Situation becomes worse in Australia

Friday, April 21st, 2006

Citizens of Australia are scared of filing bankruptcy. The price of oil has crossed the level already. Oil is such an important commodity that controls the price of almost everything. With the existing amount of debt and the heightened rate of interest for mortgage, people are anticipating a hardship. But what is the solution?

The number of bankruptcy suits has started to increase already. Paul Leroy, a partner with chartered accountants Hall Chadwick is of opinion that people with low income group might fall behind with mortgage payments in near future. A similar trend is not impossible in the corporate world even.

Where will we end up ???

Possible reasons behind Gas Price Hike

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

Dr. Satyajit Ghosh, professor of Economics at the University of Scranton has been studying the influencing factors of Gas price. He has mentioned three crucial points that are controlling the cost of Gas and oil nowadays.

1. Increasing demand of Gas from the Asian countries, like India and China.

2. The present situation of the world and what the industry anticipates about the Oils and Gas market. Obviously he pointed out the instability of Middle East here.

3. The third factor is the use of ETHANOL instead of MTBE as an additive in the oil in USA. ETHANOL is more costly, but oil refineries have been instructed to use it in place of MTBE for the sake of pollution control.

Then there are state and federal taxes. However, the economist has forecast that Gas price might go down a little once all the refineries switch over from MTBE to ETHANOL.

If they can then why dont we

There are websites where people post their feedback on different companies, services and products. If those sites can publish negative feedbacks, then why don’t we?

http://www.my3cents.com/ is such a site that maintains a Company Review Catalogue. Needless to say there are positive and negative comments as well.

IMO, this type of feedbacks could help business houses to identify where exactly they are lacking. They can also understand how to satisfy customers in future. So instead of asking for removal of such posts they should listen to what people are saying. Hence this is a golden opportunity for Cashtoday/Heathmill, Riscuity, Wilshire Credit Corporation and many more to restructure their business and come up with a superior corporate house in their respective fields.

Obviously I’m talking about legitimate companies that want to do business indeed. People intended to continue with bad practices, will suppress the voice raised against them invariably.

Lenders are snatching Freedom of Speech

Friday, April 14th, 2006

Now lenders will dictate us how we should speak? What a shady attitude. America is an independent country and the citizens cannot express their thoughts. Where are you going folks?

Cash Today/Heathmill has sent a legal writ to Debt Consolidation Care because they helped consumers raise their voice against what is unlawful. Don’t you think this is a sentence to the Debt Consolidation Care Community stating – keep your mouth shut and let us continue with insincere business.

Interviews of community members have already revealed lots of unethical protocols of their business. Debt Consolidation Care Community has shown the courage to disclose their true color. How are they doing business even after charging as high as 1000% interest rate?

Oh, let me write it down before the other avatar yells at more people. This is a lender that offers payday loans. Payday loan industry has already been put under a big question mark. But the company I am talking about is an item indeed. They continuously monitor our forum. When anyone raises their voice against them, they try to locate the person and give them a call. Needless to say, all types of threats are started then. What a professionalism!!

Dont copy, say it in your own words

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Internet is like a mine of information. There are lots and lots of sites with millions of web pages, I know it look like galaxy of stars. Now with the advent of blogs it is easier to have a personal page on the web, like my own space ship through which I can land on moon.

Blogs are like personal journals where you can share your own thoughts. People can leave comments on other blogs. More the interaction higher is the popularity of your blog. More popular your blog higher is the $$ earned from Adsense. But people often do a mistake while popularizing own blog. They copy content from other sites and paste it in their blog, especially when they found something spicy.

This can drive huge traffic to your page and you can earn some revenue if visitors click on the Adsense, but Google the great does not like duplicate content. They consider it as spamming and punish the web page. So the chances of earning revenue go in vain.

Then can’t we blog on important and urgent topics that has been discussed already somewhere else?

-Yes we can. We can take the theme, but we have to write it on our own just to make it ‘My Content’.

Besides, few sites are there that maintain a strict copyright policy. If they catch one using their content, they will charge a huge toll. See what Google says on copying content-

But if we find great jokes, can’t we share it with our forum friends?

-Yes we can. I agree that editing a joke often makes no sense, then we can show our gratitude to the writer, so that no room is left for the thought that I tried to steal the content. People interested in writing love their creations as a girl does her virginity ;)
