I have used digg on and off for the last few years. During this tine, digg has in some way contributed to the traffic on asifism.com too, but my latest attempts to use it have been anything but successful.

As you may already know, digg has redone the UI and changed the way some things work, but the basic principle is the same (sharing content for those of you who are wondering). Now, first of all, going live with an extremely buggy interface on a website that’s dealing with 25 million unique visitors a month is just not wise, so I can’t for the life of me figure out why they would do that.

Then, digg has fallen victim to the same fallacy that so many other web applications do: the excessive use of AJAX. Seriously, I do not want twitter type error messages that come down from the top of the screen. I was, and I am sure others were too, perfectly okay with the application digging through a submission and always working, as opposed to saying it can’t get content from the URL.

Let’s put it this way: I’ve tried to submit 20 articles to digg over the last couple of days and on only one occasion was I able to post something. Why do people insist on using AJAX where it is not required?

People at Digg, the whole point is to improve the user experience, not to destroy it.

Those of you who are big social media fanatics and live in the world of one man entrepreneurs are probably well versed with social media and all the nonsensical talk that goes along with it. Until now, I had been quite patient, putting up with all the crap that we all get fed by social media experts who serious overrate their own value.

As business has taken off over the years and I’m no more flying solo, I’ve taken the time of to personally indulge in some of the ’so called’ marketing and contact enhancing techniques that so many businesses swear by. Now I started my business in London online - I got my first client because of social media and the millions of online marketing tools out there, and for years I have been hearing these online marketing, SEO and Social Media Consultants talk shit. Frankly, now I’m a little bored of it.

A couple of weeks ago I attended a networking event in Central London. As with many networking events across this wonderfully pathetic city (see this article for more details), you’re expected to give your 40 or 60 second pitch summarizing your business and then you’re supposed to listen to 20 more people and pretend to really care. Then we had this social media and online ‘guru’ tell us about how you can and must use online marketing to enhance your presence and gain market share. He, like the many others, talked about how he had made a living doing this and why all the others should do it. Like the billions of such experts available today, he charges you a set fee to manage your social media presence initially and TRAIN you on how to do it - then you’re on your own. At this point, I didn’t say anything. I’m not one to bash technology, but I will take a shot at any salesman 7 days a week.

A few days later,  on one of the business forums in London, another such online specialist had posted a message asking what complaint business owners primarily had with online media - why they struggled to manage their social media presence and campaigns. That’s a ridiculously pathetic question, and every person who sets up a business doing this get rich quick stuff needs to be shot dead. They’re a bunch of lying morons and should not be given a dime.

Now let me tell you why you should not talk to these experts. First rule of thumb is those who can’t do, teach. So if someone is willing to teach you for £1,000 how twitter and facebook work and how you should go by getting followers and fans, tell them to fuck themselves. You don’t need 1000 twitter followers to run a business, and if it was this effective having 5,000 facebook fans, this person would actually be doing real business with all these fans and followers rather than preaching how to gain a following. The same applies to general sales and marketing consultants too. Here’s how you get a good expert or consultant - ask him to generate a sale for you and take a big percentage. If he’s that good, he’ll accept. If he wants to take money to teach you so you can continue to get rich on your own, he’s an asshole, not an educator.

So, back to social media. Let me tell you a little secret about this industry - besides all the lying scammers that promote it, trying to market in social media is like a drop in the ocean. If you’re going to do this, you have to make it count. If you’re a small business with real work to do, don’t bother much with it. If you’ve got time, sure, but if you don’t leave it be.

