New Privacy!

Over the last few weeks Facebook has been requesting that you review the new privacy terms. But now you no longer can move onto your page until you do complete the new update. With the new rules you get to do a little more tweaking your privacy. You can still remain closed to anyone outside your circle of friends, or open a few things to others. I think that’s pretty neat, but still would recommend to stay within your circle. There are just to many people out there looking to scam you. Opening up to others will open that door of trouble, it really will. Stay within your circle, make the right setting changes. By staying within your circle of friends will help keep the creeps away. If everyone remained as private as they can will help keep the creeps off Facebook, so think about that as well, remain private.

New Hosting Providers!

I have a few questions for all of you. Are your fed up with your hosting provider? Does your site have a lot of down time? And do you feel that your hosting provider could deliver much better customer service? If you answered yes to any of these questions you need to seek out another provider, fast.

If you’re business website constantly goes down it will cost you money, and customers. If you’re a site owner, business or personal, you know how hard it is to find reliable web hosting, which is very critical to your business. As most of you know, when your site goes down you just want to pull your hair out. You purchase a plan, your promissed up site time, then out it goes, drives me nuts. So do what I did, research, research, and research your next provider. Call them, talk to someone on the phone. Most of these providers don’t offer toll free numbers, but that’s not a big problem. They just want to reduce the calls for low level questions. To avoid phone charges, call from your cell phone. I know I’m running on here, but I can’t stress enough, call your provider, and research them. Good luck on your searches.

Time To Get Tight!

It’s time to close the wallet and put your money under your mattress.  I’m not kidding; times seem to be getting worst.  During today’s trading, stocks are down again, as of right now.  Some are saying that the Dow will hit 9,000 again.  Yesterdays trading ended badly as well.  The price of oil today has been level per barrel, mostly because the U.S Govt. stated there has been a drop in demand. Let’s not forget that more and more people are losing their jobs during these troubling times.  My advise, stock up and food and have some cash on hand, and stop depending on the U.S Govt.

eBay or uBid?

Here’s a no brainier, or is it! eBay.com is the world’s largest online auction marketplace. You would think they would be the number one choice for everyone. Then why do you think that uBid.com has over 5 million customers and sold over $1 billion dollars in merchandise since 1997. They currently attract over 2.0 million unique visitors a month to its website uBid.com. They also wholy own Bidville.com to handle their entire consumer to consumer marketplace. I don’t have eBay’s numbers, but I’m sure it would top uBid’s. I will say that uBid.com must be doing something right to be growing at the rate they are. I believe that uBid.com/Bidville.com is growing at the rate they are because their rates seem to be lower than what eBay’s are. Although eBay’s rates are higher, you really do get what you’re paying for. So you choose!
