Hi there fellow bloggers. The idea of this blog arose from surfing for info on Campaign management tools out there & the work I do with Chordiant. That led to Blog 1 the serious one; and then came the more me blog… the fun one. Check out my 3 blogs... when you get time. Hope you enjoy it…

Clinton & Branson

Clinton was and still is a real cool dude... did you get a chance to see his Fox News interview in which he took this pro Bush fella left right and centre. I saw it on you tube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaNIBFSMjb8.. has 3 parts - fantastic viewing... there are some comments from people criticising him, but imaging Bush being asked the same question... well actually may be even better to watch for different reasons!

What does Branson have to do with it... well he mentions in the interview about the Clinton Global Initiative where he gets commitments for global causes. Last yr he raised 2.5b$$, this year its 7.3 and counting... Of this 3b$$ comes from Richard Branson who has given away the profits from his Virgin travel companies for the next 10 yrs for research into alternative energy.

His logic is that he is still worth over $$6b, so he doesnt need more money.

Its heartening to see such attitude from those who can give to world causes...
