You’ve all seen my profile picture.

Therefore, it’s a fair assessment to say, that I already know what you’re thinking.

Even without a vodka martini in hand, or me brandishing a Walther PPK you are probably thinking…

That man looks exactly like James Bond!

It’s okay…

It’s the English thing.

You may even think it’s hilarious, the way people are always stopping me on the street to comment on how much my rakish good looks, remind them of the fictitious suave secret agent, however, at times I find it rather more than a bit embarrassing!

I do find it odd that somehow they never seem to agree on which “actual actor” that played James Bond, I most resemble. Alas, the only solace in this predicament is that by virtue of my “natural manly swagger”, I have never been compared to Pierce Bronson.

Chalk it up to vanity if you will, but the strange fact is – that I do often feel like 007, although I have never shopped at jamesbondlifestyle.com. Perhaps it’s the internet technology, at my fingertips, that makes me feel this way.

You see, I appreciate the fact that much of what I use on a daily basis would stymie the likes of “Q” during the “Shawn Connery” era.

In all actuality, my guess is that my daily reality would dumfound any screenwriter attempting to create new fiction that outpaces, or is “wilder” than the covert tools at my desktop’s disposal.

Of course, at the moment, I’m thinking about Heat Map technology.

Among the other services like SpyFu.com, which we have mentioned before, Heat Maps is yet another “must-have tech-tool” for conducting advanced, high stakes, covert Internet espionage for profit!

Heat Maps are especially useful. They work in much the same way, as installing tiny micro cameras into the private rooms of people visiting your website, only better.

For instance, there is no need to rappel onto their balcony from the roof and remove the cover of their ventilation systems, to install it.

In most cases, you can perform your covert surveillance by simply adding a snippet of code to your website while you are making other routine changes. Once it is set up, you can log into your control panel and watch your users in real time, even from a monitor in the dash of your Austin Martin – if it is “web enabled”.

If you are not familiar with Heat Maps, or how to use them, then this post will open your eyes.

In fact, I believe that by the end of this post you will be both visibly “shaken” and emotionally “stirred”!

You may even want a Vodka Martini yourself, as you read on…

I was watching the BBC and was wondering what it was that is driving the “99%” to go out into the streets, occupy Wall Street, block bridges, face arrests, beatings, macings and even possibly being tasered for their cause?

Why is it that we are witnessing this social phenomenon now, nearly 4 years after the bailouts of 2008, rather than back at the height of the crisis, while the decisions were being made, and the faces of the decision makers were on the fronts of every news outlet worldwide?

Will this movement build to reach the level of violence and unrest seen in the recent London Riots, Lyon Riots in France, upheavals across Greece, and others of the EU nations, in the last few years?

These, are the twenty trillion dollar questions, being pondered, and addressed by the brightest minds in political science, economics, psychology, and sociology in the world!

I’m not sure, however, I do know one thing for certain.

Historically we can know that like any social movement that has come before, this movement will inevitably possess a predictable cycle of growth and decline, regardless of whether the movement’s goals and aims are achieved.

The outcome of this movement like any other depends solely on how well the emerging leaders can; (for lack of a better word) “CAPITALIZE” on the fervor, amongst their faithful, to grow membership numbers into a formidable force for change.

In this respect, timing is everything!

In this month’s post, we will ponder and discuss the “cycles” of membership, when it is most likely that you can CAPITALIZE on the “fervor” of your own members, and how to extract the highest social impact to increase membership growth organically, and increase your profits.
