Jumo-a social network for social causes.

When I wrote a few years ago that online social network is going to swallow the whole world, I did not realize it is going to be a reality too soon.

Do you remember Chris Hughes, the co-founder of Facebook? Well, he has launched a social network for a noble cause. It aims to bring together like minded people who wish to see a major positive in the world.

Already, individuals and several charity and social service organizations are actively involved in the new social network called Jumo.

How does Jumo work?
Like all the social networking site, you can sign up for free but the only difference with Jumo is, you should have a Facebook account to join.

There are categories that include Education, Health, Poverty, etc. and you choose to involve in the issues of any category while signing up. You can also several organizations that show interest in the categories of your interest.

Drive away your fear by reading courageous stories.

People of my age (I am 51) were brought up differently from the current generation including my son.

We were told countless stories of courage both in real life and in legendary stories. In schools too, our teachers take time to instill morale and courage by recounting real life courageous actions by youth and old people.

Whenever I read Reader's Digest, the first article I read is the 'drama in real life.'

It is still not too late for the present generation mothers and dads to tell inspirational stories to their children. To assist them, here is a website http://fearlessstories.com/

It is a a free online magazine that compiled and published various stories from individuals who have survived extreme situations to encourage people going through tough times.

You can view the stories in your browser or download them on to your PC to read later.

The website is beautiful, clutter less and easy to navigate.

Best site to download free e-books.

I stumbled on to this great resource for free e-books. Actually, my son was searching for a few free tutorials on java script developing for Government sites.

In order to quickly get the desired results, I gave him a few rare and useful search tips. That got him first to visit http://www.freebookspot.me/.

I don't whether he was able to find what he wanted but I got myself a few game developing books that I have been looking for but did not put in serious effort to search them.

http://www.freebookspot.me/ has got thousnads of free e-books on scientific, engineering, programming, fiction and many other books. You don't need to create an account to download free e-books.

All the e-books are categorized hundred every possible topic that runs into two pages.

Another super bonus I got was an e-book on employing your intuitions in love matters.

Don’t buy gold coins!

Hey, wait! Don’t jump to conclusion yet. If you are going to buy gold coins for the sake of parking your money safely and temporarily, then, it is perfectly all right to buy gold coins.

However, if you want to invest in bullion so that you sell for profit later, then, I would suggest you buy gold bars instead of coins. Traditionally, gold bars commend better respect in the bullion buyers’ market. This is my personal experience.

If you are buying gold purely for the sake of pride and security, then, coins are the best choice. I advise you to buy American Eagles and Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins. Personally speaking, they are more beautiful than any other gold coins.

Of course, opinion differs. Nevertheless, I am not open to defend my choice of gold coins.

Health news and tips site.

Just now I was telling my husband that I stopped writing about health news. If I have to do that, I will have to write about sickness and that, I don't want to do it.

This world has got more than enough knowledge of diseases.

But I thought I have to a duty here-to review web sites. So, here is a web site that is full of heath news and not disease news I hope.

Health Scout is filled with consumer health news, information and tips. What I generally don't like about health related news sites is the never ending contradictions. What is given or said as good one day may be refuted a few months later giving credit to researchers.

Sure, the site can be pretty useful but, I will stay away from Health Scout. Thanks, but no thanks!

The e-book search engine to compare ebook prices.

Have you ever thought why you are able to compare physical books only and not e-books? Why search engines don't search e-books online malls or other websites that sell exclusively e-books.

I won't mind if a search engine crawls every website that sells:
* e-books
* PLR articles packs
* MRR products

I was directed to leatherbound.me that searches for e-books only. If you click on the search results individually, you can see their prices on different outlets that include Kindle, Nook and iBook Store.
















Look at the screenshot below after I clicked on one of the e-books shown in the search result. Also note the Tweet button at the end of the page for quick social media sharing.
