10Oct09 A Look At OpenACircle

Today I spent some time trying out a neat online software called OpenACircle and thought I would review it here for any interested readers. The product is geared toward business professionals and provides tools for them to collaborate online with ease by providing a variety of easy to use applications, such as shared calendars, video chat, the ability to share desktops, share files and more. Users are able to open a circle, where their business associates can then join them to collaborate and take advantage of all of the features offered by OpenACircle. I found the software to be very user friendly and intuitive, so it could easily be used by businesses in all sectors, and by folks with varying levels of web and PC proficiency. Also, while OpenACircle is primarily geared toward businesses it could also be used by educational groups who want to work together remotely, as well as clubs and other groups that would benefit from being able to share information and work collectively online.

If you or your company is interested in signing up for the services provided by OpenACircle, I encourage you to  take advantage of the free registration by signing up at the OpenACircle homepage, which is located at Openacircle.com. You can then try out the software, and consider one of their three pricing models. There is the basic (free) version, which is in itself quite complete but provides for less storage capacity and allows for fewer users and collaboration circles than the other models. There are also premium and pro packages, which both provide for more storage, users and collaboration circles, with the pro being the larger of those packages. Both packages are extremely reasonably priced for what OpenACircle offers, with the Premium package priced at 9.95 monthly and the Pro packaged at 29.95 monthly.

10Oct09 Online Personal Information Protection

When online, consumers are used to providing their personal information for various payments and other transactions. Although identity theft, credit card fraud and phishing, could be prevented if personal information was not transmitted at all, this is unrealistic. Web users are accustomed to paying bills, shopping, and signing up to receive information through the web and, with the right  safety measures, this can be achieved securely.

There is a product called Shop Shield that is able to achieve just that. This application utilizes a Secure Payment Agent (SPA), a method of protecting personal information while maintaining complete anonymity during online transactions. Kemesa (Keeps Me Safe), the company behind this application, offers the following product features:

- Preventing the user’s information from being transmitted unless requested by the user

- Replacing the name, user name, password, email address, and billing information with anonymous data that turns out to be useless and untraceable once the transaction is over. If you return to the same sites in the future, the application can enter your encrypted information automatically.

- Phishing protections during logging-in and emailing

- Spam blocking through the use of anonymous email addresses for each site

- If your peronal data is removed from the Shop Shield data system, it becomes useless

- The application can be used at essentially all shopping sites

- The application can be used from any place or Internet-enabled device, whether it is a computer or mobile gadget

The application uses Department of Defense security measures in addition to exceeding the requirements of the federal banking standards. The sensitive information is encrypted, fragmented into unreadable segments, and then stored on multiple autonomous networks.  Consequently, if the information gets stolen it would be gibberish.

The application is currently available through a 60 day free trial promotion at no charge or obligation. There is also an option to get the application free forever if you pay for your online purchases with a checking account. Head on over to the Shopshield.net website and check out its Secure Online Payment and transaction application.

It is highly important for the products on the site to be of large variety and from well established brands, since you shouldn’t compromise on the durability of what you wear. The prices should also be affordable, since consumers are now more frequently than before looking for discounts.Look for brands made by North Face, Suunto , Arcteryx Jackets and others.

8Oct09 Islamic Forex Trading

Forex trading has gained major acceptance and overtaken the traditional stock markets in its trading volume. Forex is a global currency market, but for many years people in the Islamic world could not participate in Forex trading. As a result, Islamic Forex Trading has been established. The main feature of an Islamic Forex account is that the interest payment on account balances is waived. This is because, according to the Islamic faith, any business transactions, in which a party has to pay or receive some interest from another party, is not allowed.

When wishing to trade with an Islamic Forex account, look for an online Forex trading provider that takes advantage of IT systems that have the latest hardware and software to ensure a stress-free and intuitive user experience. In addition, setting up an account should ideally take no more than 5 minutes to complete. It is also important for a good Forex trading provider to have a solid support team, comprised of knowledgeable and multi-lingual representatives.

Forex traders offer Islamic Forex accounts to their clients and charge a flat fee for these services. Notably, a person interested in Islamic Forex, should take the time to learn all they need to know to adhere to the rules of these types of accounts and gain the most value from them.

7Oct09 Send Rose Flowers to Your Loved Ones

My girlfriend is so lovely and I often like to send her a rose bouquet on a regular basis. I have relied on 1800Flowers.com from the beginning and they have always provided great products. You might wonder how come I haven’t just gone to the local flower shop, and the answer is because my line of work requires frequent overseas travel.

I am what people would consider a hopeless romantic, and my girlfriend loves it. Ever since the first day I met her, it’s been a wonderful friendship. From what she told me, her face lights up every time she receives the bouquet, even though she had received dozens upon dozens of them from me over the years. This type of gift is undoubtedly her favorite, and they help her think of me every time she looks at them. I enjoy making her happy with flowers and know that this relationship will last forever.
