As the economy weakens, so do job prospects. This summer is showing proof of that. The kids that are looking for summer work are finding that jobs are being scooped up by the year round work force.

Using Social Networking for Business

Friendster-like social networking sites can help small companies attract more customers and get a foot in the sales door.

Online social networking is the newest weapon to get more customers. The Internet research company Compete found that two out of every three people using the Web visited a social networking site. These websites have had a 109 percent growth since 2004 and seem to show no signs of stopping, Compete found.

“Online networking used to be seen as geeky,” says David Teten, CEO of Nitron Advisors, a New York consultancy, and author of The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online. “Now people realize it’s a more efficient way to meet someone quickly.”

Oil prices surge to new record above $122

NEW YORK - Oil futures blasted to a new record near $123 a barrel Tuesday, gaining momentum as investors bought on a forecast of much higher prices and on any news hinting at supply shortages. Retail gas prices edged lower, but appear poised to rise to new records of their own in coming weeks.

A new Goldman Sachs prediction that oil prices could rise to $150 to $200 within two years seemed to motivate much of Tuesday’s buying, although a falling dollar and increasing concerns about declining crude production in Mexico and Russia contributed, analysts say.
