Share The Bar
So I received this to day from a contact on twitter and what to know what you think? New face of advertising? Can this work? Actually get paid to watch commercials that I pick? Hmm, it is just crazy enough to be conceivable. Give it a try, it doesn't cost you a penny.....or wait to see what I report with my findings. As I said what the heck... Worst case scenario it doesn't pay me, but best case it pays me the $ 40, 000 per month that the video claims is very achievable. Even if the video is only 10% right and I receive a check for $4,000 a month, I will take it!

I found this fascinating quote today:
The only thoughts I have are to take a few minutes the next time you log into any website that requires it, including your email, and look at the account settings with particular regard for security settings. (Selfishly, I want you to back your data up, too. See Backupify.com, a company I’m involved with that backs up your Web 2.0 data.) Read the fine print, check the right boxes and set things up to share what you’re comfortable sharing. Think of this for your company or brand as well. While you have to be careful – participating fully in these networks often requires a minimal level of openness – you need to make sure you aren’t lulled into a false sense of security.socialmediaexplorer.com, The Dangerous Waters Ahead, Nov 2009
