I'm going to write a wiki-article called UPSFEDEXAPHOBIA - an inordinant but reasonable fear of shipping. (Personally, I call it conflict avoidance.) |

I've made some significant jack from GoogleAdSense.

Start your own blog at BlogSpot | ||
| (free advice: make your blog available to rss feeds so it can be added into other websites, my.yahoo.com for example) | |||
Please begin your Amazon.com shopping experience here.
Think Google. Live Google. Shop Google. |

I've only bought a couple things on Ebay. I'd rather use google product search or nextag.com and not risk dealing with individuals. I think I'm the only one. |
Okay, three-in-a-row here. Cnet.com is another great site that accepts user reviews. I'll go there and give my ATT 8525 wifi-enabled, pda phone a C+. |
There are many opportunties to shine your brilliance upon an unsuspecting world. Like wiki, Amazon affords you the privilege of opining on your favorite tome. |
Folks, wikipedia.com is not a "real". (Well, it's not an authoritative, peer reviewed document like the Brittanica.) All you need to do to contribute an article in the world wide wiki is to log in and start typing (of course, they do have thought police deciding if you are just screwing around with them so try to be "authoritative"). Make it a personal challenge to post up an article that passes the filter. |
Okay, admittedly this is a little complicated... google earth has a community layer where anyone can set placemarks and anyone can see (if they have turned on the layer you post in). Most people post photos or travel notes of the location. I have cross-referenced my world webcams (see #1 above) with google earth so you can see the live video and also see the exact location on earth presented in the video. Get out there and be magnificent. |
If you host your own website you have a world of possibilities and tool to discover and deploy. Facebook.com will always enjoy sponsoring your junk or you can check the genre of sites typified by flickr.com. |
There 1.4million blog pages written everyday! Don't be the last person to bore the world with the trivia of your life. Clicking the button will take you to a list of several blogs of friends. blogger.com pioneered and dominates the market. |
google earth is the world's last great addiction. Get it. Go there. |
google.com is bent on world domination! (Sooner or later you will obey.) Click the button to go discover the great big google world. Be sure to check out SMS and all the remarkarkable things you can do from your plain old cell phone. |
WIth most hosted domains, you can set up and forward vanity emails aliases (you@yourdomain.com) to your generic accounts (you@yahoo.com). That way you can have a dedicated, personalized email address and still grab it anywhere from the generic .com. |
Hosting packages are cheap unless you are trying to post up every photo you ever take. I think that is what Facebook.com is for. |