I’ve recently setup a personal twitter account on http://twitter.com/cynicalhoot. Our corporate accounts only have under 100 followers each, and although we’ve got very little business from them, they’re there because as a business you’re judged by all this rubbish - because of all the scamming morons and the low IQ individuals who generally tend to fall for their scams. Think about it, twitter experts say you’ve got to make your posts count, you’ve got care about the people who follow you. Frankly, I don’t think most of these people have more than 3 friends in life they really care about, and if you delude yourself by thinking that 1,000 people actually care about what you say and they’re gullible enough to believe you actually care about them by following them on twitter, well, stop reading and go on wasting your life. Just because you have 1000 followers does not mean they all read what you tweet; they certainly don’t give a toss. It’s just a good way to get your ego boosted. A major part of the twitter following is you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. Follow me and I’ll follow you. Then you’ve got these morons who will literally spam twitter with posts. Well, guess what, those of us who have work to do don’t really want to read your shit. So fuck off and don’t tell me what your plans are for tonight!

Now, for all those twitter success stories. Out of the hundreds of millions of people who use twitter, there have only been a few successes. The truth is, it is really not worth the effort for most small businesses. Yes, it’s a channel you must  keep open as it’s just another source that could get you business, but you’ll be much better off trying to understand a target market and go after them. If you tweet prospects, how seriously do you think they’ll actually treat you? If you disagree, good for you. Just don’t preach the social media religion to me, and don’t make it out to be what it’s not in public, or I’ll call you out.

I’ll leave LinkedIn out of this discussion. It’s actually an OK tool and as long as it doesn’t turn into an eAcademy, I’ll feel safe using it. Facebook is OK for business. Again, it’s not something you should spend your life on UNLESS you sell consumer products. If you sell B2B products, social media is just another way of getting some brand recognition, like getting your logo printed on t shirts or coffee cups. The chances of that converting to cash in the near future are slim - very slim.

So, if you really want to use social media networks to get business, research your market, find the people who need what you sell, define your unique selling points and know WHY they should buy from you, and then initiate contact with them. People always buy from people because they get something worth getting. Nobody who knows anything about twitter or facebook will buy from you just because you have thousands of fans and followers. Almost everyone who’s willing to kiss ass can accumulate followers - that doesn’t mean they’re good at running their business or doing good work. Just like talk, social media is free, so there’s way too much noise in this industry.

Ignore it and confront the liars.

Over the last few days I’ve had the whole boycott facebook thing turn up everywhere I see over a dozen times. Because of this whole draw Muhammad thing, some countries even blocked access to the social networking site for a few days. I’ve seen some rather interesting discussions about why people shouldn’t boycott facebook and why the Danish or Swedish or who ever the hell started this rubbish should or should not draw facebook. Whilst I will be the first one to concede that in none of these discussions any of my pro Islamic friends was able to explain WHY people shouldn’t draw Prophet Muhammad, I found one remark from a pro drawing person to be quite interesting. He stated that “the appearance of Muhammad as they draw it is a matter of historic fact and should not be ommitted from history.” The absolute incompetence of this statement, along with the failure of those who vehemently oppose the idea to explain why the prophet should not be drawn, have resulted in this article.

Let’s get some history right. The last time European artists decided to draw religious history, they drew Christ. Somehow, whether this is sheer incompetence or the shame that would be bestowed upon the then ‘white’ europeans, Christ turned up really white with blue eyes and blond hair. To this day, the entire Christian world deludes itself with this appearance of Christ, with few of them knowing where he was actually born. In case you’re wondering: Christ was born in what is now Palestine - yes, those middle eastern terrorists. So these artists who plan on drawing Muhammad this time around certainly have no authority when it comes to drawing a religious figure. If European drawings of the 21st century were to depict history the way it truly were, then they today would be drawing and painting Christ (and I hope I’m forgiven for saying this) of the same colour, skin tone and features as terrorists that they today show on TV as suicide bombers. That’s an accurate depiction, one that would bring shame to any decent Christian.

