The Internet is PARKED
Yeah, the internet has a wealth of information. Thousands and thousands of web sites, blogs, and databases, but it can be overwhelming to search for that information if you don’t know how. Even, if you do know your way around everyone has a catch. Usually it’s a monthly fee, or your email address.
The monthly fee thing bugs me because the internet is free - right? Besides, before anyone gets my credit card number I want more then a 30 day trial. How do I know the information is good? If the site stinks where’s the link that lets me cancel my account. I’ll tell you where - no where to be found, that’s where.
OK, so I’m a little cheap. Instead I’ll use my email address. Well, this in itself is an issue because I don’t want to use my very private and guarded personal email address, so I sign up for one of those free web accounts from Google, Yahoo, or maybe Hotmail. Now, to avoid getting too much stuff in one email account I decide to have multiple web mail accounts and that brings me to subject of logon names, and passwords. How many creative “handles” can I come up with? Who the heck thinks I’m going to remember x%#ddy! as my assigned password? Oh, by the way do you remember which email address I used to research that thing I was looking for????
Alright, I have my email accounts pretty organized and a I have a bunch of passwords I can remember, so now you’re asking what could be the problem if I’ve got it all down pat. Well, SPAM is my problem. Once you sign up for some of these things they “share” your email address and the next thing you know I’m getting all kinds of invitations and offers. Gee golly!
So, where does that leave me? As soon as I check out the 124, 853, 790,743,825,222 links that came up with my Google search I’ll let you know.
