"Business Credit Cards"

Have you received an offer, yet, for a small-business or corporate credit card? You very well may.

Again - be aware ...

These "professional cards" are NOT covered under the Credit Card Accountability and Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009! Everything gained by the consumer in the Card Act is taken away with these business cards.

Although generally reserved for small business owners or corporate executives, they are now being offered to ordinary consumers. This will get the card issuers around some of the provisions of the Card Act. By accepting them, you'll be right back where you started with their unfair practices.

Be especially careful of Chase, Citibank and Capital One. Full story in The Wall Street Journal here:

I got the following information from Adrian Jock's “Worst Newsletter in the World,” at:

Worst Newsletter in the World

Adrian pays more attention to Google than I do, and he picked it up directly from them.

It seems Google has decided their “spam” folder isn't enough. Now, they're adding a “Priority Inbox.”

You'll have to help them, or Google will decide what you need to see - even in email that is NOT canned meat!

You'd better get all the details, or you're going to lose some email. And, it might be important!

Tobri

Have you been introduced to Ken McArthur's new social and business network - Tobri?

I've had two accounts in the beta release:

www.tobri.com/jlscott/
and
www.tobri.com/iCop/

I haven't been very active because, like everything, it takes time. But it's very neat! So much stuff I haven't even perused it all, yet.

It doesn't look like my profile pages have been updated properly, but the system IS still in Beta.

I did set up a group over the weekend. It's called, "Online Business Council" - for which I have the domain name. Just haven't done anything with it.

Check it out! If you decide to try it out, be sure to join the Online Business Council group - along with whatever else interests you.
