Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Here is some fun for you techies out there. Try your hand at giving an extreme makeover to a Motorola cell phone circa 1985. His name is Dusty. Can you guess why?

You can give him all sorts of accessories like hair, hats, and more to make him look good for the here and now. His house is even dated to the 80s era. It’s actually quite sad.

Others are already in on the fun. Check out the gallery to rate your competition. while you are getting Dusty styling, make sure to jot down your promo code for 10% off wireless accessories from Your Wireless Source. Offer valid through 12/31/07.

Disposable phone number for online adverts

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I was just reading on Kim Komando about the free phone number you can get from Craig’s List. It’s all about keeping your information private and your home safe. I love the idea of the Craig’s Number. You can even use the number on other classified listing sites online.

This is an idea that should be expanded for online usage everywhere. I think that any time you can keep your privacy while using the Internet it’s a red letter day. So many people are being swept up in controversy lately, it is best that we all look to making our online lives safer.

Voicemail makes the difference

Small businesses are always fighting the big fish companies for exposure and recognition. I have found that if you look big and act big, then eventually you will become that thing which you are purporting. Business is no different.

Getting a toll free number in addition to your local line will show people that you are willing to put them on your tab to get their business. Using an answering service after hours lends validity to your business. Having someone else deal with your mail also makes a difference. The more professional your services appear, the more business you will gain. Make your business all it can be by changing your image.

Microsoft and Google’s Feud

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

I just got finished reading a blurb about the whole acquisition and I laughed out loud. Honestly, I think it’s hilarious that Microsoft is having a cow over Google taking over Doubleclick.

Google = Antichrist. What did they THINK was going to happen? Read the Bible! The Antichrist takes over the world and lulls it into a sense of “I’m okay, you’re okay” while he thinks “all your content are belong to me”. Google is in the position to take over the Internet on all levels. They are releasing their own pay per link advertising and ousting their competition. Soon every ad on every website will be powered by Google. Just wait and see what their next acquisition is…
