Cash back on your fuel bills.

It is not my intention to confuse you but still I would like to know your preference. The following are different types of credit cards with varying benefits. Let me know what will be your choice.

Balance transfer credit cards.

Air miles credit cards.

Cash back credit cards.

Gas credit cards.

Business credit cards.

I know it will be difficult to select one especially if you are about to buy your first credit card. Probably you may need my tips. I would go for cash back credit card. Gasoline Credit Cards are even better because they too offer 5 to 6 % cash back on all your gas bills. If you do a simple calculation based on your average annual gas consumption, you will realize that you would save a considerable sum if you pay all your fuel bills through gas credit cards.

Almost all credit card issuers offer gasoline credit cards. To enable you to compare their offers and choose the best, you need to go to CreditCardSearchEngine.com, one of the Internet’s longest running sites for online credit card comparison. It allows consumers, business and students alike to search, compare, and apply for all types of credit card offers, everything from low interest and reward card to cards for people with bad to average credit.

A place for travelers.

I think tripup.com is a very good website for travelers to meet each other and share their adventures and experiences.

Only in websites like these, we get to know rare places to visit and enjoy that you will not find easily in other travel related websites.

This website has several photos and video clips that are uploaded by the members. One can comment on these photos and videos.

Members are also allowed to create their own blogs and write in details about their travel ideas. The website offers search function with which one can search Photos, videos and the blogs by location and keyword.

The navigation is easy and the site loads really fast.

Demo of dental cosmetics.

Anticipating shooting pain, we close our eyes tightly but keep our mouth wide open for the dentist to do his work on our teeth. Sometimes, we wished to see what exactly the dentist is doing.

Please visit this website Cosmetic Dentistry Guide and watch the graphics on the home page. It demonstrates how the dental veneers are fixed to make you smile thousands times a day.

And I hope you know that dental veneers are used to transform the 'not so beautifully aligned teeth' into a brand new straight white smile as seen on tooth paste ads.

The website is very neatly laid out and the content is highly informative. The website sports a forum which I think is recently launched that is evident from the total number of registrants (only 31).

Radiators for your Honda Civic.

When foreign cars started setting up plants in Madras and in other parts of India, car lovers welcomed it with pleasure. For nearly five decades, we had to be satisfied with the cars that were manufactured locally.

Hyundai was the first to set up its plant in Madras followed by Ford. The competition among them increased with the advent of Honda and Toyota. Among them, the Honda Civic soon became the favorite of everybody.

Sure, it is a great vehicle but like any other car, it requires proper care, maintenance and protection. The cooling system consists of the Civic Radiator, water pump, thermostat and various clamps and hoses.

Generally, radiators will last long if properly maintained. In case of repair or replacement, one can bank on radiator.com, the leading online source of automotive radiators. Radiator.com is a trusted, family-run, American business and is the leader in online automotive part sales and distribution.

A search engine for realtors.

Ok, let me change my title slightly-A search engine for real estate. I know even an ordinary person like me need not be in the business of real estate to browse through a niche search search engine dedicated for real estate.

Trulia is my choice today.
Use this website to buy and sell real estate properties.

Then there is Trulia Voices, a place to ask questions on real estate and find them answered in 20 minutes-now that I would call as a real participation.

"What are the tax implications of buying real estate in California?"- is asked by Alameda just hours ago and it was answered by Chuck and Nancy as below:
"Property taxes are approximately assessed at .0121 X purchase price. City and county transfer taxes are added at the close of a transaction and vary by area."

I think the person who posed the question would not have found the answer satisfying and would have said so.

Reliance rents movie DVDs.

In about 50 years from now, I think Reliance Industries will own the entire India. I won't be surprised when India is renamed 'Relindia' (smile).

Through my good friend Subhash, I came to know that Reliance Retail has entered our home directly. With their movie rental service, they have just become near inevitable to every Indian living in big cities.

Their new web site through which they rent out movie DVDs is Big Flicks. The surprising element is the very low monthly rental of Rs.250/- only.

No late fees because no due dates condition. They deliver at doorstep and pick from where they dropped it.

Apart from English, all regional languages movies are also available.

The website is slow and the search facility can provide more options.

Hope in a jar?

Where is the hope for smooth and shiny skin. It is stuffed in a beautiful jar by Sephora.com and displayed it for sale in Amazon.com

News about Yahoo India.

I northern India, aloo (potato) is the staple food. In everything they cook, aloo will be present. So, it is very apt that a news site about India carries the name Aloo.

I found about Aloo Techie in a Google ad.(why?) Hmm.. a very interesting website with read worthy news. For a change, I liked a news site that doesn't contain news in 'Hinglish'-Hindi written in English letter. One more relief is the absense of news about Aishwarya and Abhishek Bacchan.

Now, the first story that I read was about Yahoo India. Indian corporates who are interested to tap the Yahoo network for their advertisement requirements should contact Publicitas Digital.

"Yahoo India has appointed Publicitas Digital as its sales representative in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala and Gujarat where Publicitas will sell advertising on the Yahoo network.

Their job board is pretty attractive with all those googd looking incons of Google, Yahoo and AOL, etc.

Earn your degree online.

Clearly a case of wrong preconceived notion is that online education makes one more introvert-true or false?

My answer is ‘false’. This concept arises based on a premise that going to college helps one to become more social. I will not agree to this point. I have been in the teaching profession for the past 13 years and I know what I am talking about.

While I am not a strong advocate of online education, I also don’t discourage people who opt for it. There are exceptional online institutions in the world that cater to every type of students. The clear example is the Capella University, the fully accredited online university that has been recently chosen as a finalist for a Minnesota Tekne Award.

I would recommend parents to browse the various courses offered at Capella University before deciding to look beyond it.

