    Forums can be a very powerful source of information, advice and contacts if you know how to tap to the rich seam of expertise and experience often found in them - and I'm surprised at just how often people don't know how to maximise the results they get. Whether you're looking for technical advice on using your iphone or due dilgence help on a business you're looking to buy, you can get free help that would cost you hundreds - or thousands - if you approached experts directly.

    Well first off, I got wrapped up in a couple of other projects so I didn't devote as much time as I would like on the site. Still don't have much in the way of a new marketing plan... at least on paper.

    Meanwhile, I found out my file server dumped a number of my files. I spent a great deal of time hammering that out. The gist of it is it looks like most of the providers for this new "cloud" technology don't have the bugs worked out. Meanwhile, if I make any substantial changes, ...
