Billionaire Exchange: an eBay for the Socially Privileged

Post author By web gangsta
Post date November 15, 2009

BILLIONAIRE XCHANGE is not for the common folk who like to eat chicken wings, watch football, and sit in the back of the plane on cross-country flights.

No, Billionaire Xchange is for those snooty rich folks and celebrities who like to hobnob amongst themselves, drinking tea with their pinkies sticking out and yelling “cheerio!” during their polo match.

Yes, even the rich need to auction off an item or two, but for them – eBay just isn’t the right way to go about things. Billionaire Xchange gives those sellers with some big ticket items…and we do mean BIG TICKET items…a place to buy and sell without worrying about being scammed by a crafty teenager with a hacked American Express card.

Twitter is still the best place to go if you are looking for instant feedback on any topic, product, or service.

And if you’re a business that is playing in the social media field, you would be well-served by monitoring who is at the top of the heap when it comes to Twitter mentions of brand names.

How To Troubleshoot Sprint’s Android Samsung Moment Phone’s USB Connection

1 Comment on How To Troubleshoot Sprint’s Android Samsung Moment Phone’s USB Connection

A friend of Web Watch purchased the new Sprint Android phone, the Samsung Moment, when it was released the other day, and they were having a difficult time getting the phone to connect to their Windows-based computer via the supplied USB connector.

After spending countless hours on the phone with Sprint customer service and technical support (including an unusual interchange with not one – but two – Chinese-speaking technical support folks), debugging and reformatting multiple microSD cards, and downloading endless versions of device drivers and software from the Microsoft and Samsung websites, we finally stumbled upon the solution – which Web Watch will share with you, if only to help ease the burder that others may find if they too run across this extremely seemingly undocumented feature.

As we’ve covered in Web Watch in previous years, November is NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.

If you’ve had a hankering to get the Great American Novel written, but have had the most massive case of writer’s block ever seen, then NaNoWriMo is for you – because the only way to get out of writer’s block is to just start writing.

Want a laugh? Etsy has some really odd stuff for sale

Trolling through eBay auction listings can offer a laugh or two, with the misspellings, grammar, and unusual photographs with naked people in the background of shots (the infamous eBay teakettle, anyone?).

Have you wandered over to etsy.com? Etsy is an auction site just like eBay, but instead of offering ready-made items available at the local store, Etsy is a community of sellers who make their own items for sale. Some have called Etsy an “eBay for arts-and-crafts”.
