Everyone delayed setting up websites.  Some of you still do not have a serious website.  The argument was: &quot;Our organization doesn&#39;t need a website.  We are functioning fine.  We&#39;re well-positioned.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My how times have changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many still do not have a domain name.  Numerous &quot;professionals&quot; rely on yahoo, hotmail, gmail or aol &amp;amp; etc. to manage their email communications.  Such an image communicates an image that is damaging to your cause.  Bluntly - you need a domain name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 21st Century, if you do not have a website you&#39;re not really in business.  It has become vital to the success of every organization to have a website.  And with the advances in Web 2.0 technology, it is becoming equally important for every organization to build an &quot;Interactive Internet Community.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don&#39;t be left behind!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, you may think this is not important.  But, you see what happened with the Internet.  Here&#39;s what&#39;s been said about the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/56576.html&quot;&gt;Social Networking Revolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at what we&#39;ve done.
