I have had Hotmail since 1999 before Microsoft owned it.
Although I have tried other e-mails, Hotmail is an excellent choice. It is reliable and the search function to find old emails works extremely well! Free yet works like a product you have to pay for. I'm happy!
Great place to find good deals!
However, I would HIGHLY suggest using a seperate e-mail when making an account on Craigslist. There are THOUSANDS of scammers who use craigslist everyday not only to take your money but to steal your information too. After making an account you'll have a variety of e-mails asking you to update/confirm your information which is your classic spam and overseas spammers.
When selling products you MUST do two things:
If you list your phone #, list is as 123- f o u r 56 - 7 eight 9 10. (Helps prevent spam)
When you explain to customers on how to reply, say something like, If interested put exactly "7 I want your xxxxxxxx item 7" as this will let you know immediately if the e-mail you receive is spam or not.
Finally, be smart. If you are going to pick up something, please bring a friend (more the better) just in case for your safety as there are messed up people in this world.
Makes it extremely easy to price shop between all of the standard travel sites. It does what it claims and does it well!
However, it will soon be joined by others!
Facebook is the leader in social websites.
It is easy to use, fun, convenient, real time, and SAFE! You can view photos, send messages, chat, and even poke! In addition, it is becoming a gold mine for company's to advertise about their products. With that being said, you also have an array of applications or games to play to make your experience better!
Lastly, do NOT blame Facebook or anyone else if your information gets out. Facebook is EXTREMELY secure and offers great protection of privacy. However, you are in charge of how public or private your account is. No need to blame anyone else if you do not take the 20 seconds to change the privacy settings. With that being said, choose carefully if you want to add co-workers as your friends as they can see all of the information and photos you have posted though Facebook has now added features where you can choose to block certain parts of your page from specific people.
Good Luck! Have Fun! Adjust your privacy settings to your desire.
I love Netflix!
However, I usually only use the "Instant" feature on my Xbox 360. Whether you get the DVD's or view them via the internet, Netflix is always very quick about getting the movie to you! It saves the hassle of driving to and from the movie rental stores and also supports our postal system!
i still love netflix, after all these years. thanks for giving them the love they deserve. i want them to keep going, going, going with the great customer service they provide...
:-)
Great service!
By far the best search engine.
The algorithm used for the searches are more complex and definitely more secret then their competitors, but the results are far more accurate and relevant. In addition, Google can be used in a much deeper way then by using simple search terms. However, most average computer users don't need them.
did you read about how Bing steals Google's search results? Google found out through a secret sting operation (planting ridiculous search results to see if Bing would copy, and sure enough, Bing took the bait!). I find it all hilarious.
I have not! That is very interesting and I will have to look into it!
I can't stand Bing. The main reason is that MSN is my homepage and the cursor will automatically go to their search engine box which drives me crazy. In addition, the stories on the side of the page are designed to get you interested. Then you have to click their links so they can falsely increase their search traffic.
you can change your homepage!
haha I know! :p
But MSN is my preference!
GREAT site!
Unlike other sites that only have a couple of cheap frames, this site offers plenty of choices for only $39! Shipping is also reasonable for $4.95! They do have much more expensive frames such as flexible titanium to rimless glasses as well.
All you need is the information from your eye exam to input the correct information.
The glasses are made to order, ship fast, and are made in the USA!
Extremely happy with my purchase and the fact that I saved so much money!
They have a few coupons, but some are more for advertising than actual coupons.
Also, the search is usually not working right. For example, it you want food coupons you can click that but it won't filter out other things. So if there are alot of coupons it takes awhile to browse through them b/c you can only see a few at a time.
Though it is only offered in a few towns, this site is great!
Assuming more than 20 people buy the deal, it becomes valid! Some deals are great while others are so-so. They usually have a different one each day so check back often!
This site looks simply wonderful because groupon seems to have ignored where I live and they seem to only be in the big cites. Cute button :)
I have used it multiple time with absolutely zero problems! Though, for my area it seems that the "Deals" are less diverse and exciting as they were when the site was new. Oh well, the deals are still to be had!
