Happy Canada Day! In honour of my bilingual, metric-system homeland, this post is on easy and free online conversions and translations.
An online coupon craze kicked off in late 2008 based on a simple economic premise that most of us are already familiar with: larger purchases yield lower prices per unit.
What hoards of web services starting having success doing was using the internet to provide bulk buying without the bulk, giving consumers individual-level access to 50%-90% discounts. Typical deals last for a limited time only--say 24 hours--and apply to a specific local service such as a restaurant, spa, gym membership, city tour, or haircut. Groupon and LivingSocial were among the most popular in the United States in 2009, with Groupon joining Wagjag and Teambuy.ca in Canada in 2010 then buying Europe's Citydeal and Chile's ClanDescuento. The list of social commerce players has exploded and become downright overwhelming in certain cities. What does this all mean for you? That answer depends on where you are.
Happy shopping! One popular way to legally enjoy free music online, tailored to your taste, is trying out Pandora by clicking this link. Just enter a song or artist that you like and Pandora will instantly create a radio station based on similar music. If you want to refine your station further, you can add more songs or artists, or click "thumbs up" while listening to a specific song you like. This will give you more similar music in your station, or a "thumbs down" will give you less of it.
I spend a lot of time doing work at my computer and enjoy listening to a calm mix of ambient background music. If you like that kind of music as well you can listen to my "studious chill" radio station on Pandora by clicking here. Note: While Pandora is only available in the United States for the time being, free software like hotspotshield may allow international users to access the service outside the United States. |
