There has always been one thing missing from my blackberry and that is MSN Messenger.
I have tried every application I could find and although some worked marginally well like the Free MSN Messenger from handango.com most were not worth downloading.
Recently there was some speculation that MSN and Research in Motion had “burried the hatchet” and MSN Messenger will be available for blackberrys sometime in late March. I have not been able to verify this yet although I have seen some posts with regard to the subject on blackberryforums.com.
If this is true I will be one happy BB user!

Ok I have been trying to get removed from this spam list for too long now.
ShopNSaveToday.com must be one of the most ruthless spammers I have met yet. The domain name itself is absolutely terrible which is the earmark of a spammer but they will not remove you from their list.
Their removal process is set up the old fashined way. You must type in (or paste) your email address to be removed. Obviously this is not efficient and they know this. They just figure the more steps it takes to remove yourself the less likely you are going to do it.
“Please allow 5-7 business days for your
e-mail address to be completely removed
from the system. If you do receive e-mail correspondence for this offer from ShopNSaveToday.com after the allotted time, please contact privacy [Email address: privacy #AT# ShopNSaveToday.com - replace #AT# with @ ] with the original e-mail so that we might address the issue immediately.
We maintain a ZERO SPAM POLICY.”
My ass! Zero spam policy? lol

I have been using stumbleupon for a while now and have seen huge traffic spikes however the traffic does not seem to convert very well.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a one day spike of about 1000 unique visitors from stumble however my earnings for that day were pretty much unchanged. This was while trying a stumble exchange.
There are several potential reasons a few of which are:
No one liked my site
The stumblers are imune to ads
The stumblers were stumbling through sites too fast to actually “visit”
The stumble exchange I joined was a waste of time
Getting stumbled is not worth the effort
I was stumbling more to test than anything else so to give stumble a fair shake I compared my pre stumbe exchange stumbles and revenue increase against the traffic I received while being the member of an exchange.
What I noticed was that there was a definite increase in revenue when I was receiving stumbles the old fashioned way aka the way stumbleupon intended their site to work. Conversely the the stumble exchange traffic althouh pretty big in terms of unique visitors was simply using up bandwidth.

This week we finished our free online game site Gametopia.com. Gametopia.com launched on February 9th 2007.
With thousands of free arcade sites we felt it was important to have good “hook” to both generate new memberships and retain our members.
As part of our ongoing promotion we will be giving away prizes to members on a regular basis. During our launch we will be giving away ipod shuffles through free drawings. To be included in the drawings members must simply accumulate 50 Points by playing games.
This is NOT one of those free ipod sites where you need to complete or make a purchase or complete a trial offer in order to win. This IS a legitimate offer to people who play online games. The only requirement is registration on the site which is free and takes about 1 minute.
Since we just launched the odds of winning are extremely high! In fact, right now there are very few members!
So if you like free online games visit Gametopia.com
