Proliferation can mean "an idea whose time has come." I came across two interesting trade resources today and was reminded of a third. Check out GlobalGoodsTV for online video featuring international trade news and analysis AND product videos. This is brand new and could be a great way to get online video exposure for importers and exporters. Then my friend, Huyen Bui of DI-Central, sent me a link to a super intermediary, B2X, which specializes in acting as importer of record for importers that want to bring in products from China, virtually risk free. I'm anxious to find out how their platform actually performs as they progress. And that lead me to the international trade expert, journalist and publisher, Michael White, and his podcast, the International Business Report. Michael is a trailblazer and innovator in using media to expand the cause of international trade, to educate and to inform. I can almost imagine no borders as I surf betwixt and between these sites.
