I love craigslist.org and have sold a few things there fast and efficiently. I recently read an article on Bambi’s Blog about how this company seems to make money, and still be socially responsible. Its a great servcie. Bambi posts some comments on her site about the CEO’s POV.
If you haven’t found it yet – I urge you to use craigslist: atlanta classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events. Its a great way to sell and buy stuff locally, via the efficiency of the Internet.

craigslist: sell stuff online, no hype, they still manage to make money too.
Thursday, December 21st, 2006Mossberg – good article on cordless headphones.
Thursday, December 21st, 2006Walt Mossberg Article on cordless/noise cancellation headphones Two good options here but my POV is that they are still too expensive and cumbersome. Fact is, they are still tied to adding a base unit and quite frankly, my approach is to buy a Nano or Shuffle and strap it to my arm or clip it on my collar. Think about how small the Shuffle is – a short wire and its about the same size as these fancy headphones. Get some earbuds and you are good to go! $79 vs $300!
As for the headsets for your ears that use bluetooth – I have tried several models since them came out and still am not comfortable. They annoy my ear and I still am embarassed to wear them. I did find a Motorola model (the older one) that’s flip out mic is best for wind noise – thank you Walt – but in the end went back to the simple ear-bud wired version for my BlackBerry. I may try The Boom when my calls increase again. My friend Tony says it is fantastic. Quite frankly, I’m not travelling that much and I don’t WANT to talk on the phone that much.
Photodoto – MyPublisher.com
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006UPDATE: They emailed me a coupon for $180 and free overnight shipping to cover the cost of the order – I just sent in a new order that cost me nothing – didn’t have to send back other one, so I get one book for free (woopie); 11/12 were unusable. lets see how these come out! I lost two weeks and these won’t make it for Hannukah but if this one works I’ll keep using the service.

Hi – all search engines see this. http://www.mypublisher.com. I posted here on this website;
Photodoto » Blog Archive » Has anyone had a good experience with MyPublisher.com?
others have had problems.
Here is my opinion of the service.
I have had great success with mypublisher.com until today. I use the iPhoto Plug-in. The first two orders were for hardcover books – they came out great and color was pretty good. I had the coupon they offer for iPhoto users to publish directly and that made the cost reasonable. I haven’t priced shutterfly but Apple’s standard pricing is too expensive.
Today, however I received an order from them that was for the smaller 6×8 books – these books were poorly packaged and the packaging was torn up and re-taped – this appeared to be before the post office got to it. It actually looks like someone in the finishing room pulled it out of a finisher and them wrapped tape around it.
I ordered 12 books – all came in one mediamail cardboard envelope, not a box. The books were also not usable. Because of the packaging many were pressed against each other – there was no padding in the envelope – so there were creases and folds in most every one. Then 5 of the books had pages printed off center, upside down, with a barcode showing and folded up – (like when you have a page go through the printer bent). I don’t know if it is the Christmas rush or what but this is messing up my gift plans. I have emailed customer service twice – they don’t take phone calls.
I agree one of the posters on photodoto- with what they charge for shipping they shouldn’t be this poorly packaged or printed. And the hardcover books are nicely packaged – pre-made boxes and all. This must have been a bad day for them.
So good and bad experiences with www.mypublisher.com for me.