Thank you! Cute picture as well! :)
Great site to read about movies before spending money going to see one or renting one.
However, I suggest reading many reviews, both from the community and from the well known reviewers since there will always be people who both like and dislike a movie. Multiple times I have seen a movie that had great reviews but thought it was awful and vice versa.
Good luck and hope you find a good one!
always loved this site :) And imdb too... http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.imdb.com?rid=a8ed38ae28b3971a7ef71c2d7269ee14
Free site to watch some of your favorite shows!
How can you beat that? Hulu is great and usually only has a couple of ads per episode. Its a very neat and organized site and also has quite a few movies, but most are B movies, or other never heard before types of movies.
Overall, if you have free time and want to watch clear episodes or movies, definitely check out Hulu.com

I was surfing your reviews and found this on hulu...hilarious...http://www.hulu.com/battle-of-the-bods
giving you a big thank you for this one. Funniest thing I saw all week. If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it.
You're welcome!
Thank You for the link! Finally was able to check it out and thought it was hilarious!
I love this site as much as you do... http://www.sitejabber.com/users/115be25e7b164b860ccae2aea993218d
By the way, know of any other good sites like hulu?-- maybe with a wider selection? (I hate when my favorite shows only have a couple episodes available and then they expire. Or I've been wanting to start with season 1 with some shows like 'friday night lights' and can't because they only have the most recent season/episodes
Flat out, the BEST site for any sort of download.
All programs/software have been tested to be spyware/virus free so you can be assured you are safe when downloading anything. Also, pay attention to the reviews for the program you are about to download.
Watch out though, as quite a few programs are trials only, so be sure to not waste you time, look for the free ones! If you need protection for your computer, this is the place to go!

Great site!
It can be pretty addicting though since usually their recommendations are quite appealing! The only slight negative is that their search is not quite up to par with the rest of the site, but try for a couple minutes and you'll find it.
Enjoy the videos but enter the comment discussions at your own risk as they usually tend to entail an argument at every possible chance!
If you find my review helpful, please send me a Thank You and rate it!
Great site for the weather.
Clean, organized, and very easy to use. Also, the addition to have a "future" motion map is great since it can show/predict where storm patterns are going.
Highly recommend it!

Great music site.
Simply type in an artist you want to hear (after making a free account) and you can hear your favorite music and similar music. With FireFox you can install it as an add-on so you can listen to it anytime without having to leave the page you are on.
It also is nice since you can love or hate songs so they will never play again or more often. If you have an Xbox 360 w/ a gold membership you can link you fire.fm account and listen to the music on your 360 with the additional bonus of seeing pictures.
Awesome!
If you find my review helpful, please send me a Thank You and rate it!
I just downloaded firefox but can't figure out how to do the add on. But I love trance and have been listening to last.fm. Can you tell me how to install firefox add on? I would be sooooooo thankful :)
Hi Kristi!
Sorry for the very late reply! To get add ons on to Firefox, simply go to the top, click "Tools", click "Add ons" and then search for Last.fm!
FarmVille is a fun site that has thousands upon thousands of loyalists. Most common, if you have Facebook you'll see some updates having to do with FarmVille.
It is quite simple, either add the application through FarmVille or go to their site. The game is free, though you can purchase items. You start out with a small piece of land and then you have to plow, seed, and harvest your field while gaining money and experience.
Gets more fun an addictive as time goes on!
been playing mafia wars so I guess I should check this out too!!!
While I have wrote great reviews about eBay and Half.com, Paypal is a different story.
For those of you who don't know, PayPal and Half.com are all owned by eBay.
First, not only do you get charged fees for eBay, but you again get charged to use PayPal when you receive money. So essentially, when you sell an item, you have to pay two fees to the same company.
Second, I have had one instance where PayPal helped, yet another where they completely blew me off and ignored proof and documentation I had.
