Green Web Hosting – ThinkHost Is No Longer My Choice

UPDATE: Due to so many complaints, I’m no longer recommending ThinkHost.

So, ignore the rest of this and [...]

Revolution Money Is Possible PayPal Replacement That Has Real Merit

I personally have never had a problem with PayPal but because they are not a bank, and can’t be regulated like one, the possibility of them freezing your account is very real, and has caused many people to get very upset over the years.

I am giving away 5 free GrandCentral invitations

UPDATE: NO MORE GRANDCENTRAL INVITATIONS ARE AVAILABLE. I’M ALL OUT, SORRY.
