Do You Have Sex Related Questions?

March 31st, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

I remember when I was first learning about sex that there were just so many weird misconceptions around! For example, many of my friends thought that having intercourse standing up meant that they couldn’t get pregnant! One girl event old me that eating a grapefruit everyday would prevent pregnancy! Oh my, it was confusing times for a teenager. Thankfully, I had good parents to straighten me out, and provide the facts as they knew them (which were mostly, thought not completely accurate looking back)!

There are certainly a lot more resources for learning about sex nowadays. For one, no doubt the sex education in school is a lot better. However, many kids are afraid to ask questions (out of fear of embarrassment or looking stupid) in such classes.

There’s a very good website that I recommend for those learning about sex, which is located at sex.healthguru.com. This website provides all kinds of information on STDs, birth control, pregnancy and more. So if you have sex related questions, make sure to check it out. They have a wealth of answers from real Doctors! I sure wish there had been a website like this out there when I was growing up. I know I sure would have appreciated it.

NetFlix Pricing Goes Crazy

March 31st, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

Netflix, who apparently doesn’t realize that we are in the midst of a global economic recession, decided to raise its prices on Blu Ray rentals a whopping twenty percent. The increase will only affect customers who take advantage of Netflix’s BluRay offerings. So, if you are on the Netflix seventeen dollar monthly plan, expect to see a four dollar increase on that.

Why the increase? Netflix says the increase is necessary in order to allow them to purchase a larger inventory of Blu Ray discs, in order to comply with an increase in demand for such discs. However, methinks the new pricing may put a bit of a damper on Blu Ray demand through Netflix.

Blu Ray rentals currently amount to ten percent of Netflix’s overall rentals. It will be interesting to see if that percentage continues to grow or becomes stagnant after this pricing change goes into effect April first.

Email Marketing Service

March 30th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

In my opinion, the difference between a successful business venture, and an unsuccessful business venture is often found in the marketing efforts. If you have a great product or website, but nobody knows about it, you simply will not succeed.

One way to keep folks interested in your company, product or website is to send out a monthly newsletter. A newsletter can keep folks up to date on what’s new with your business, and can also remind those that have forgotten about your website to come and give it a visit. iContact offers an excellent newsletter software that can make sending out newsletters easy! You can find out more about this software by visiting iContact.com.

I also recommend checking out iContact.com for assistance with your email marketing efforts. Email marketing is a very effective way of targeting both past and potential customers for a relatively low cost. iContact provides excellent email marketing software which can help you to attract more visitors, and ultimately increase sales.

Are You Looking For Web Hosting?

March 30th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

Choosing a new web host can be a difficult task, as just about all web hosting companies seem to make the same promises, and offer similar features. If you’re looking for a new web host, you’re probably wondering which companies actually live up to their hype, and how you can tell the difference between the good and the bad.

I’ve been there, and have to say, after having a few bad web hosting experiences, I now do my homework first before choosing a company! When looking for web site hosting I would recommend checking out WebHostingGeeks.com. The Web Hosting Geeks provide unbiased reviews of some of the top web hosts, and they even include reviews from customers who have tried out the hosts. If you have experience with web hosting companies, you could even submit a review or two to be shown on their website!

What I really like about the Web Hosting Geeks is that they provide a good amount of comparison information on different web hosting companies in a very easy to read table format. They even offer suggestions for the best hosts for a particular need, such as Windows hosting, dedicated hosting, budget hosting and more. So make sure that you check out the Web Hosting Geeks before choosing your next web host!

Great Deals On Eyeglasses

March 28th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

During these tough economic times it’s important to look for deals and discounts whenever possible. However, while we can cut back on some items, one should never compromise on their health, and that includes vision care. However there is a way to pay much less for eyeglasses than what you would normally have to. When it comes to eyeglasses, the way to trim the cost on what can be an otherwise expensive purchase, is to shop online at a store like GlassesShop.com.

The first thing you’ll likely notice when you visit the GlassesShop.com website is the fantastic prices that they offer. Personally, before I knew about the deals on eyeglasses available online, I was used to paying around four hundred dollars for a set of eyeglasses! Compare that to eyeglasses which go for under twenty dollars on the GlassesShop website, and it’s quite a large savings.

The eyeglasses they offer are of a high quality, and are available for so cheap because Glassesshop.com cuts out the middle man, and sells directly to consumers like you and me. It’s great when a company passes the savings on such as this!

There are many different kinds of glasses available on Glassesshop.com, such as High-indexted Prescription Eyeglasses, and Discounted Reading Eyeglasses. All of the glasses on their website are well made, and friendly on the wallet. The website itself makes it easy to find the kind of glasses that you’re looking for, as you can browse by price, gender, frame, material, or even use their search feature.

Twitter Aims To Monetize

March 28th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

We all knew that sooner or later (and it seems to be later in this case) that the growing microblogging platform Twitter would look to expand their service in a way that would bring them revenue. It may have taken the folks at Twitter a little longer than most companies, but it seems as though they are about to begin serious monetization efforts. The Wall Street journal is reporting that Twitter is developing a paid account option that will be marketed to their more serious users, including users that market their business through the service.

The real question is what additional features will paid accounts offer in order to entice users? While details are not confirmed, it is believed that paid Twitter accounts would provide services targetted toward business users, such as allowing them to verify representatives. They would also have access to advanced tracking tools in order to see what folks are saying about them, with the goal of making the most out of their Twitter activities.

Save Money On Electronics

March 19th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

I know that many of you are looking to save money on as many purchases as possible these days. It just makes sense to find bargains when money is tighter than usual. Frankly, I was never much of a bargain hunter before, but this recession has taught me how much saving adds up.

When it comes to saving on consumer electronics, I would suggest checking out the Geeks.com website, as they offer some of the lowest electronics prices I have ever seen. In fact, the first thing I noticed when visiting their website is the fantastic “red tag” sale they are having, which offers up to a whopping eighty percent off on a variety of merchandise.

Geeks.com is remarkable in that they are one of the few companies which are really set up to withstand economic downturns. This is largely due to the fact that the Geeks.com prices are low which keeps bargain hunters coming back to their website. As well, Geeks.com often buys the excess inventory of other companies, which is what helps them to offer such low prices in the first place!

Another aspect of the Geeks.com website that I am impressed with is their commitment to customer service, as well as tech support. Their customer service is easily accessible and can be reached by either telephone or email. In my opinion, customer service is one of the most important services any company can offer to their customers, and is often what keeps people coming back, regardless of the economic conditions.

A New Mobile Browser From Firefox

March 19th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

As I probably have mentioned a few dozen times on this blog in the past, Firefox by Mozilla has long been my browser of choice. I have just found it more user friendly than IE (Firefox had “tabs” first, which many of us now could not live without), and significantly faster. Plus, I love the addons. I did, however, try Google Chrome when it first came out, but had some privacy concerns which they have now fixed. I may try Chrome again in the future, but for now I am still a FireFox girl.

So, with that in mind, I was quite excited today when I heard that FireFox/Mozilla has released a Beta version of a new mobile browser, called Fennec. Yeah, okay, weird name, but I have been looking for a better mobile browser for quite some time now (Opera Mini is okay, but fails to open many pages for me). The new Mobile Fennec browser should be helpful to many has it has support for FireFox applications, and offers easy to use zooming and scrolling options. It really makes the best of a small screen size, to give the feel of a big screen experience. I’m still getting used to Fennec, but I’d recommend checking it out if you do a lot of mobile surfing.
