Earn Extra Income Online

Did I just cheat a few companies their money this holiday season?

1) I ordered 2 pairs of ear phones from Office Depot online. One worked, the other didn’t. I then sent in a complaint and the company gave me a full refund for both and I could keep them. Why wouldn’t they want these returned?

2) I bought a study guide manual from Amazon LLC and the book didn’t arrive at the scheduled delivery date. They also confused me with two different tracking information. I complained and then they resent ANOTHER one with One-Day Shipping Air for free. When I went to check my mailbox, I received both the original and the newly resent books. So basically, I paid $30 for the original and got another one for free (Which I can resell on Craigslist or something). Amazon doesn’t know the original arrived because the tracking information for the original still states “In Transit” in NV and WA, respectively.

3) I ordered 2 pairs of earphones from SkullCandy on eBay and they gave me the wrong colors that I originally wanted (Not that I care anyways). I complained….and they offered two options: 1) A full refund or 2) Reshipping two additional earphones with the correct colors. I can keep the ones that I currently have. Like Office Depot, why would they not want these returned to them? Did I just get a good deal too? I bought the two pairs of SkullCandies for $4.44 and they are usually $15 worth. If I get a full refund, it would only amount to $10. If I request to have new ones shipped, the value would be $30 (and can resell them for slightly less than $15 each). I picked the latter.

I feel like I jipped a few companies here and there this holiday season, basically.

What do you guys think? Any stories like this?

If you could spend 1000$ to promote a new web20 company-private social network, how would you spend it?

Like all new web20 sites, we need the subscribers for our new RadioCorridor site. RadioCorridor is an online community, restricted to people working in the same company. So we need to have a least one or two people in each company to spread it.

We thought long and hard how to do that. Several ideas were raised:

- pay 5 professional bloggers,
- pay 10 freelancers on guru or elance and have them promote us,
- pay 20 people to bombard several blogs,
- pay 1000 people on amazon’s mechanical turk to subscribe,
- pay a zillion people a part in the profit we’ll make from the companies they subscribe.

If you have done this kind of thing or you know what works and what doesn’t please let us know.

Thank you for your time.

Where can I buy an iPhone 2G online? (read description)?

I want to purchase an iPhone 2G online (2007) and I can’t use eBay or amazon, don’t ask why haha. I have also tired craigslist and that didn’t work. I already have an iPhone 3GS at the moment I just want to own the original iPhone so it would be even better if anyone knew of a website that sells them for a low price.

Thanks for any answers,
Ryan

OUTRAGE Everything we do online will be hurt if Congress passes a radical law?

do you think this is mule fritters? Internet providers like AT&T are lobbying Congress hard to gut Network Neutrality–the Internet’s First Amendment and the key to Internet freedom. Net Neutrality prevents AT&T from choosing which websites open most easily for you based on which site pays AT&T more. BarnesandNoble.com doesn’t have to outbid Amazon for the right to work properly on your computer.
If Net Neutrality is gutted, many sites–including Google, eBay, and iTunes–must either pay protection money to companies like AT&T or risk having their websites process slowly. That why these high-tech pioneers, plus diverse groups ranging from MoveOn to Gun Owners of America, are opposing Congress’ effort to gut Internet freedom.
You can do your part today–can you sign this petition telling your member of Congress to preserve Internet freedom? Click here:

What do you think?
The problem is that WHOMEVER pays the MOST will get the coveted slots.. inorder to pay for the widgets, because of the increase in blood money payments the price of your widgets will have to go up.. NOBODY wants over priced widgets so NO ONE will buy them..
why don’t they do something constructive like attacking spammers who no matter how many filters you use STILL manage to circumvent ALL attempts to stop them and filter them out…really if I didn’t buy into penisenlargment the first 5000 spams WHY do they think the NEXT 5000 mispelled peckerenlargement ads are going to change my mind?.. They should be leveying a $500,000 fine to the spammers..and what about that snailbox… I saved that for a week, wieghed it and guess how much paper garbage?? 53 pounds!..Wasted paper, wasted space and wasted resouces!. I never even look at them AT ALL except to toss them into the shredder
no one seems to get this.. if your favorite pages aren’t able to pay billions to at&t you WILL have a difficult time finding and or loading it. Right now the playing field is equal for ALL..it won’t be if this passes.. “legalized unfair business practices” is EXACTLY what it is
