Some questions from dNeero-ites.

Customer Service or Customer No Service

Is customer service rare in today's capitalistic society? According to a survey in USA Today, Customer Service is the #1 reason people choose to stay with a company long-term. Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction ? that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation.

Extra Cash

Give us cash, and we will shop. That's the idea behind the U.S. government's save-the-economy tax rebates, which are starting to hit checking and savings accounts of cash-strapped consumers. What are you going to do with the money? "He who does not economize will have to agonize." ~ Confucius ~

Identity -- You

Ain't it grand ... we're all different and all alike ... and as we move through our lives we have magnificent changes ... we are what we are ... and we change when we change ... and just maybe our networks of peeps help guide our progress.

Get me there

We move around a lot to get from one place to another -- walk, car, bus, cab, bike, motorcycle, plane, train ... let's talk about your commute. "Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites. " ~ William Ruckelshaus ~

Deezer.com, formerly Blogmusik.net

Geez, am I among the last person on this planet to know about this cool site? From Wikipedia, Deezer.com, formerly known as Blogmusik.net, is a French free Internet-based music-on-demand service. Deezer offers on-demand ad-supported streaming in a similar manner to imeem.com, with a portion of the ad revenue being delivered to content partners. The site has been the center of some controversy, with record companies such as Universal alleging that the service "illegally" hosts copyrighted material. Deezer, on the other hand, claim that their agreements with SACEM, a French organization similar to the US-based RIAA, allow them to host the disputed content. It offers FREE music and the several songs I played sound like the full versions. No gimmicks at all. There is a banner ad on top of the page but that is hardly obtrusive. In return for viewing this ad, I get free music - I think this is a rocking good deal! Though there is a registration button, I was able to listen to the songs without registering (or having to log in). So check out Deezer if you have not already. ^^ PS.: I got wind of this site via this article which you might wish to check out too - "9 Outrageously Handy Websites Everyone Should Try".

Google has a page rank of -1!

I was trying to check the page rank of my blog (without having to install the pesky Google toolbar) and guess what I got? The result is laughable... I got this from whatsmypagerank.com in case you are wondering. Who's kidding who? :P PS.: And yes, I did try several variations like google, google.com, www.google.com . PPS.: To be fair, the "-1" might mean that the page rank is unavailable - possibly because Google has "banned" this site from bombarding it with page rank requests. Beats me but this website certainly needs to have a domain name change.
