PanNotes

Following the launch of our blog just over a week ago we launched NFL Times Ja. this week. The blog was requested by Panmedia’s own Peter Lindo who is an avid fan of the game.

The long overdue electronic transactions bill that passed last week has sparked new interest in the online opportunities available to local businesses. Though short on solutions for the real problems hindering e-commerce in Jamaica, the bill at least gives legal recognition to electronic commerce here and raises awareness with the general public.

This legislation has been “coming soon” since as far back as 2001. According to this overview, the majority of the act deals with providing legal recognition for the electronic equivalents of many of the paper based processes that we deal with today (e.g. ). It goes into great detail about personal electronic signatures and transmitting documents electronically.

Blogging has been called many things. Some say its amateur journalism, others see it as amateur publishing. Everyone agrees, however, it is empowering.

A Blog gives a voice to its writer, and its presence gives those writers an audience when it’s well done and has something to say that’s truly original, informative, insightful or witty.

At Panmedia, we read Blogs often, and even build them. So we thought it might be time to do our own. As a web bureau that built Jamaica’s first portal (Jamaica Today) and as marketing and advertising specialists, we believe we have something to say about those subjects and hope you find our expression useful.
