Three beggars are begging in New York City.
The first one wrote "beg" on his broken steel cup and he received ten
bucks after one day.
The second one wrote "beg.com" on his cup and after one day he received
hundreds of thousand dollars. Someone even wanted to take him to
NASDAQ.
The third one wrote "ebeg" on his cup. Both IBM and HP sent
vice-presidents to talk to him about a strategic alliance and offered
him free hardware and professional consulting while Larry Ellison
claimed on CNBC that ebeg uses 95% Oracle technology and i2 announced
begTradeMatrix a b2b industry portal to offer supply chain integration
in the beggar. Cisco just announced that virtually all ebeg traffic
runs over their equipment.
