Today I ventured to the House side of the Hill to attend a Small Business Committee hearing entitled "Health Care Reform in a Struggling Economy: What is on the Horizon for Small Business?"
A couple of small business owners testified, including David Ratner, owner of Dave's Soda & Pet City in Agawam, Mass., who has this to say about the state of health care in America: "My customers know more about the pet products on my shelves than they do about the doctors they use."

The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media.
