As I was doing a review of the RSS reader IntraVnews, I got hooked on the whole syndication thing. I always knew feeds were out there, but never really paid much attention to them. Once I started tinkering with this software, I am suddenly wondering how I made it this far without it. Before, I would dance from blog to blog, website to website. There are quite a few I check on a regular basis. Now, I simply check my favorites like I check my email. I am much more efficient with my valuable internet time. I came across a good article, kind of a “how to†for RSS. Here it is.
If you are one of the millions out there who read blogs and don’t do the whole “feeds thingâ€, I strongly suggest you at least give it a try. It will make things much easier. If you are still intimidated, some sites offer email feeds (such as Bradsblog), where site updates are sent to your email.

My Wife and I went into the local office in West Palm Beach, and from the get go I thought that these people were too nice. But they showed us the hour presentation and told us that if we did no buy today we could not come back for life ( that?s a bunch of CRAP, PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS) I told my wife that we can?t afford there $5000 memberships. My wife talked me into signing up with the WORST COMPANY IN HISTORY. What we did was we made a $500 dollar deposit and we would pay it off in the next 2 years (sounds good right) Let me tell you what happens when you sign the contract, These people sold the loan to a bank that I have never heard of the first week. What I found out is that when you sign the contract you are giving these people the right to go out and apply for a loan in your name. This company went out and got a $4500 loan in our name at a 18% interest rate and we tried to cancel the membership and they said that there?s nothing they can do about it, because they already got there money. IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE I BEG YOU STAY AWAY FOR THIS COMPANY THEY ARE CROOKS.

My wife and I had numerous phone calls begging us to come to Direct Buy. We kept telling them NO, but they kept on calling. Then, one day this month they told me I had a chance at a $50,000 dollar home make over or a chance at other prizes. I told them okay and they sent me an invitation in the mail with a key to try for the prize.
We went to the showroom, given a tour, and told about the money we could save by using them. We told them since it cost so much to join we would need to think about it. They told us I had to decide right then, so we told them No. We were quickly ushered out the door and did not get to see if we won anything.
So, our impression of Direct Buy is not very good. They promise things but don’t deliver on their promise.
No, I would not join now no matter what. They are friendly as long as you join, but if you don’t they have no time for you.
