I just got the email today from Skype… you – and I – can now use Skype to call out over the 3G network of AT&T. The service is free till the end of the year. Then a “small monthly charge” applies… how small or large I haven’t heard. Just as that announcement came, AT&T [...]

I just had to sign up for PayPeopleOnline.com because one of the companies I market for requires that… they want to make sure they have proper W-9 information on all their affiliates.

I posted earlier today about foreclosures and loan modifications so this post is related. I consider this very important information to know if you are involved in a foreclosure situation and may be facing the loss of your home. Evidently, most mortgage documents contain errors and omissions which in a foreclosure situation could be to [...]
