CYBER MAGIC TRICKS

TRICK#1: FEEL LIKE A GOOD WEB FIGHT?
http://www.googlefight.com/
Now you can pit two opposites against each other in this war of the Web! It's not a game but it is good fun! And in addition maybe it will yield you some valuable competitive intelligence information!

Just enter any two words or phrases and see now many times this powerful search engine finds each on the Web - and reports the results back side by side! For example: Pit Fear vs. Courage. Fear wins 11,300,000 to 3 500 000! Again, French Food vs. Italian Food. French food prevails by a hair 2,370,000 to 2,030,000! Love vs. Fear: Love overcomes 65,900,000 to 11,200,000!

Try it with your most rivaled competitor! You may uncover some revealing information!

Neat trick - and fun!

TRICK#2: EDUCATION ON THE WEB - FREE!
http://www.free-ed.net/
Perhaps you know someone who would like to further his or her education -- but is a little short on cash! This neat site provides hundreds of free online tutorials covering a wide range of subjects.

Go there for educational advancement (or curiosity) in a wide range of subjects. You will find the wisdom in a format that is more structured than the general range of information available on the Internet. Take a peek at the index of complete courses and tutorials available for more than 120 different vocational and academic disciplines. The index of course content looks like a catalog for a modest sized college!

Most of these courses don't even require you to register. And best of all they are free!

GREAT PLACES

Here's another exciting way to learn the ins and outs of real estate. No airfare! No hotel Bills! No time away from home! No wore shoe leather! That's what folks are saying about the Second Annual National Real Estate On-Line Convention and Exposition. Although this virtual convention is geared for real estate professionals, many of the talks and booths will have information valuable to anyone with an interest in home ownership, investing in real estate or communicating on the Internet -and all are welcomed without cost!

The program boasts 33 top-notch national speakers, 200+ booths and hundreds of valuable door prizes at this unique virtual event on April 24 - 28 -- and this fun event is free to anyone who registers now at: http://www.recyber.com/preconvention/

Everyone is talking about this!

GREAT PLACE #2: GIVE TILL IT HURTS -BUT DON'T GET HURT!
http://www.charitynavigator.org/
Many times throughout the year we are faced with the opportunity to help a charitable cause. But sometimes we would like some additional impartial information about the charity we are considering.

This great place provides a guide to intelligent giving with information that evaluates the financial health of more than twenty-one hundred charities. You will also find sections for "Charity Search", "Charity Ratings" plus "Articles and News".

These philanthropic folks feel, that by guiding intelligent giving, they will advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace.

They are very giving!
