It bothers me that the Air Lines are increasing their fees across the board. Everything from ticket prices to fees to carry on a second bag. This price gouging has to stop. Not only is this happening but service is worse with less features. For example, meals are served less and less or not at all. You do not even get peanuts in some cases. It has to stop.
Home insurance is very necessary. Many lenders in the US require home owners insurance. You should always carry home insurance but you should only make claims against your home insurance in large damages and disasters such as fires, earthquakes, floods, etc. For more information on home insurance please visit the My Online Insurance Quotes web site.

In an initial blog post IZEA CEO Ted Murphy said they are currently working on removing Google PR as a quality measure from PPP. This was in response to a recent blogger and advertiser survey that identified the removal of PR as the top issue on everyones mind. This project has been “fast tracked” and should take “a few weeks”. This post was dated March 03, 2008. I originally interpreted this to mean that IZEA would remove PR from PPP by the end of the month. After a response from customer service manager Gordon King and other contacts at IZEA it now seems like this will not be the case. Gordon pointed out that the developers are currently working on other projects. Ted Murphy has not since commented on the time frame. Based on the implementation time of Real Rank and other feedback it now appears that we are at least two to three months away from a long awaited removal of Google PR from the PayPerPost system.
After the amazing day yesterday, stocks were down today. Gas prices still are rising. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 46.57 points down .38 percent. The Nasdaq was down 11.89 points down .53 percent. Was this a rally with no real backing?
Facebook Will Hold Out Too Long
It is well known that Facebook has turned down a few buyout offers. The most famous of which was a Yahoo offer for $1 billion in 2006. The young gun talks about it in his video here:
I think it was a poor decision. Facebook is struggling to monetize the site. Facebook social adds is basically a flop and converts terribly.
The stock market exploded up today. The Federal Reserve announced they will be adding two hundred billion dollars into the financial markets. The US Dollar shot up as gas prices continued to rice. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up an incredible 417.07 points. This is up 3.55% in one day. The Nasdaq also shot up 86.53 points. This is up 3.98 percent. What an amazing day. I have not seen a day like this in almost a year.
