Make money with eBay motors (an ebook review)
February 14, 2008
Thanks to my good friend Steve Lindhorst from genuine seller, I gave eBay motors another chance for car sales.
Steve’s latest ebook (Showroom Secrets) explain in details how to use your eBay selling skills to make full time living selling cars. The ebook covers every thing from learning how to sell cars, to the preparations for getting deals with car dealers in your local area.
Steve is a former eBay University instructor with an excellent experience with cars and car dealers, As you read the ebook, you will go through details for everything you need to know to start listing dealer vehicles, and making money.
Steve said about the ebook: ” The material is designed for people who know how to use eBay, but cannot afford to lay out hundreds or thousands of dollars for inventory to resell. After reading the book a person with solid eBay skills could approach vehicle dealerships in their area and begin a service business with no money upfront. Without the information in the book, there’s a good chance of getting shot down right out of the gate.”

Hot or Not sold for $20 Millions
February 12, 2008
HotOrNot.com was just sold for a reported $20 Millions to Avid Life Media. Well, big congratulations to the founders Jim and James.
As you might know now, I have been a member for a couple of years now and I loved how was the site so open since the start and the freedom we had as members.
In the beginning the site was all about rating people based on their looks. Then they have implemented a dating method that was different than any other dating service site.
And I have to say that they kept it clean of any pornographic images, by manually moderating the site (Funny it was James parents who took out the bad pictures).
Now with the explosion of the site’s application on FaceBook and so many highly trafficked social networking sites, and after reporting about $5 Million a year revenue from their site, I think that another $20 Million to top that is a great deal.
I know and hope that Jim and James will have another great idea to come up with. But for now, I wish them great luck and hope they don’t spend it all in one place

Yahoo! Live goes “Live”: A video service
February 8, 2008
Yahoo uncovers an experimental live video product last night.
A live streaming video service and was testing it with Yahoo! employees. The service (Yahoo! Live) enables anyone with a Web camera to create their own live video stream (similar to the competing sites: BlogTV, Mogulus, UStream.tv and Justin.tv) and broadcast, lifecast or webcast till their hearts are content.
The new service will allow anyone to text message in a chat box anybody who is streaming live, and of course you can embed videos from around the web.
It gets even better, Yahoo has also created an API for developers and has made a preview of the API and its embeddable components, and made a sample app and tutorial available as well.
Visit: http://live.yahoo.com or get the updates from: Yliveblog
Only problem so far is there is no way to see your past recordings, which would make the service useless for creating an online show, like so many have done on uStream.
I am sure that Yahoo will develop such thing in the near future. I also got some errors when using the site however, over all it looks great and it’s optimized for fast loading.