Capella currently offers 101 graduate and undergraduate specializations and 15 certificate programs. The online university currently serves nearly 20,000 students from all 50 states and 56 countries.

Blog posting goes mobile.

Yes, I confess that I am not a good typist. I type by using a single finger. How I can imagine posting a blog using my mobile phone? I think I will require a minimum of two hours to post a 100 worded article.

But, of late, mobile posting is becoming increasingly popular. I wonder how people are able to manage it!

I read today that technology is further advanced in this category. For example, Utterz enables you to post text, voice and video content directly on to your blog from your mobile.

Do you who is behind this great service. Bessie the creative force behind Utterz and as an experienced product developer, she is outstanding in her field. She was also the inspiration behind Utterz.

First of all, the service is free and people outside the U.S. can also use it.

Brilliant marketing idea through a napkin.

Will it be a billion webmasters and blog masters struggling to get word out there about their website or blog at any given point of time?

I think my guess would be very conservative. Getting word out there is the prime objective of webmasters or blog masters whether they are engaged in a business or not. To achieve their goal, they all come out the strange and brilliant ideas.

The latest Internet marketing as well as offline marketing idea that caught my attention was the Napkin idea.

We are provided disposable napkins in bars, restaurants and airplanes. They all carry mostly the logo and the name of the establishment that provides them.

In the places mentioned above, people are totally relaxed and in good mood. They also tend to notice everything in their surroundings at such times. Capitalizing on this peoples' state of mind High Definition Napkins or Nap Ads that carry an ad campaign, are placed directly in front
targeted audience.

If you happen to know a bar owner or two, please ask them to visit this blog post because they are offered free napkins that are sure to deplete their liquor inventory and increase their business. (smile)

Did you try this?

Before buying a book on stock market investing or a baby product, surely we all would like to know if anyone has tried that and if so, what is their opinion on the product.

But where to ask such questions? On news papers, web forums or any shopping related web site?
Here is a solution for all of us. Go to Try This.

TryThis is the perfect place to get recommendations, feedbacks and opinions on what to buy, where to go and whom to ask. It is a community based recommendation site. When you ask a question, the community gives you suggestions.

Here are a few questions that will give you an indication about what to ask:

*This question is asked by me.
"Social bookmarking sites-do they follow or not?
I wan to to know whether all the social bookmarking websites like Reddit, Delicious follow links or not. "

I am reproducing the answer I got for my question.
"To be completely sure you'd have to analyze the source code of the html to see if it is tagged with "no follow." Here is a list of sites that DO NOT USE "no follow".

This website is quite useful to me and I hope it can be to you too.

However, their facility is not very effective.

Buy Tata Steel or sell?

I could not understand the difference of opinion among the stock market analysts.
One expert says that Tata Steel should be bought less than Rs.700 level and one says it is still a good buy at this rate of Rs. 830.00

I think it is still a good buy at this rate but what Srivatsan Srinivasan from Madras says also make sense to me. He says in his blog that at the current rate, "the stock trades at around 12 times it's fully diluted FY08E EPS of Rs. 68".

News papers report that Tata Steel is undertaking some major expansions and that may push up its price shortly. I usually don't speculate on the market. I take long term position.

My question:
Is it adviasbale to take positions at this level or do I have to wait?

Get discounted Disney World tickets.

Naturally, Orlando will be filled up to the brim for nearly two weeks starting from 26^th Dec. Being the most preferred holiday destination in the world, Disney world attracts people of all ages not only during holidays but through out the year.

Orlando is one place where money cannot buy time. Disney World Tickets can be costly when they are bought on the spot. Also, there will be serpentine queues in front of the ticket counters.

You may be having a wallet stuffed with dollars but that cannot get you ahead in the queue. Orlandofuntickets.com is the ultimate source for discount tickets for Disney World and all Orlando theme parks, dinner shows and attractions.

Paymate goes abroad.

Probably, many Indians are not yet aware of various payment gateways that accept payments for a load of utilities that include, mobile phone bills, dish antenna bills, credit card bills and so on.

Of the several payment gateways, Easy Bill is the most popular and widely accepted mode. What is attractive with Easy Bill is the number of outlets opened that has Easy Bill facility.

Today, I was reading Mashable and he has mentioned about another Indian based payment gateway called Pay Mate. I immediately paid a visit and this is what they say about themselves:

"PayMate is the first of its kind mobile payment service in India, which helps transform your phone into a wallet. So, now you can shop online, buy movie & airline tickets, send flowers & gifts, pay your bills, subscribe to newspapers and magazines, pay for goods at your favourite restaurant and retail store, using your mobile phone.".

But Pay mate is currently partnering with only one bank (Corporation Bank)whose credit and debit cards can be used with Pay mate.

Quoting Mashable:

"India-based PayMate, a mobile payments company, is making its way to America."

Why jewelers prefer Monex silver bars?

Being a frequent visitor to jewelry shops, I have created a few favorites for individual products. I visit a particular jewelry shop for gold ornaments and I go to another shop for silver bars. The reason for my favoritism is mainly based on how the products are displayed though I have no doubt about the quality of the products they sell.

The shop that I visit for buying silver bars and silver coins is located on a very busy shopping area known for several jewelry shops. These shops are always crowded.

The silver bars are very neatly and attractively stacked. While most of the 100 ounce silver bars occupy the upper part of the show cases, the large 1000 ounce silver bars are stacked beneath them. This particular shop owner told me once that he buys the silver bars from Monex because they are very easy to stack.

Monex silver bars are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, Johnson-Matthey, and Engelhard. These bars are produced either by an extrusion process, or by a free pour method. Bars produced by an extrusion process are exactly the same size, making them ideal for stacking and storage in a safety deposit box.

Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository.
