Looking for a new free web based email client?

Google's Gmail offers the user a vast plethora of options not to mention a huge amount of free space for sending and receiving files. Gmail offers the user the options of "starring" emails, organizing emails by customizing labels, an adress book, calendar, and an instant chat program with other Gmail users.


Don't like spam? No problem, Gmail uses a powerful Spam filter that reduces unwanted emails by 99% (my personal experience).


In addition your Gmail account gives you access to Google's Free Document and Spreadsheet program which is comparable to Microsoft Office.


If you are addicted to email like me, do yourself a favor and head over to www.gmail.com and try it out.

Google Adsense places content targeted ads on your website allowing you to make instant revenue as a publisher. When a user clicks on these ads Google gives you a percentage of what the advertiser bid on the advertising. Google provides statistics on not only your ctr, cpm and revenue, but you can track individual urls to see which ones bring you the highest CPM.
You can select the size and format of the ads through the Adsense wizard which simplifies process. Adsense will take the sizes, format and color you choose and give you the code to insert in your webpage.
You can also set up a Google Search box that will make it easy for your users and visitors to search your website. Ads will be placed inside the search results making it possible to earn revenue from searches as well.
Whether you have 1,000 unique vistors a month or 1,000,000 you should run at least a one month test of Google Adsense for a month. Don't delay sign up now.

This has to be on my top 10 list of most disturbing news stories. A girl who had lost her dog found a box on her doorstep with the dog's head in it.

Sounds like something from a horror movie doesn't it? I think the movie Fear had a similar twist.

The worst part is that there was Valentine's Candy also in the box.
