Clicksmart.com is a website directory of certified experts in a wide variety of occupations and professions.  Their website lists eight different categories: contractors, florists, home & office services, massage therapists, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, weddings & events, and moving companies.  It is really easy to find what you are looking for.  For example, if you were looking for San Jose Realtors, you would click on Real Estate Agents, then fill in the State of California and the City of San Jose.  Then you would click on “Search” and the website would bring you to the website that shows you the Realtors in San Jose.  It can’t get any easier than that!

I watched the big debate on television last night, as I’m sure millions of other people did. I was really disappointed in how many times McCain was using untrue statements. I used to think that he would make a good president, but now I think that this country would be in really big trouble if he got into office. We don’t need someone running the country that would be resorting to spreading lies about his competitor during the campaign. We need someone we can trust to be honest with us, and he has proven that he won’t be honest with us. That’s really too bad.

In today’s economy, one of the most important things a business can do is to set up an account where they can be involved in credit card processing their sales.  Accepting credit cards makes their business more attractive to consumers like me, who use credit cards for almost everything under the sun!  I use credit cards everywhere I possibly can – I have a rewards card that pays me a cash back reward for every purchase I make, so it is like getting a discount on everything I buy!

The OnlineChecks website at onlinechecks.com is the ideal way for a business to get started in accepting credit cards.  They require no contracts, charge no fees, and supply the business with a free credit card machine.  This sure makes it a lot easier to get set up accepting credit cards!

I was shocked to read a news story on a website called salon.com that there is an international reporter that has worked for both the Obama campaign and the McCain campaign, essentially to scope them out and get a story for her paper, which is called NRC Handelsblad.  What I was shocked about was reading that the McCain campaign was having her (and others) ghost write letters to the editor from fake people who were singing the praises of the Republican candidates!  These letters were to be used by the campaign to be sent around the country to different newspapers to be (hopefully) printed out as “real” letters to the editor!  The intent, of course, was to generate votes for the Republican party!

I was very disappointed to hear that this kind of activity is going on behind the scenes of the campaign!

In this global economy, the Internet is the place to be if you want to advertise your business globally.  Marketing Lane is a marketing company poised to help all businesses, large or small to market their business over the Internet.  I was just checking out their website and was interested to see that they are willing to take on small customers as well as large ones.  Most marketing companies (unlike this one) don’t seem to want to waste their time on the “little” guys with the small businesses.
