TwitterGuru - A Unique Product Bidding / Promotion Tool On Twitter
2009-06-04 11:06:00 By Yash Gandhi An IT firm called hexolabs has launched its new project called twitguru. The site aims to act as a platform to launch products or do prelaunch promotional activities(giving away gift coupons or festive discounts) for anything sellable. Its very simple, visit the site, bid a price for the product displayed, update your tweet as: “@twit_guru I guess $(price) for #(productname)” followed by any message. Your bid gets updated with twitguru. Closest bid takes the product for free. This actually seems a great advertising strategy and both parties involved(twitter and twitguru) are sure to earn big bucks out of this venture. Twitguru uses simple tools of advertising through word of mouth. A tweet by any user will make his followers to try it and the game angle instils a desire to go ahead. Also it isn’t the company sending mails and spamming accounts. Its simply a user twitting and its totally the twitterers wish to play or not. Hexolabs claims to have s...

Bidding and buying
2008-10-20 11:19:00 I recently became a big fan of buying over the Internet. Its quite weird because i could never understand why anyone would want to buy things online when you can go to a shop and buy it.Now i know! Although nothing could ever replace browsing around shops, the high you get when the postman comes is kind of insane!As soon as i get my package i start ripping it open, i don't even really care whats inside its just nice to get something!I usually buy on Ebay just because i am in Europe at the moment and its easier but a great option for South Africans is Bid or Buy!I know most people are still scared of paying before they have something in hand but i must say these days it is very safe, especially if you go into it with your eyes wide open!On Bid or Buy just like most other Auction sites users get ratings and that's how you can see what is safe to bid on or buy and what is not.Never ever bid on high prices items when a seller has no ratingsDon't bid on something when the seller has a...

Has The Bidding for Teixeira Already Begun?
2008-10-18 22:00:00 (take my blog post article title with a grain of salt -- teams officially cannot talk with free agents until after the World Series...)Well, it looks like Steinbrenner II -- Hank Steinbrenner -- has once again opened up his mouth and announced the Yankees grand plan to get back into the playoffs. Aside from the obvious targets for their desire -- A.J. Burnett, C.C. Sabathia, and Derek Lowe -- they want one other big name ticket item for their trophy case.Mark Teixiera.Needless to say, there's no doubt that they were going after the Maryland first baseman, considering they have millions upon millions coming off their books and Giambi will not most likely be re-signed.From CNNSI.com: The Yankees' interest in Teixeira seems to make clear that longtime Yankee Jason Giambi will not be brought back. Even if the Yankees fail to sign Teixeira, they have determined they want to upgrade their defense at first base. The Angels, Orioles and perhaps the Giants and Mariners are among teams expe...

BRITNEY SPEARS BIDDING ON HER OWN SEX TAPE
2008-10-02 01:52:00 Britney Spears is set to bid for her own sex tape. Ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, 35, is said to be touting the alleged X-rated footage - which reportedly features a naked Britney wearing a pink wig and engaged in various sex acts - for $10 million to several adult websites. One porn site has already offered him that amount. Just when things were looking up for Britney, her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib leaks to the press that he's been holding a sex tape the two allegedly made while on vacation in Mexico. He's supposedly 'waiting for bids'. What a classy guy.The ?Womanizer? singer is reportedly desperate to get hold of the tape, and is prepared to pay ?whatever it costs? to protect her reputation and keep the tape out of the public eye. A source told Britain?s Daily Star newspaper: ?Britney?s lawyers have been working overtime. They?ve been told to do whatever it takes to stop the video making it onto the internet.? However, a source close to Britney has denied the sex tape exists ou...

Goldman Sachs and Candover Patners Bidding Against Halliburton
2008-05-24 14:59:00 Halliburton is looking to acquire drilling equipment maker Expro for $3.36 billion; however, now Candover Partners and Goldman Sachs have countered with a bid of their own for $3.4 billion. Although, the offer is only slightly higher then Halliburton's offer, it may strike a bidding war. Analysts speculate that Haliburton's offer holds more merit, as Haliburton is much more likely to keep the company in long run as opposed to investment firms reselling the company shortly afterwards.
Microsoft not bidding to buy Yahoo - CEO Ballmer
2008-05-22 18:33:00 Microsoft Corp is not looking to bid to buy all of Yahoo Inc. but is in talks about other types of deals with the U.S. No. 2 search engine, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said on Wednesday.?We are not bidding to buy Yahoo,? Ballmer said at the launch of Microsoft's new research and development centre in Israel.?Yet, we are trying to have discussions about deals with Yahoo that might create value, but not a whole acquisition of the company,? he said without elaborating further.Earlier this month, Microsoft walked away from a proposal to acquire Yahoo for $47.5-billion, or $33 per share, after Yahoo rebuffed the offer, saying it would only settle for $37 a share.Microsoft has now made an alternative offer, proposing to buy Yahoo's search business and take a minority stake in the Web firm, a person familiar with the discussions told Reuters this week.Yahoo on Sunday confirmed with Microsoft that it was not interested in pursuing an acquisition of all of the company but it remained open ...

