Twitter: Follow.Learn.Embrace!
20 Wednesday May 2009
In Dec 2008 I joined Twitter. At first glance I thought what the hell? It’s for people who are so bored with their lives, who have no jobs, looking for jobs or people who hate their jobs.
In Jan 2009 – 2 Followers! I just didn’t get it.
In Feb 2009 - 0 Followers – I thought a Facebook, cheap version-rip-off
In March 2009 - I actually started following the right people. The great Profs, Designers, Entrepreneurs, Change Agents,Programmers, Marketers, Writers and Internet Junkies…
I spent time reading, learning,smiling,crying, laughing and embracing. Embracing the power of social news, social marketing, social change, the social web = social community acceptance and love.
I have learned more in the past 3 months on Twitter than in my 5 years on the Internet.

SmartSwipe seems to be the new, smarter, more secure way to shop online? I say seems to be?
The SmartSwipe (by NetSecure Technologies) is the world’s first truly secure personal credit card reader. When you install SmartSwipe, you can swipe your credit card at your home or office computer just like you would in a store. Plug the SmartSwipe into your computer’s USB port, go shopping to your favourite online stores and swipe your credit card – it is that easy. The best part is that you know your credit card information is safe and secure.
“NetSecure has hit the mark with SmartSwipe. This innovative solution greatly reduces the risk of having credit card information captured by malicious software on a user’s computer. This product is the real thing – not some “vaporware”. I recommend SmartSwipe for anyone who uses their credit card online.” (Don Burlack, CISSP, CISM, CEH; President – C.S.I. Services Inc.)
With this SmartSwipe card reader your info is safe because your card information is never stored on your computer. The device uses Dynamic SSL technology and the same level of encryption used in bank machines and ATMs.
Instead of typing in your card number on the checkout page, just swipe your card. It encrypts the info BEFORE it enters your computer. On the order page of whatever site you are buying from, you are blocked from typing the card number in. Instead just swipe the card and you are done. It couldn’t be easier.
Distributing it throughout Canada in the next few months too and throughout the US by fall. Anyone in North America can get it through the website right now for $99.95.
They are also have positions available:
- Chief Operating Officer
- Controller: Part-Time
- Senior Software Developer
- Software Developer – C++
- Firefox Developer
