| Orem company reduces one-fifth of workforce
Orem eCommerce software seller iMergent, whose sales suffered in part because of national and local government inquiries over its business practices, laid off one-fifth of its total workforce this week, the company disclosed Thursday. The layoffs are aimed at cutting its operating expenses by between 15 percent and 20 percent, and are expected to deliver savings of about $1 million annually, said Don Danks, iMergent's chief executive, in a statement Thursday. "The majority of the layoffs have already occurred and they were primarily in sales, general administration and support," said Jeffrey Korn, iMergent's attorney. He declined to specify the number of people laid off or the size of its current workforce. The state Division of Consumer Protection, which had threatened earlier this year to shut down iMergent if it refused to register as a business opportunity but later dropped its petition, said the company had -- before its restructuring -- claimed it had close to 400 workers at one point.

Time for socialising the real way!
My love for Myspace and Facebook lasted a couple of weeks. It was great hooking up with old friends and complete strangers, with people you had forgotten or you thought had died but were still alive. It was nice to share pictures, stories, experiences and what have you. Now that everything has been shared with everybody — well almost — it's probably time to get back to socialising the real way.
There is a view that social networking fatigue could set in soon as surfers get tired of trying to balance their real and cyber lives. Building an online identity over and over again is not always the easiest thing to do but a lot of people do get sucked into it, if only to stay at par with peers. Hey, how many networking sites are you on? All, dude. You can find me on Orkut, Facebook, Myspace, Rhyze, even Bigadda! Hell, do I care?
A lot of us do and that's the reason social networking sites have boomed in recent years, zipping into the netherworld with millions joining the bandwagon in a rush to find out more about others, start communities and eventually get bombarded by inane messages that people send just to remain part of a group.
