Media Alert: 20-Something Marketing Adds New Global Contributor
by dash on July 17th, 2007
Chief Contributor’s Note:
Today, 20-Something Marketing added another new contributor. Daksh has a fantastic, global view of marketing and his voice will add new depth and perspective to the blog. Here’s an introduction to him, in his own words.
It is a privilege to share some thoughts at this fantastic forum. Jared, thank you so much for being so kind and inviting me.
About me
My name is Daksh, and I am based out of India’s capital city New Delhi. I hold a technology mba and an undergraduate in computers engineering from Indian schools. I also have a KM certification from LTU, Sweden. Apart from 20-Something Marketing I blog here at http://themarketingblog.wordpress.com
Jared and I
My friendship with Jared dates back to the time since he had launched his podcast on iPhone ( mind you it has been quite a while since that podcast was featured. At that time probably Jared was one of the earliest podcasters to feature a show on iPhone.
Since then, thanks to our common interests in blogging, podcasting and not to forget “marketing” have lead to many discussions among the two of us. Be it the b-school scenario in US, be it podcasting or even rural marketing in India. Coming back to Jared, what I like about Jared is the manner in which he conducts his podcasts.
A background in technology coupled with an MBA degree makes me more of a techno-marketer. Probably, that is the reason why I am here to lend in some more inputs to this rocking platform for 20 somethings..
Allright, I would sign-off right now and would be back with an interesting story in my next post.

4 Tips On Haggling: A Craigslist Cautionary Tale
by Jared on July 12th, 2007
Yesterday, I had someone come by my apartment to view a desk that I had put up for sale on CraigsList. The desk was in fairly decent condition and I was selling it at a price meant to make it move quickly amongst the 120 other computer desks listed that day.
The buyer arrived at my apartment, knowing full well what I was asking for the desk, and proceeded to haggle with me over the price. She first claimed that I posted it for less than I was asking for in person. She then proceeded to list off every scratch on the desk (which there were very few of) and why they entitled her to a lower price. More
