And here is the workshop transcripts from Wednesday:

Hey Everyone,

First, we want to let you know we plan to have two short Q&A workshops tomorrow at 11am EST and Thursday at 4pm EST. The workshop will be held just like last week, inside a Xombyte.

We'll be taking your questions and as always there will be a transcript available.

We're working on a new contest. We'll have one more contest before the new year. We hope to roll something out early next week. I'm sure it will be some kind of writing contest.

We've seen some awesome deals on PCs early this holiday season. If you're looking to buy a big ticket item for the holidays make sure you do some research so you get the best deal. We're seeing great prices on laptops and desktops.

Tigerdirect.com is being very competitive with it's wholesale price.

Make sure you are writing about these deals. Consumers are starting to search for ideas for Christmas and shopping guides.

Personally, I think sales will be best about a week or so before Christmas instead of black Friday.

Many companies around the world are preparing major layoffs like the ones Citigroup announced yesterday. You can bet that people will be searching online for who is laying off and how to find a job. I have friends already asking me how to write a resume and to share tips about finding a job.

If you're lucky enough to have some extra cash this year you should consider giving to organizations such as www.toysfortots.org.
