:: Do You Know

Do you know PC Magazine just published their list of the top one hundred products of the last year? Yes, there were some really high dollar items on the list.. But you may be surprised to learn that the #1 and #2 ranked products of the year are both free -and- two products I've pointed you to several times on this blog..

What are they? Firefox and Gmail...

I've provided links to both in previous post. If you need an invite to sign up for gmail, email me and I will send you one.

Gmail is not a cure-all. It has it's failings... text ads along the outer border for one. But, with the ever-changing market, how long do you suppose you will have your current Internet provider? What may appear tomorrow that will make you, or force you, to change email servers?

My wife and I are on the verge of buying a new home in the 'big city'. Once we move, I will lose the IP I have used for several years. Charter Cable, and the resulting my_email(at)charter.net will not be available to me.

Regardless of where we go, I will have access to Gmail. I will forever be able to access my emails from any computer - any where. I know there are security issues storing your valuable emails online, but I don't store banking or credit card informational emails on gmail..

Do you know my personal #1 free product? MyWay.com

MyWay has been my home page for the past couple of years. Comparable to Yahoo and MSN, MyWay has all the same personalized features, minus the banners and pop-ups. That's right.. no banners, no pop-ups, no advertisements period. Just the news, and sports from Reuters, Associated Press, USA Today, etcs.. If you try it, you'll never give it up. I still keep Yahoo and MSN bookmarked so I can visit, they're just not my homepage.. ( (When considering MyWay, be sure to click the 'My Page' icon and personalize your page with your favorite content..)

While I'm on a roll, do you know my favorite post on a blog this year? I can thank Jim Edwards of " The Biggest Lie Ever Told Online " fame, for that little ditty..

Taken from Jim's 'I Gotta Tell You' blog, this post entitled "How to Dominate a Niche with Mini-Sites", complete with an eleven minute streaming video, is my favorite post. Click to Visit

If you ever thought about making money with your magic, this is the secret, rolled into one little post. You can buy a bushel of ebooks that don't explain the basics as well as this free, short video..
