Marketplaces “hate” monopolies – at least where competition is allowed. To date and the foreseeable future, the Windows operating system has a near monopoly on business software applications. Will VMWare intrude into Microsoft’s monopoly – or rather – allow other users to get a piece of the pie without requiring Windows users to switch wholesale? [...]

The young and healthy don’t buy health insurance. So an insurance company is trying to coax them into the system by offering less coverage for lower premiums and giving them the option to buy more later. According to the story though, young people are better off with Health Savings Accounts and high deductible policies “in [...]

I’ve been tracking the fate of the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool which went out last week. You can read posts here, here, here, and here. The main thing though is that it’s back up. For a program that works in the future in the event of an outage, I suggest the one I used during [...]

For many forum owners, Google’s Adsense program seems to be the only way they can think of to make money from the traffic to their forum. Let’s face, it selling ads the old way one at a time is a pain! As a result, other than some affiliate links sprinkled around the site, forum Adsense [...]

My Angel Food Ministries lens is inching up. This morning out of 237,000+ pages on Squidoo, it’s number 113 and number 3 in it’s category of food and cooking. I’m excited to know that in the short life of this lens, it’s gotten the attention of the non profit it was designed to help. 74 [...]

Here’s a relatively new site/blog combo I’m very familiar with on the “fix credit file” topic. It doesn’t have Akismet installed to kill spam (though that’s good) so all comments are set to be moderated. My point in all this is that the site’s about a month old and already getting spammers trying to leave [...]

The lens I made for Angel Food Ministries is, this morning at least, ranked number 144 out of over 237,000 lenses on Squidoo.com! It was created Monday night. I hope you’ll visit the lens today, leave a comment, and give it a ranking! (Hopefully 5 Stars!) And hopefully you can see some things about it [...]

I downloaded Shareaholic for Firefox to help bookmark my Angel Food Ministries Lense. That’s when I joined Facebook It searched through my email account for contacts and automatically I’ve got like 30 friends. One of them emailed me “Do you think we’re the oldest people on facebook?” I said “No… I had over 30 contacts [...]
