Adam Ginsberg Launches ShortenMe.net
Adam Ginsberg launches ShortenMe.net – another addition to the long list or URL shortening websites. What is ShortenMe.net anyway? ShortenMe.net is a URL shortener. URL shorteners transform ugly, long URLs into short ones that you can email without fear of them breaking – or include in Twitter tweets without using up too many characters. What the headings mean URL length shows how many characters (including the http:// at the front) the shortened URL generated for this site’s homepage was. The first figure is the base length (EG http://shortenme.net/ is 20 characters), the second number is the short code generated (this can vary from 4 to 6 characters at most services – popular services have used up all the 4-character ones already,...

Using Facebook and Twitter for Increasing Online Sales
Community sells. Members discuss shared interests – hobbies, travel, politics, medical conditions, favorite foods, you name it. They create their own buzz and ‘user-generated’ content about their favorite products and services. They recommend things to one another – everything from the cars they drive and the restaurants they frequent to the places they travel for vacation.

All of these communities can help you research popular products and services and spread the...
Adam Ginsberg eBay Template Software: What are Auction Templates?

Those listings were the catalyst for what would become Template Optimizer – the #1 source for eBay template software. I’ve read lots of reviews online for Template Optimizer – most have been favorable and some comments not so positive. This will be true when anything is reviewed on the internet.
