Three beggars are begging in New York City.
The first one wrote "beggar" on his broken steel cup and he received ten bucks after one day.
The second one wrote "beggar.com" on his cup and after one day he received hundreds of thousand of dollars. Someone even wanted to take him to NASDAQ.
The third one wrote "e-beg" on his cup. Both IBM and HP sent corporate vice-presidents to talk to him about a strategic alliance and offered him free hardware and professional consulting. In addition, Larry Ellison claimed on CNBC that e-beg uses 95% Oracle technology and i2 announced begTradeMatrix, a B2B industry portal offering supply chain integration in the beggar community.
