the current boom respects the fact that more women are buying online so marketers are trying to reach that demographic with new offers. Secondly, there are a variety of payment systems available compared to the limitations of credit cards and PayPal in the earlier years of Y2K, so there are more ways to buy things online. Richardson also explained that companies are developing viral marketing campaigns to counter the decline in the effectiveness of traditional mass advertising. The story will run in the December magazine of FP.

http://www.itworldcanada.com/ During the 3rd week of October 2006,  Richardson was interviewed by itWorldCanada.com's Nestor Arellano for a story about the Ontario Privacy Commissioner's championing of a universal ID which would address e-commerce security concerns.

.
During the 2nd week of November, Richardson was interviewed by Patrick Evans for an article in the Toronto Star about Splogs - spam blogs. As marketing people become aware of the power of personal web logs (blogs) for facilitating the propagation of publicity about a product or service, concurrently, stealth marketers are exploiting the popularity of blogs to produce fake blogs, or rather blogs that are full of content which is spam, instead of genuine individual opinion. Splogs can also be used to drive traffic to a site to falsely create hits on a page and drive up a site's search engine ranking in a highly competitive sector of the web.

.
During the 1st week of October, Richardson was interviewed by journalist Jeremy Ferguson for a special report in the Travel section of The Globe & Mail for a story about Business Travel Security. He explained that part of being a successful Int' Business Manager (especially after 911) is recognizing that risk and threat situations effect int'l business in many ways, and, these situations  have to be dealt with, and "managed", or your company will be compromised and subsequently uncompetitive.
.
Richardson explained that risk and threat situations effecting int'l business travel are not just human based but also a consequence of climatic conditions - which effect corporate communications, topographical challenges - which stress land travel to remote areas, and (as recently portrayed in the southern U.S. and coastal South Asia) weather extremes. 
...
During the 3rd week of September, Richardson was interviewed by journalist Aparita Bhandari for Report on Business of The Globe & Mail for a story about Online Communities and the consequences for marketing and business models. He explained that communication technology developments have made it possible for people to create and sustain personal and business relationships that cross far distances. 
nnn
While this absence of a geographical requirement has freed people to engage in more relationships unbound by distance, it has also fostered a reduction in the former close relationship held between vendor and customer. Efforts to recover this close relationship is what drives a lot of the online communities developed by consumer product vendors. However this energy for creating communities is not a new thing completely—companies have been "community"-focused long before the Internet ; what the Internet does, however, is greatly enhance the frequency of communication and through the use of enriched images, audio and video, further encourages community members to interact with a frequency and duration unmatched in previous generations. The interview was with journalist Aparita Bhandari for Report on Business.

Richardson opinioned that many people who are parents of teens, are less worried about teens viewing porn, and more worried about them being part of the content creation. 
Secondly, Richardson explained that reason for the rapid increase in the number of porn sites is due to various special techniques being employed by the site creators so they can have their content rank higher in Search Engines. Richardson added that it is a myth that much of the web content is porn and explained that the majority of porn sites do not do well as a consequence  of the intense competitive environment, and problems with payment systems." for the full quote, click here
