The Amazon of Innovation The Design Mind Group

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

New ideas, new products, and new inventions are just some of the things you’ll find over at the Design Mind Group on the web website.

I started to write about them the other day, but ran into a bit of difficulty with the web link. I’m glad I waited. Their entrance page leads you into a world filled with: (more…)

Given Eyes and A Brain For A Reason

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, and this is actually going to be a very short post, but for the millionth time I’ve just been visiting a “highly recommended” program’s web sales page.

The only problem is – is anyone looking CLOSELY at the “data to prove it works?”

What I’m seeing are lots of screenshots of payments allegedly from say Clickbank or Paypal or any number of merchant accounts. There’s nothing wrong with that BUT is anyone looking at the DATES?

We are in 2009. Do you know how many websites I see making large and small (but steady) claims of income, and their “proof” are screen shots going back to as early as 2006. I even saw one the other day where the website was created in 2008, had a copyright of 2007, and a paycheck “proof” dated November 2002. (more…)

Web Hosting Geeks Revisited and Highly Recommended

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

This morning I needed to investigate and make suggestions for a family member on the best place for him to host his website. The website in development is going to be huge, and require extensive use of databases (mysql, etc.). Space is a factor and RAM (tons of it) a definite necessity.

So the solution was super easy! I took a look around the Geek’s web site hosting (where I always head), and I’m almost positive he’s made up his mind – or is narrowing down his focus at least.

The reason this was so simple to accomplish is that Web Hosting Geeks (you might remember I’ve raved about them before) provides reviews, ratings, and even awards – and they’ve been doing business since 2004.

While I was there, what caught my eye was their link to GREEN Web Hosting. Yep, a whole list of the top “eco-friendly web hosts” for all of you looking for not only quality hosting, but also want to feel good – and save the planet – at the same time. Alternative (renewable) energy sources run “green hosted” websites and blogs.

Web Hosting Geeks currently lists eight green hosting websites from 300% green hosting to solar/wind powered hosting to carbon neutral hosts. This is very cool!

But, of course, the Geeks have much more to offer you to help you narrow down your search for great hosting. They have an impressive web site filled with extensive lists of different kinds of web hosting, including budget-friendly hosting, your best UNIX hosting possibilities, which hosts provide the best php for your needs, and so much more.

Excellent information right at your fingertips as you look for hosting or go looking for a new host (I don’t know how many times I’ve changed hosts – I cannot even remember – but as I’ve said before, I sure wish I’d known about WebHostingGeeks.com before)!
