Webhost reviews

When I was looking for a webhost for my new website, it was like looking for a particular sea-shell at the sea-shore. So many hosts and you don't know which is better. That is when I hit upon LunarPages. It has a good collection of webhost reviews. I presume it will be of great help if you are going to make your own website!

Entrepreneur Blogger!!!!

Now, I can safely call myself an entrepreneur blogger, because I have successfully used blogging to start my own venture! For sometime, I have been blogging for PayPerPost, the service that pays bloggers to review products and website. In fact, I had made an amount close to $1000 when I took a breath to do something with that money. Got a nice idea, thought why not emulate DCBlogs in the area of Indian technology blogs. But then, I did not know to design such websites.

So, I took help from GetAFreeLancer.com...Here, there are programmers who do the job for you in turn for money. But the cool thing is that it is a bidding system.So, I got really cheap bids. I chose one moderately cheap bid(with good previous ratings) for the job, and got my job done. It feels really cool to have your own venture running!

Also, I found that most of us can also find some jobs there as copywriters or proofreaders, which are easy jobs. Wow!! So many ways to make and invest money on the internet!!

Yahoo's a copycat!

Yahoo recently was caught copying recipes. Now it has been caught red-handed stealing poems. What the hell is happening..It's been conveniently putting the blame on WebDunia, but then, Yahoo is equally responsible for plagiarism, right?

How to buy a credit card

I met up with this guy on the train. He was working as a salesman for credit cards though he's changed job now. Knowing that he will not pester me for a card, I began talking to him about how to change or apply for credit cards. He said,first step is to hop on to a nice website to compare credit cards. Because you might never know which offers more benefits unless you compare them. The next step is to weigh the different options. Like some banks might offer 0% credit cards or easy balance transfers. The final step is to visit the website of individual banks to check out the final intricacies.

Skate along

Of late, skating has really caught on in this part of the world among the kids. I never skated when I was young. That pretty much implies why I don't now. But, it is so common to see kids these days skate. And that also shows why there is so much options to choose while choosing the skate decks. If you look in this website for skate decks, you shall see the numerous brands available; like my favorites like Antihero and Blind Skate decks. Man! the blind skate deck is really cool. I really want to try them out. It's like 43 dollars. I need one...Anyone for a bday gift!?

Piracy is or good!

I always thought companies like Microsoft were fighting against piracy. But never for a moment realized that it could actually help the company as well. Quoting the text which says so:

For one thing, there's no reason to think that a given user of pirated software would have actually purchased a legitimate copy. Furthermore, the argument ignores the fact that companies actually benefit in some ways from piracy, because a user of pirated software is likely to purchase software from the same maker at some point down the road.

Financing for home

We recently decided to purchase a INR 4000K worth home interior in the city. The house builders have a good reputation. However, for such a huge sum, financing does look like a big problem. I contacted my banker friend, and he asked me to first have a look at the basics from some credible websites. I did go through some pages on Home Loans and other things like Debt Consolidation.

Not that I am now cent percent confident about going it, but I now have the basic knowledge to proceed further, thanks to the online resource.

World Cup Starts today!!!

The Cricket world cup started today with hosts West Indies playing Pakistan. West Indies did play well after initial hiccups. They have made 241 in the first innings. Till now, Pakistan has had a bad start to their campaign. Two guys Nazir and Younis are already out..

IMHO, Younis out means 25 percent of Pak is out. The remaining 50 percent(Yousof) and 25 percent(Inzy) still remain...Hope.

Flip Flops

The other day I glanced through the word Flip Flops on some site and I was wondering if there are sites for them too. Apparently there is one really good site that offers reef flip flops; quite a nice collection and prices are also reasonable enough. I am wondering if I shall order one myself. Looks cool...

Christian dating site

New community based dating is the flavor of the season. I recently came across a new christian dating site. I think the concept is good before in places such as where I live, it is deemed absolutely essential to marry a person from your own community. So, such dating sites will ensure that community based issues dont arise further on once you have found your mate and Christian Singles find someone from amongst themselves...
