...Buckmaster explains. As a result, the site runs 1 billion page views a month--as many as Amazon.com--with just 14 employees. Instead of doing market research to plot strategy, Newmark and Buckmaster rely on customer feedback, using it to drive every decision from what city in which to launch next to how to categorize short-term gigs separately from part-time jobs.

Labor, meanwhile, has the trickier task of satisfying traditional voter bases in seats like Braddon and also wooing mainlanders like MacLulich. But the momentum is there: some of the strongest applause from the party faithful at the Sept. 29 Labor campaign launch came for Latham's promise to detail a policy before the election. Party strategists know that at this poll Tasmanian forests matter, not only because of the dogged campaign by conservationists that has won mass public support, but because a strong showing is predicted for the Greens, who have...

...political action group recently replenished its coffers with contributions totaling $3 million dollars, enabling it to launch a new television and mail campaign to attack Kerry’s war record yet again. One ad features the wives of two former POWs giving compelling accounts of the horrors endured by their husbands, followed by insinuations that Kerry bailed out of Vietnam when things got tough. According to the commercials, Kerry also “secretly met with enemy leaders,” “betrayed his fellow veterans” and “accused all Vietnam veterans...
