Group Purchase Sites Not Automatically Recommended For Business

Some of you might recall that I recommended Groupon, Wagjag, and other group purchase sites, for advertising, as well as purchasing goods and services. However I may have been a bit hasty. Read the remainder of the blog entry for an updated view, and for links for more reading.

I Recommend The IBM Model M Keyboard

I love good keyboards. They are comfortable to type with, and they have a really decent resistance. I read that the IBM Model M keyboard is the way to go. If you see 1 of these at a garage sale, then hold on to it or resell it. Do not take my word for it, though. Read more about it.

iTalkBB For Internet Phone Service

A while ago, my brother decided to switch to internet phone service [i.e. VOIP]. At first, he tried to go with Shaw, since he was getting cable service and internet service from them. Unfortunately, he did not get that working, so he tried iTalkBB. He loved it so much that he managed to convince us to get it. Read the remainder of the blog entry for my thoughts on the service.

Group Discount Web Sites

Earlier on, I mentioned Groupon and Wag Jag. Here is more information on the other web sites out there. Most of them are US focused, so Canadians should not spend too much time on these pages that I shared below, but it would be worth looking into, to see if you could benefit. Maybe you could create a better group web site, since these sites are beginning to saturate the market.

So far, Groupon seems to be my favourite overall pick.