Now that we’ve clarified the skill and drawing abilities of these artists, let’s have a chat about why Muslims in general oppose the idea of drawing Prophet Muhammad. You see, human beings in general have the tendency to idolize things. It was because of idolatory (of the pharaonic form) that Judaism was revealed. It was for the same reason that Christianity and the Islam were brought to the people. Trouble is, when Muslims try to explain this, they refer to ‘Shirk’ - and none of our non-arabic speaking reason loving friends in the west understand that term. Put simply, the reason why you shouldn’t have any illustrations of Prophet Muhammad is because people may actually start to worship him instead of God - something that many Muslims believe the Christian world is guilty of in the case of Christ. Perhaps if Christ was never painted (no matter how inaccurately), there wouldn’t be the concept of a son of God - we certainly wouldn’t know what face to associate with him. The entire premise of Islam sits on the Oneness of God and worshipping or idolizing any other human being (including Prophets Muhammad and Christ) is a sin. The fact that you create an illustration of Muhammad increases the chances of him being idolized. Therefore, it was decided (perhaps by early caliphs - and this is history I’m not really familiar with) that no physical images or portraits of the prophet would be kept. All these Muslims are asking is that you respect this and don’t promote the potential idolizaton.

The modern intellectual would argue with that - they do with everything. Argument, after all, is a sign of intelligence in the 21st century. Perhaps that’s why the world is on the verge of destruction - the intellectual deficiencies of western leaders and philosophers is only taking the west towards the dark ages again as Arab nations are picking up speed. I’ll bet that got your intellectual temper flowing - see if I care.

Consumer, taxpayer, same difference. If you live in the UK (especially London), you’re constantly getting (mind the language, please) f#cked. I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while - ever since this recession story made headlines - ever since Lehamn Brothers and Woolworths went out of business, but I’ve got my own battles to fight.

Long since my reading about Fair Tax in the United States, I have been a fan of the Fair Tax Proposal. Fair Tax essentially states that you only pay tax when you buy something. This is great for the consumer; it means you spend carefully. Suppliers are motivated to provide better products and services or you could go international and the government has reason to support businesses - the former only makes money if the latter are doing well.

Although I’m not saying that the theory of fair taxation is a flawless one - it has yet to be put to test - the democratic economic system (or whatever the hell you want to call it - it’s certainly not capitalist), followed by primarily most of Europe or the UK, is nothing short of hedonism.

Most of the so called developed world, and Europe today is the leading continent with that title along with our American friends (as eastern nations witness the dark ages), financially and emotionally violate their citizens. Now I haven’t lived in other parts of Europe, so I will stop alleging that they are categorical cheats. However, it saddens me to say that the British Government, the parliament, the bureaucracy - they all function with this one motive - screw the middle man - many of these middle men are so silly they don’t realize they’re getting screwed over in the process. I am sure you all are already familiar with this and if you aren’t, well, maybe this will explain why neither the liberals nor the conservatives of Britain stuck to their principles come election time. They are all out to get you. That is their greater purpose.

OK, so I will build the entire argument on a £3,000 per month pre-tax earning. Let’s say you earned that amount this month. Now, we’ll assume that you’re not one of those compromising residents of London who’s decided to live in shared accommodation. If that’s what you aspire for, you’re most likely happy being ravaged. Some of us have a little more ambition than that.

Out of this £3000 you will end up paying over 30% in PAYE and National Insurance. Many will actually pay more than this. The small business gets penalized grossly for hiring British employees - the government’s first step to ruin the economy and promote outsourcing to the Indias and Pakistans of the world. So, back to our simple mathematics, you are now left with £2100 (if you missed it, that’s £900 for the government). Don’t know about others, but my council tax is about 5% of what I earn pre taxation. That’s another £150 gone. Now, let’s talk about VAT. Almost everything has VAT, with an exception to some of the basics. Say you spend £600 on taxable groceries. Out of this, you’ve paid 17.5% VAT. This means you’ve paid another £105 to the government. This means that so far you’ve been robbed of £1155 (that’s £900 in payroll taxes, £150 in council tax and £105 in VAT on basic household items). Now, if you have a car, you are spending another £15 a month on road tax. If you live in London, you most likely also need a monthly ticket for the tube. Now there’s no tax on the train tickets, but you don’t exactly have a choice but to buy this. It is the price you pay for living in London - pay for a seat on the tube you will hardly ever get. It’s generally called overselling and is punishable under the law (in a fair and just system) but on the London Underground it’s called ‘moving right down into the carriage’. What a load of crap - pay £150 a month to COMPROMISE on the tube. If you live in your own flat or house on that salary, you’re probably living in zone 4+. So that’s another £135 for the train pass. It goes to TFL which is a puppet of the government, so the money essentially goes in the political basket - God knows they don’t fix the trains or the tracks. Wait, we all know that.

