Is This A Funny or Sad Real Estate Video? - 12/30/11 10:18 AM
I'm not often lost for words but I am having watched this video from "The B Squad". Clearly it's supposed to be funny in the same vein as pioneering sitcoms like "The Office" where we are made to feel uncomfortable as we laugh. I lost count of the number of cringe worthy moments especially towards the end. Never let it be said that sarcasm is un-American. The people behind The B Squad describe themselves as "wicked smarter than you". I'm not smart enough to work out what blog category to put this in as it could fit in several; 'Marketing Tips', … (7 comments)

A new Google toolbar helps you navigate quickly between products making them more easily accessible.

Follr allows people I connect with to get a far better picture of who I am but there are other ways to achieve that. We've highlighted creative and unusual business cards before (see: 10 Unusual Business Cards) and here are some more courtesy of Oddee.

Phishing (pronounced 'fishing') continues to be a problem and you need to protect yourself from it. Wikipedia describes phishing as: "the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication." Basically it's a fraudulent email from a thief and their objective is to rip you off. I've written about this before (see: "The Latest Facebook Email Spam Scam" and "How To Identify A Phishing Email") but with the problem persisting here is more advice direct from Google: … (4 comments)
