"Praise the Lord and pass the hand grenades", Symbiotic Networks Inc. (SNI) is proud to announce that BCN is now the top website originating from Beaufort County. After last month's enormous jump in traffic, from the last month before we finished our last iteration of the news and information site, we have now had our first full month of traffic, as recorded by our embedded traffic tracking device. That full month of January is shown below.

If your group, that you are affiliated with, is not filling seats or having successful events, one might should question why your websites aren't any better, more responsive than what they are, as well as why your executive officer is not taking advantage of the free service of press releases on Beaufort County's top website - BCN.
It is quantifiable that BCN is the No. 1 website originating in Beaufort County - on every level, at every metric - we are at the apex, and we really don't have any competition at this point, and, remarkably, we have 'escape velocity' here ... yet ... there is a truth that few nonprofits will deal with SNI, even though our website functionality, of those we construct for ourselves, and others, may well be the best in northeastern North Carolina, and yet, few nonprofits will even talk us after being contacted. Is there any wonder that sometimes things just don't work out around here in Beaufort County - a theater whose seats are barely filled, a handful of people attending a public event, much of that constant failure paid for with public money! The truth of the matter is this: Should, and when, BCN and SNI need to reach out, beyond Beaufort County, to other regional counties, to their vendors, both public and private, to offer them the superior products to promote their products, we can and we will; however, does that enrich Beaufort County, excepting me and my employees getting raises? It does not. Yet ... Beaufort County's events, theaters, art galleries, even small 'shop local' stores, homes for sale and property are stationary, immovable, fixed. You are stuck here pleading for public money, or the kindness of those that can be duped into 'shopping local', while you do not, and still, you do not reaching out beyond your small circle of friends. One thing that I have learned over the years: If I work hard enough, smart enough and long enough, I can find smart people to deal with, where ever they may reside. They will have the wisdom to procure the superior products, they will better compete, and rather than Beaufort County vendors, and public/nonprofits drawing customer from others areas, you may find Beaufort County residents being drawn away to those other area to spend their hard earned dollars outside of the county. I, for one, won't fault them. And then: What happens when the public money runs out, because your public/nonprofit group is so poorly managed? Think about it. What then? |

The last time Stan and I visited he showed me another new technology which will make BCN easy to read and access via portable media devices. We are sleeping / Stan is dreaming and thinking . . . Pray for his wife to be patient with him. . .