Let’s do a recap. How much money has the government taken from you so far, between travel, groceries, national insurance and payroll tax? £1,305 out of £3,000. That’s 43.5%. Can you believe that? Pure tax or overhead for living in the UK. You get absolutely nothing out of this money. For every £100 you earn, you literally have to give £43.50 away. Now I know we’ll have those fascists out their who will claim that the UK is the ‘leading’ European country because Germany’s taxes are in the 50% range or Scandinavia is 55%. Well, let me tell you something: who gives a shit. We’re talking about the UK and London, so let’s stick to the topic at hand.

If you can manage to do much other than paying rent and buying a movie ticket or fuel for your car from the remaining 56.5% of f the money you have left, you’re probably living in shared accommodation. But read on, you’re still getting screwed.

So the fact that you don’t have much money left to spend is just the beginning of how you, the British consumer, faces the shaft. You have credit cards, a car payment, or  mortgage, don’t you?

The government takes your money and invests with banks, pays ridiculous salaries to MPs, bureaucrats and council employees - many of which are hired to make sure you get threatened and penalized if you don’t pay these taxes. That’s what happens with your council tax pounds and that’s what has happened with the billions in rescue funding for banks.

So, what do the banks do with this money? They gamble and loan. The money the government takes from you and gives to the banks is EITHER loaned back to you for your mortgage, car, or in the form of a credit card or is loaned back to businesses (who may be your employer) for a hefty interest charge.

In the event that you are loaned the money, basically, the government has taken your money, put it through this ’system’ of taxation and loaned it back to you with interest you will pay to the bank, who will then fund the election campaign with part of that money or loan the interest back to your employer who will then again deduct tax from your salary and pay it back to the government again, creating wealth from your poverty inducing 43.5%. Exciting, isn’t it. So you are not only paying 43.5%, but when you get that 43.5% back as a loan, you again pay your credit card or loan interest, in many cases up to 20% plus, back to the bank. So, in essence, you paid 43.5% + 20% of this 43.5%. So your 43.5% is actually costing you over 52%. It’s either this or some twisted denomination thereof.

Let me make this simple and clear. The government takes literally over HALF of the money that you earn. They then piss this money way on gambling, election campaigins and sham programs that have to do with community improvement or whatever rubbish they can come up with (I wish they actually implemented any of these!). In many instances, the government will give your tax money to the bank, who will then give this cash to another international bank, which will then loan the money out, at, say 20% and give your bank 10%. Your bank is making 10%, but they don’t actually have any of this cash. Hell, they’ve even take the money you’ve put in your savings account and gambled that away -all with the consent of the government. It may very well be that your bank has taken all of your money and loaned it to your friends in the form of credit cards. Because your friends are law abiding citizens, they default on the card payments -  so not only is your bank unable to pay you the .8% interest it promised you in exchange for the 28% it was charging your friends, it doesn’t even have the original amount. So when you go back to claim the 50% of your salary that you had claim too, the bank collapses. Enter recession and turmoil. It’s also called horse shit.

Guess what happens next? 43.5% of your next pay cheque will go towards stablizing the bank. I don’t know about you, but from where I’m standing, you’re kind of, sort of screwed!

Hi folks,

As things are changing and business is evolving, I less and less time to keep updating quickplay keys. In addition, with ban increasing number of people feeding me enquiries with US deportation and immigration issues (God Bless America, no?), time is becoming of the essence. As you can also see, the about section needs some updating and I haven’t even gotten around to that. But all of this is about to change.

