  1. HSBC is doing good with its Internet marketing efforts. Aside from RSS, gadget, banner ads, it also has mobile services such as customized SMS alerts on specific events (e.g. IPO notification, bank overdraft notice, etc.).

    For Quality Healthcare, it sounds like they need to upgrade their server if it's usually slow.