Secrets of Power Bidding
2008-04-21 13:46:00 The secret of power-bidding Bidding at a foreclosed real estate auction is not for the faint-hearted – but there are potentially fantastic profits to be made for those who go about this task in an organized and rational way. On the downside, you may not have been able to inspect the property and it certainly won’t come with a warranty but your mental guide price can be more than a shot in the dark, if you’ve done your homework. Here are some tips for success in the real estate auction game: First, it helps if you’ve already got some track record in real estate investment and you know the market place. It’s good if the house you’re bidding on is in a neighborhood that you know or have studied in some depth. Attend local open houses to get a better feel for the market and talk ‘innocently’ to the realtors about their views either on the locale or even the specific house you’re interested in. Second, the first auction you go to should definitely not be...
Freelance Bidding Sites vs. Freelance Job Sites
2008-04-21 00:00:00 This is a post that I've had in mind for awhile but wasn't sure I should post. But, in the interest of sharing useful information and helping other freelance writers, I feel the need to write it. Let me preface by saying that I don't mean any disrespect to any one site, nor do I think that there's anything wrong with any site or its intentions.There are those who visit freelance writing sites that post jobs regularly and apply to the many jobs that are listed. There are several interesting jobs sites that post jobs daily or every few days. I have heard from several people that they get most of their clients from those sites. I also hear that there are people who have gotten lucrative gigs from them. However, that has not been my experience and I don't think it's the norm. I believe that the people like me who have had nothing but bad luck with them are afraid to say anything because it will make them look like a loser. Well, so maybe I'm a loser, but here's why I don't see ...
Sadr, doing Iran’s bidding, but for how long?
2008-04-20 20:13:00 Karl at Protein Wisdom: With the Iraqi Army defeating Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army in Basra, the L.A. Times has moved on to tell its readers how terrible things might get in Najaf. Buried in the middle of the piece, however, is a bit about the battle for Basra: This time, the grand ayatollahs have declined to aid the incendiary cleric. Three days into the Basra campaign, Grand Ayatollah Najafi issued a fatwa, or religious opinion or edict, that declared the Iraqi government as the only force in the country with the right to bear arms. His son, Sheik Ali Najafi, left little doubt that the clergy had backed the Iraqi army operations. “We see this as a positive improvement. . . . The people want the government to control the streets and the law to be enforced. No other groups,” he said, sitting in his study, furnished with cushions, a laptop and a clock bearing his father’s portrait. Their stance is a gamble. An influential cleric who is knowledgeable about talks between the S...

Cleveland Bidding for PyCon 2010
2008-04-10 00:00:00 Take a look over at Dave Stanek's post about hosting PyCon in 2010. I think it's a phenomenal idea. Cleveland is an inexpensive place to host a conference with the big city attractions that prevent boredom. I can personally attest to the fun-factor here as it's part of the reason I chose to stay. Cleveland also has a good sized python community as well as pretty heavy python use in the tech companies. In short, Cleveland loves python and we think Pythonites will love Cleveland, too.

Bidding War Basics For Buyers
2008-04-07 04:22:00 By Viviane KerteszWhen you’ve found that perfect little house you'd like to call your home, the last thing you want is to have to compete with other potential buyers. But bidding wars—especially in hot real estate markets and urban centres—are more of a reality now than ever. So what do you need to know to stand the best chance at signing on the dotted “sold” line? Winning a bidding war is always a roll of the dice, but read on for the real deal on how to prepare before entering the multiple-bid realty trenches. 1. LOAN LOGICGet pre-approved for a mortgage so you know the maximal financing available to you. By pre-qualifying for a loan, you’ll not only be aware of your offer’s ultimate ceiling, but you’ll shop around—and bid—accordingly. Speak with a broker to evaluate your options before you settle. A thumbs-up from the bank, along with agreeing to put down the biggest deposit or downpayment you can afford, can also help establish to sellers that you’re serio...

eBay Explained: Shill Bidding
2008-03-28 14:43:00 Shill Bidding is a term you may not be familiar with if your new to eBay. Mostly used by newer eBayers who think they will not be caught, Shill Bidding is the term used when you bid on your own item - against other genuine bidders to increase the end auction price.Simply by creating a second eBay identity in a different address you can easily bid on your own item with no questions asked. You can push the price higher and create the impression there's a lot more interest in your item.So, why does eBay and other auction sites frown so highly on shill bidding?Well firstly it's unfair on genuine bidders who are interested in the items. Secondly & more importantly in most states it's illegal and there have been many high profile cases of users successfully prosecuted for shill bidding. It amounts to fraud.Many savy eBayers can spot shill bidding easily, especially where the auction in not private. A simple search of bidders & sellers activity will show patterns will show suspi...