I have started, with the humbling assistance of some of my coworkers, to create a new design for the blog and as we launch that in the next few days, the following changes will follow:

1. Hp Quickplay downloads will be opened up. This means no keys will be required to download the software. We’ve got the bandwidth now and I will be happy to share it with all the readers and visitors of Asifism.com.

2. Posts will focus more on relevant topics: the greatness of the world, our highly competent peers, collegaues and earth dwellers and the cynical and hootful affairs of my mind.

3. Some business and political topics.

4. The occassional company bashing, also knownb as a product or service review.

5. Ultimately, Asifism.com is about the mind of Asif, so brace yourselves.

Please be a little patient: the quickplay changes will go into effect in the next few days.

Here are the latest keys for hp quickplay.

I have previously written articles on small business accounting software: http://www.asifism.com/accounting-finance/small-business-accounting-software-quickbooks-vs-sage-vs-peachtree-vs-microsoft-office-accounting-%e2%80%93-part-two/ and http://www.asifism.com/news-about-this-site-and-me/accounting-quickbooks-sage-peachtree-or-microsoft-office-accounting-part-one/.

These articles primarily discussed desktop based accounting software: they pitched quickbooks against sage and microsoft accounting. Clearly, many small business owners and accountants alike preferred microsoft accounting and quickbooks to sage (which sane person wouldn’t, right?). However, in light of the small business accounting market not being so profitable, microsoft has deserted the small business community, handing over the management and future development for microsoft accounting to partners (mamut software) in the UK. We had been using microsoft accounting to manage everything, including payroll, so it was a bit of a pain when microsoft chose to ditch the not so cash rich software over ’some’ of us dedicated customers (or partners, as we’re both).

Now, as an application development company ourselves, we have been integrating with some of the new breeds of accounting software. Since we are now based in the UK, you may see that this article is restricted in its coverage of the US market, but then, I am afraid that was bound to happen at some point. Two of the most successful SaaS (Software as a Service) generation accounting applications in the UK market today are Kashlow and Xero.

The History

I have personally used both, although the pleasure of integrating other software applications with an accounting system has been restricted to Kashflow, and I must say, that it was quite an easy task to do so. Their API is pretty comprehensive and if they don’t have a particular function, they’ll create one really quickly if you need it, unless you’re asking for something too complex. Nonetheless, Kashflow’s customer service is pretty good, with management getting involved actively across discussion boards in the UK to help answer any questions or queries. The owner of Kashflow is one Duane Jackson, a poster child for the Prince’s Trust. Long story short, Duane went from being a not so ideal citizen to building a £10 million company in 5 years or so, with a little help from the Prince’s Trust and one of the UK’s prized lords.

Xero, on the other hand, is a software that originated in New Zealand and has now grown internationally across the UK. We now use Xero as our defacto accounting system, and that is for one of several reasons. The fact that Xero is not UK based doesn’t cause any damage to the actual application; they have an API, integrate with similar products and other applications just like Kashflow and the software complies equally well with UK law. But it is in Xero’s roots that it is the 2nd most successful accounting SaaS in the UK. Their management and sales teams are not as active on UK small business forums, whereas Kashflow, I imagine, picks up quite a bit of business from them. Nonetheless, Xero is a British Telecom recommended product (BT is pathetic, so their opinion only carries political weight, nothing that actually matters) and is also recommended in partnership with some of the bookkeeping franchises across the UK.

The Techie Stuff

I run a software development company in London and our primary area of expertise is SaaS.  It is quite clear (well, at least it is to me), that Xero has been developed by far more capable developers than Kashflow has. Kashflow is build on Microsoft asp, which I am quite against. It’s older technology, although it’s just as functional. Their use of URL cloaking, etc. is limited (which is not a technical drawback) and their interface is very CSS and HTML as opposed to AJAX driven. Now I’m personally against using Jquery and AJAX for functions that are simpler to use with simple HTML. For example, ajax tabs with a submit button on them are plain wreckless because the interface does not work according to generally understood internet behaviour. However, I think Kashflow lacks the use of AJAX even where it would be appropriare. In my personal opinion, I find it a much more soothing experience to use Xero than Kashflow. Xero generally runs faster too (it did for me) and I think it is, from an overall standpoint, a much more thought our application than, perhaps, Kashflow. However, this is probably my tech bias talking and has absolutely nothing to do with the use of the software if you’re an accountant as you’re most likely used to the scum of the earth (also known as Sage) - but I don’t practice accounting anymore (and I’m about a million times happier)!

