A New Social Network Site

With the recent economy meltdown, I'm always looking for new ways to promote my blog and my website. So, when a new opportunity sows itself, I'm all eyes.

Lately, I've been hearing a little about Acobay, a new social network whose goal is to promote bloggers. It's certainly an interesting concept, but I'm wondering with it being new, how will their company survive in the current economic crisis.

The unique thing about Acobay however, is that they want you to share stuff you own and places you've been. But, really I'm not sure why other members would want to know about the stuff you own unless you have it up for sale. Now the places you've been, I could see because it's an easy way to explore the world.

I'm just learning about the network, so I can't honestly say that I love it. To me it's just another social network where I can promote my work!!! But, who knows! I may find that I like it even more in the near future and blog more about it. Until then, feel free to check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Website Options For the Future

Someday I want to set up a website where visitors are not limited to what they can read from me and I'm not limited to what I can write. In the mean time blogging is the next best thing.

However, when I do make that switch, I've often wondered if I'll be able to keep up with the design and tech stuff of the website. A lot of times I can get very busy with writing articles and other times I find myself having to take frequent breaks because of kids. So where in the world would I have time to sit down and design an entire website, plus keep up with everything else? I really don't have an answer for that, but I do know that there are some companies out there who are willing to help.

Companies like Network Solutions who's web design company offers one on one consultations so they know just what I want my website to look like. Then they design my website with my approvals. It's great to know that I'm still in charge, even though I'm not doing the work.

At the moment I'm only seeing a few different package choices. One is a simple package for about $500, plus a monthly fee for hosting while the other is much more detailed for creating existing websites and offering more design choices. It's price is about $1400, but there's no monthly fee for hosting.

If it were me I'd go with the cheaper of the packages and then maybe consider advancing to the other package in the future. What do you think? Is this something worth really looking into?

You Won't Get Rich Quickly, But You Will Make Money.

Ever wondered where all of the money made from ads, etc. goes ...from social networks like,
Myspace, Facebook, etc? Well, it's pretty obvious it goes straight to their pockets. Every time we sign up for an account like theirs, they get paid from the ads we view, pages we visit, etc. Sounds pretty fair, doesn't it?

A while back I signed up for a social network known as Yuwie, a network that I was again reminded about several weeks ago. I forgotten I was member until I tried signing up under a friend. Now why I didn't keep my account active, I will never really know, but it was a dumb move on my part.

All of this time I could have been making a little extra cash by visiting friend's pages and
leaving them comments, etc. Things I have a habit of doing on a daily basis with other
social networks, anyway. But instead, I am getting paid for it.

How? Well, it's that little thing called Ads. The very same thing that networks like, Myspace
and facebook are making a big profit off of, Yuwie is sharing with it's users. Is there a
catch? Nope. It's free just like the other social networks.

Want to know more? Here's how it works:

• Simply hang out on Yuwie's website.
• Visit your friend's pages.
• Leave comments on your friend's pages.
• Get your friends to do the same.

That's it. Really. It's that easy. If you want to make even more money, you can refer others
and have them sign up for an account through Yuwie as well. When they refer others and/or
have their friends visit their page and leave comments, etc. You make money. The more you
do, the more money you make. It's that simple.

Even on the months I wasn't active, I noticed I'd made $0.54 cents. I had one friend. That
was it. $0.54 cents for doing nothing. How insane is that? It might not be enough to make me
rich, but $0.54 is better than nothing at all. And now that I am an active member, the
possibilities are endless!

If you love networking with friends, why not make a little money while you are doing it?
It's easy and free. Go Ahead. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Cables, Cables, Everywhere

I don't know much about cables or fiber optic cables, and I won't pretend to know much either. I do know that cables are used on various electronic items..including my laptop and I know that Cable Plus USA knows their stuff when it comes to cable related matters.

If you're interested in knowing more about Cables Plus USA, there are quite a few customer reviews for them on their website. From the looks of things they seem to have great customer service. That's a rare thing nowadays!
