Powerhousing the competition

Posted by flooter under Nice resources, Top Fav

I don’t know why Yahoo, MSN or ASK even try anymore.  I mean do you ever think, hey, I need to find something…lets see there is Altavista, dogpile, msn, and lycros?  I remember one occassion when google failed me, I went to msn to do the search.  WOW.  I immediately felt remorse.  How could I have doubted google?  I remember thinking, I probably just typed in the search incorrectly.  If I had typed in the right keyword then google would’ve done its job perfectly.  

I can’t even give that excuse anymore.  Now it has auto-spell check on all searches.  But that is nothing. Now, when there is a fire within miles of where you live and you need some info, you don’t have to read about the San Diego fires in the 1880s.  Now you can seamlessly click one link and eliminate everything but that one bit of info you need to figure out if you need to check your email or evacuate. 

Watch the video for info on what they’ve added to their search:

Spoofee, Slickdeals and Woot

Posted by flooter under Nice resources, Top Fav

I frequent these sites quite a bit.  They have preeety great deals, and users from all over bring together all the loot from other sites.  Deals on merchandise, coupons, food and freebies.

Users also give you the heads up when restaurants (like Chipotle, Chick-fil-a and others) are giving away free food too.chipotle

We took advantage of this one last year thanks to Spoofee.com :

“Chipotle is offering a free burrito if you come into their store on 10/31/07 from 5pm~close dressed like a Chipotle burrito, taco, bowl or salad.”

 

www.spoofee.com - my source for most of our goods

www.slickdeals.net - not as slick as spoofee, but perhaps more content.

www.woot.com - One deal a day.

 

Free food always tastes better.