The Interface

I’ve already covered this above (although the only thing I should’ve said in the techie stuff was AJAX, .Net and ASP). I like the general layout, colours, look and feel of Xero much better than that of Kashflow. They’re both free to try out, so knock yourself out and disagree with me all you want (and see if I care!).

The functionality

This, in my experience, is the same in both Xero and Kashflow. They both have simiar irritating flaws just like Quickbooks, Microsoft Accounting, Peachtree, MYOB and Sage do. There’s no IDEAL way to match off a receivable against a payble without doing credit notes (there really should be, it’s a damn simple journal entry). However, both applications are promising in the arena. A common contacts database which can both become customers and suppliers is a good start, so a secnario where you could simply write off a receivable from the same person against their payable with a single click is fast approaching! One of my favourties with web applications is the flexibility you have of customising your invoices, receipts, etc. within the application and sending them off to customers with PayPal integrated. Both Kashflow and Xero do this beautifully (although more customisation can never hurt), but it saves us from drafting pretty looking invoices on letterheads before sending them out. We can be greener, although British customers tend to ignore email invoices!

Pricing and Cost

Well, I honestly think Kasflow wins here: fair and square. They offer a FULL service demo for 2 months, and then they charge £179 (I think so) a year. That’s not bad, considering you don’t have to worry about upgrades, etc., and everything is always backed up.

Xero, on the other hand, gives you a FREE demo for upto 5 invoices (without a time limit). That’s enough to help you get a feel of the software, after which you have to pick from what i think is a restrictive, almost non workable £12 per month option. In most instances, you’ll have to go with the £19 a month option, which makes it about 30% or so more expensive than Kashflow, but it means you can split the payment out on a monthly basis.

I think Kashflow definitely wins on a pricing model.

Integration with 3rd party applications

Really, both companies have pretty robust APIs and they integrate with virtually all the same applications. I think Kashflow is more aggressive with finding businesses in the UK to integrate with, but if you need to integrate with a custom application, I would think they are both equally good.

So, why did we choose Xero?

OK, this is it. Really, almost all accounting software is the same and other than some of the cosmetic stuff and user interface, they all accomplish the same task. Here is why we chose Xero. I’m involved in one too many businesses, much to the point where this blog has become second priority lately and it has taken me over 3 weeks to complete this article (and it is still mighty hurried). So, as with all businessmen that have growing businesses, you delegate. That’s what I wanted to do with our accounting function, and as an accountant myself (in my past life), I struggled with handing over full control to a third party accountant or bookkeeper. I wanted somebody else to do all the gruntwork, but I still wanted to login and see that things were being done the way I wanted to so the GL reflects what it should for tax and funding purposes. I’m not suggesting that Kashflow can’t do this, but with Kashflow, if I hired a third party bookkeeper, I would have to share my password with him / her. Now I’ve already got 30 passwords (as I’m sure you do) and I like to conslidate them from time to time, so I didn’t want to remember another one for our accounting system. With Kashflow, I would have to. With Xero, I didn’t.

To cut the confusion: Xero allows for multiple users with varied permissions while Kashflow has JUST ONE username/password per company account, so if you’re the owner and hire an external bookkeeper or accountant, you all need to share the same login credentials. To me, that’s what sealed the deal with Xero. I can revoke someone’s access at the touch of a button or limit them to just seeing or using a certain part of the accounting system.

There’s a whole lot more to discuss, but really, I must get down to business. Thanks for tuning in, folks.