My suggestion is that if you are doing a transaction that involves alot of money and has the possibility of something going wrong, don't do it or don't use Paypal. Now I have had only one or two bad experiences in the many times that i've used it, it still can be a good service assuming you use it with people whom you trust.
Like everything else, just be careful, check, and double check!
Dear Tyler, Thanks for the info. I use Paypal, for small transaction like e-bay movie's or nail decal's I have not yet used them for any large amounts of money. I don' think I have to worry about that. Even when I was working I had a good income but my priority's stand out first. Like car payment. Now that I am disabled I have less money so I don't think I will be buying anything that requires large amounts of money. I hope in the future since I am new to sitejabber that I will be a trusted member soon. I e-mailed site jabber and told them they could contact my former employer to verify that I can be trusted and the type of resume I have. I have worked for many reputable companies in the past. I was also a bible school teacher at Hope Lutheran Church years ago. I have made many mistakes in the paths of my life. I hope in the future to not go backwards, but to keep brushing myself off and try harder the next time. PS. Happy Easter Sincerely, Lorraine W.
Thanks for the comment! It is good to hear that you are turning your life around and involved with a church! :) You have a wonderful and safe Easter as well!
Again, PayPal has been great for both large and small transactions. Just make sure the buyer/seller is reputable!
the fact that ebay thinks they can fee you 3 times (once including paypal is terrible), but i've never had issues with paypal before. I use it to take payment for a website i own, and fees aren't bad.
Thanks exactly my point Tyler. Whenever you receive a large sum of money through PayPal they would limit your account and ask you for obnoxious proof, and even if you provide the documents it would take you months before you see that money in your bank account trust me.
I bought a slim ballast HID kit from DDMTuning about 1 1/2 years ago. So far the product is still working just great and even comes with a lifetime warranty!
If you plan on adding HID lights (just one of their items they sell), then this is the place to get it. They constantly run specials and the price is unbeatable. Please, stay away from no name kits on eBay as they have had many and continue to have many problems and defects. The DDMTuning kits are of EXTREME high quality without the price.
I have told/suggested/and explained my situation with literally, hundreds of people on automotive forums looking into HID's and have ALWAYS recommended them to DDMTuning.com
The lifetime warranty (if your kit comes with one) is far superior because I have personally contacted their GREAT and FRIENDLY customer support team who offered nothing but help in the best positive attitudes I have ever come across. Also, unlike eBay, DDMTuning is located in the USA so if for some reason you need to use the warranty, you can deal with a USA company who speaks clearly and don't have to deal with shipping your product back overseas.
Keep it up DDMTuning.com A+++!
Like eBay, (as this is a partner of eBay) you must carefully read each and every listing and look at the feedback of each seller.
However, I have never had a problem with half.com. Why use half.com instead of eBay?
No bidding and shipping is fixed, so sellers can't raise shipping prices to make additional profit.
However, i still prefer eBay as it is more organized and streamlined with the addition of pictures of the actual item. In either case, great deals, especially on textbooks can be had.
I never heard of half.com before but I hate ebay bidding and ebay shipping scams so will be checking out this site. Thanks
Glad to have helped! :)
As noted, this is a partner of eBay so you use the same login/password as you would eBay.
I wish you the best of luck!
I do love their set prices and how it's ranked to what condition the book is in, I just hate how as a seller the shipping is set, so if you end up having to pay more for the shipping (which i often do), I lose that extra money I sold it for. (Once i made a dollar on a sale) So i guess, it's all about being careful.
I do recommend it as a source of buying, but selling you must pay careful attention for. =]
The set shipping prices is to protect consumers from pricing scams. For example, you could list the item for $1 but then make the shipping $30. This is why Half.com sets the shipping price. Also, if you sell on Half.com make sure to ship books,movies,dvds, and etc. Medial Mail when using USPS for a super cheap cost.

Bobby K. You know I almost forgot about hotmail, but I recently heard more people are using it again for the free GB storage. I do remember hotmail basically invented the phrase viral marketing.
Tyler C. In addition, it was the first e-mail that you could check from any computer that had internet access.
