Real Estate Cybertips: December 2004
TRICK#1: SPEAKING SEARCH ENGINE (REALLY)! CYBER MAGIC TRICKS
TRICK#1: SPEAKING SEARCH ENGINE (REALLY)! Just type in your search words as you normally would and hit enter. If you want to visit a site while the results are being read to you just press the result number on the keyboard and it will redirect to that site. It's kind of a Google with a British accent!
TRICK#2: COMPARE YOUR PHONE COSTS! Just go here for a quick comparison of phone deals in your area -- both regular land line and cellular. Once you enter your location you'll see a list of over 20 companies ranked by estimated annual savings along with long distance and in-state rates plus any other costs. One click on the Company name brings up detailed information regarding this particular plan. There is no cost for this service and the host is compensated by a small commission paid by some of the companies listed and reviewed. Good value finder for homeowner or business tycoon alike!
GREAT PLACES
GREAT PLACE #1: INTERNET SAFETY PRIMERhttp://surfthenetsafely.com/ A very smart retired college professor has created a fine primer on Internet safety. Then, at this great place, he pulled together this very understandable information on all of the "nasties" out there -- along with tips on how to cope with all this bad stuff. He describes his work of art as follows: "Short of never going on-line, what can the average PC user do? Dire as it sometimes seems, the situation is by no means hopeless. This site is dedicated to helping the average PC user make full and safe use of the Internet. It is a collection of pages outlining defenses against the various threats and annoyances and the steps that can be taken to ensure that we continue to enjoy the Internet." Good stuff for coping with the nasties!
GREAT PLACE #2: CAN'T FIND YOUR OPERATING MANUAL? Go to this great place the next time you lose the manual to your answering machine, VCR, office equipment or a myriad of other products around the house or office. All you need is the model number and you can access the product's manual -- and even better see simulations showing how the features work. If you misplace your operating manual about 3 hours after you get home with your latest gadget, this place is for you!
