Buzzing Free Dating Site

When it first started, dating sites requires members to subscribe and pay monthly. However, the competition becomes stiff, making new startups have no choice but to give free entry.

One of the very successful online dating site is PlentyOfFish, which the owner started it off from home, one person, and grew it to a big business, earning him hundreds of thousands of advertisement revenue every month.

Another will be JustSayHi, similar to Plentyoffish, it is also a free online dating site, but looks more professional, organized and eye catching.

Time to check them out for yourself.

Buzzing Elance

Are you a:
1) Webmaster
2) Graphic Designer
3) Writer
4) Business Consultant
5) Programmer?

If yes, you can make some extra cash for yourself by sourcing projects on Elance.com. Elance is a freelancer website where people post their jobs to get freelancers to finish them. If you have what they need, you can bid on the projects and make some money.

Elance is probably the largest site of its kind, with the most numbers of freelance writers providing their services. Of course, it works the other way round too. If you need help with softwares, graphic designs and the like, you can buy their service there.

Elance adopts a feedback rating system similar to Ebay. After every transaction, service buyer will rate the provider and vice versa. So, it is safe to transact with those who have a high rating.

When it comes to paying your provider, you can have your payment escrowed by Elance. In this case, you will pay Elance. Once you receive your deliverables, you will notify Elance to release the payment to the provider. This will minimize most fraud.

Looking for a way to make more money? Or you need some jobs done? Elance is your solution.

BuzzBadge to MailBigFiles

You want to attach a file but your mail service tells you "Your file is too big". What can you do?

YouSendIt can help you send your blog files to anyone in the world with an email address. You can send a file up to 100MB in size.

Alternatively, you can use MailBigFiles. The interface is simple and it allows you to send any file up to the size of 512MB, which is 5 times more than YouSendIt!

Gmail is good enough to handle most of my attachments. But if I cannot make it work, I usually use YouSendIt, until I found out MailBigFiles recently. It is always good to have another great service under my belt.

BuzzBadge to Make A Feed

Blog usually comes with an RSS feed. What if you have a website? Or you have a few pages you want to have feed on? Similar to PonyFish, Make A Feed can generate a feed for you in an instant.

How can you use a feed?
1) You want to trace the changes of a blog, but the blog do not have an RSS feed.
2) You want to track new lyrics added to a lyrics directory, but again, it does not have a feed address.
3) You want to track the changes to Terms of Service of a company, such as Google Adsense.
4) You want to track an announcement board.
5) You want to get all the updates in your RSS reader.

I am sure there are more ways to use a feed. I found using feed to track Terms and Conditions pages most useful, since we normally do not check those pages frequently after we agreed on them.

WordPress And Themes

Blogger has always been easy to use. However, if you need more functionality, such as the ability to categorize your blog posts, adding pages to your blog, you can always use Wordpress, the standalone version. You need to register a domain and buy some hosting spaces for this purpose.

You can download the latest version of Wordpress here.

I like Wordpress for its functionality, flexibility and expandability. There are many plugins you can use. In fact, you can almost find all the plugins you need.

Other than the plugins, it is easy as well to install and change themes for your blog. You can get the themes here.

Talking about themes, SmashingMagazine has a long list of 83 Most Beautiful Wordpress Themes.

Buying Real Estate In Orlando

Orlando has always been a place to stay. Orlando welcomes more visitors each year than the population of California – over 43.3 million (2000 statistics), which makes Orlando the number one tourist destination in the world.

The current population of Orlando is approximately 185,000 and the Metro-Orlando population is over 1,500,000. Orlando continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in Florida as well as the United States.

Thinking of buying Orlando Luxury Real Estate? Exclusive Buyer Agency Office, Buyers Broker of Florida is ready to help you. They specialize in relocation, have the widest selection of homes, able to advice on 6 counties, and most importantly, they represent only the buyers, never the sellers.

Expert Buyer Representation

Real Estate offices that also list seller properties for sale cannot always represent buyers. Would you hire an attorney that would represent you only part of the time? Or one that dabbles in everything and specializes in nothing? Of course not! You need a friendly partner who knows what they are doing that you can always trust all the time.

Duties only for Buyer, never sellers
Exclusive Buyers Agents owe buyers the fiduciary duties of 100% Loyalty (always on your side), 100% Confidentiality (keep private your personal/financial information) and 100% disclosure (tell you everything).

I guess if you are looking for real estate within Orlando, try Orlando-BuyersAgent.

If you are looking for a place to hand about, make new friends, write some blog entries, show off some videos, Dada.net is the place to be.

Dada has recently launched a revenue sharing model for its members. However, they only accepts US and Canada's citizens. Members successfully accepted into the program will earn a share of revenue from Google Adsense ads displayed on their personal pages.

Talking about Revenue Sharing, BlogFeast is a good place too. You can register a blog at BlogFeast, enter your Google Adsense Client ID into their system, and start making a generous 90% revenue share! They keep only 10% and you earn 90%. It is the most generous site so far.

Back to Dada, one of the feature that amazes me is its friend finder. By just changing the criteria you want, the friends are ajaxedly loaded on the left panel. This is the first time I see Ajax being used on friend finder, it is impressive.

Would You Pay To Read A Blog?

Scott at Blog Herald and Darren at ProBlogger.net recently discussed the viability of a blog to adopt a paid business model, in which blog readers have to pay to read the blogs.

The answer from me: Yes and no.

Yes:
1) If the blog is so extraordinary
2) If the blog offers something that is more valuable than the money paid
3) If there is a reason to hide the content from general public, so those who paid earn an edge over the others
4) If it is exclusive
5) If paying for the blog gives me a social status

No:
1) There are too many free content on the internet
2) Blog charging for content will no longer be a popular blog
3) It is better giving content for free to get popularity, and then monetize on the popularity

On such a competitive landscape where free content far outweighs demand, it will be hard to implement such a model.
