Want to make money online?
Check out Fummo, a new company that will be officially launching on 20th of May and is will pay you $5 for each referral plus 10% of their earnings. So you can make some money without doing anything at all and pile up a neat sum which will be paid at the official launch of the company. Once it starts, you can make more money filling offers, surfing the web, using their search engine and viewing ads. Sign up is quick and easy, and you’ll be done in less than 3 minutes.
EDIT 6th April: After anon below left a comment, I’m not so sure about the company, so do your own checking before getting into it. It seems that the company is not disclosing who they really are and has even shut down the forums, when asked by members to come up with the facts.
Don’t take your health for granted March 29, 2007

Everyone knows the importance of health insurance, but how many consumers actually have quality health insurance that can be counted on in an emergency? Very few I think have an all-encompassing health insurance coverage that is needed for unexpected events and part of the problem this happens is because health insurance plans are quite complex and diverse.
One of the factors that should be kept in mind when selecting a health insurance plan is the history of the company, its financial dealings and statements, when it was founded and other general information. Then check and compare its specifics like, how much are its monthly premiums, what are the deductables or the amount that you have to pay before the coverage comes into effect, co-pay amounts that require payment each time you visit a doctor, who and what all is covered and lots of other crucial issues.
If approached in a step by step manner, finding the right company, the right kind of health insurance at an affordable price is possible. It’s just a question of doing your homework, understanding how things work in the health care industry and selecting an affordable health insurance plan that will work and take care of your family.

Reliance Retail will be converting its recently purchased Adani Retail stores into specialty stores for product lines such as jewelry, medicines, eyeglasses, home furnishings, telecom and consumer electrical stores.

Planning a European vacation March 15, 2007

I love planning for vacations, and the amount we have vacationed last year ensured that I got really good at it. While it is easy planning a vacation to places that one is familiar with like the US, where we have lived from several years, but planning a vacation to countries that we have not been to and where the main language is not English can be a bit intimidating. While I was searching for some good destinations in Europe, I came across Eurobookings.com, which seems to be one of the best places to plan a European vacations, since they have link ups with over 30,000 hotels in more than 1,000 locations.
What I really liked was the way the information was written about destinations in their hotel guide, in a way that made it much more interesting and personable, rather than just a dry listing of facts. It makes it so much more interesting to learn about a city in such a manner. If you look up hotels for Prague, for example, you’ll see some really great hotels that you are not likely to find elsewhere. While holidaying in Europe can be quite expensive, at Eurobookings it is possible to find all types of accommodation, including budget hotels, so it’s a great option for both holiday and business travellers.

Cell phone deals March 10, 2007

One of the most fun things to shop for lately has been cell phones. With the variety and features that cell phones have, it is a lot of fun to find one that is perfect for what you are looking for. I have traditionally used Nokia cell phones and have become quite used to their menus and options. Lately it seems that Nokia is lagging behind other cell phone companies in terms of style as well as functionality and so to find the best deals on cell phones I looked up the most popular site for cell phone deals at Wirefly on eBay.
The Motorola phones seem to be the best bet and at Wirefly you can get some really great deals on Motorola phones when you sign up for a wireless account. The many variations of Motorola RAZR for example are all winners in terms of style as well as usability. After all, you are going to be using your phone on a daily basis, so might as well get something that is great to look at but will not cost the earth. At Wirefly, you will be able to find the perfect match. So go and have a look as some of the great deals on cell phones at Wirefly on eBay.

Reliance Retail is continuing to keep pace with its plan to expand its stores across the country and is searching for land in the Chennai area where it wants to set up its large format stores. The company is also interested in finding suitable locations in Madurai and Coimbatore to open Reliance Fresh stores. The Chennai area alone has more than a dozen now which receive over 12,000 visitors every day.
The company has set up 10 collection centers to grade and process fruits and vegetables. Chief Mentor for Reliance Retail, M. Balachandran, dismissed claims that the company would drive local fruit and vegetable vendors out of the market with their low prices, stating that their stores have a turnover of Rs 120,000 per day, while the total retail market for fruits and vegetables for Chennai is around Rs 18 crore a day. He added that the Reliance Fresh stores are only a test project to understand the market and the main focus of the company will be large format stores.
