Welcome back!

Well, I’ve been treated badly by an online shirt retailer, and am awaiting final reply from them before I post about my experience. Hopefully they will get their act together and do what’s right!

Since you are all starting to get to know us and how we are, you know that we are frugal and save a cent wherever possible. Our doubting nature leaves us caution of new things and things that seem to good to be true.

TrialPay is not one of those things. TrialPay is for real. You find a product that you want that accepts TrialPay, and you select an offer to complete (I’ve completed two – signing up for Rhapsody and eMusic). You usually sign up for a limited time trial (Rhapsody was 7 days free trial and eMusic is .99 for a month). The company of the trial offer you completed pays the registration fee for the service/ software that you want: you get a fully registered version of whatever software you chose. So far I have gotten ClipMate and WinRar completely free! It’s up to you if you want to keep your trial membership to whatever you have chosen: I actually canceled my Rhapsody membership………but they billed me anyway. With a quick phone call to their customer service department, I got that charge refunded.

This is a great way to get softwares that you otherwise night not be able to afford. It is the real deal, but if you cancel your trial offer, remember to watch to make sure that you don’t get billed. So far I’ve saved myself over $60 – TrialPay is the real deal!

Get Your Favorite Products Free

There are companies out there that want to pay for your business. They’re called advertisers. Until now, advertisers have spent money attracting shoppers rather than paying them. TrialPay changes the system.

With TrialPay, customers benefit from advertising revenue. You get a free product just for trying or buying something you wanted anyway. The advertiser pays for your free product to thank you for becoming a new customer. TrialPay makes it happen.

Shopper Benefits

TrialPay is the first payment platform to let customers benefit from advertising dollars. With TrialPay, you get your favorite products for free just by trying or buying something you already wanted.

For example: want a copy of WinZip but don’t want to pay for it? Get it free by sending flowers from FTD. FTD pays WinZip for your free copy.

How Is This Possible?

Advertisers want to pay for your business. Instead of buying a TV commercial or an ad on a bus as a means of acquiring new customers, with TrialPay advertisers pay for your free product, encouraging you to become a new customer. By sweetening the deal with a free product, you’re more likely to complete an offer and become their customer.

So while this offer seems too good to be true, it’s actually in everyone’s best interest…and just as good as it sounds. TrialPay makes it happen.

I’m Sold, What Now?

TrialPay is a payment method just like Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Google Checkout and Bill Me Later. Look for the TrialPay option on your favorite sites.

Transact with TrialPay–get your favorite products for free!

TrialPay is a trusted alternative payment method.

Well, I had this all written out yesterday when Scribefire decided to eat it, so let’s try this again, shall we?

We are skeptical consumers at best. We don’t really get sucked into all the hype about what products can supposedly do and how much more fabulous they will make your life. So it was with trepidation that we ordered some eneloop batteries to try. Read the rest of this entry »

Synovel happy to announce the release of the beta version of Spicebird – Synovel’s
free and open source collaboration suite. It simplifies communication
for users by providing integrated access to the various tools of
collaboration, like email, calendaring and instant messaging, in a
single application. It provides easy access to various web services
while retaining all the advantages of a desktop application.

The application is built on top of mozilla Thunderbird, Sunbird, Xmpp4moz
and adds more features and integration. The extensibility of the
mozilla platform makes adding new tools and customization of the suite
easy. Spicebird has a long road ahead to become a comprehensive communications suite. We seek contributions from the community towards achieving this in the form of ideas, suggestions, bug reports and source code.

I’m a BIG fan of Mozilla (as if you can’t tell) and have been using
Spicebird since day one. It’s pretty simple right now, but I can say
that this will defintely be a program that sustains in the long haul. As all Mozilla apps, SB is open-source.

Already leaps above Outlook, Spicebird features an RSS reader on
your home screen, threaded email conversations (ala GMail), calendar
support (will show GMail calendars but they aren’t bi-directional,
yet), a friendly task screen, and IM.

I threw a couple of my TBird extensions at it (Minimize to tray) and it didn’t not work. But I have seen posted in the forums that people have gotten their TBird extensions to work either natively, or with the help of the nightly trunk extension helper.

The options screen will look very familiar to Mozilla users: navigation is a breeze! Spicebird can be controlled with a master password that is required as soon as you start the application: security is included!

I’d love to see a few things with SB:

-Bi-directional capability with GCal
-Themes
-RTM integration with the task screen

All in all, for a first release I’m pretty inpressed (and I’m not impressed easily). I am anxious to see what developments will happen with SB and can tell you that it is my personal email client of choice from now on………..and don’t forget the portable version which can be found here. Spicebird 0.4 download here.
