Ugg Shoes

February 20th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Clothing

When a pair of shoes are called Uggs, one would expect them to be ugly, but these boots are anything but that. Ugg boots are known for their comfort but unlike other shoes that are known for comfort (Crocs anyone??) these boots are actually very stylish as well.

The down side of Ugg shoes is their prices. The boots range in price but the lowest I’ve seen is around $129. With the economy being the way it is, I’m not sure if to omany people have the extra money to spend on a pair of boots they will only wear for part of the year. My solution: get those Ugg boots for free! Complete a few quick offers and those Uggs will be shipped to you. You don’t even have to worry about shipping! Trust me, your feet will thank you!

Microsoft 7: Coming Soon

February 19th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Information, Uncategorized

Only a few months to go and the new Microsoft 7 will be here! Although the exact date has yet to be released, it should be soon.  According to CrunchGear it will be released very soon and all computers purchased on or after July 1st of this year will get the free upgrade.

So, what does this mean? Basically, you will have the latest version of Windows. The versions will synch - Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium, Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional, Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate, etc. Some of the major changes that are being talked about that have leaked out are the inclusion of Internet Explorer 8.

There are going to be many upgrades and I can’t wait to see the new and improved Windows 7 but for now I’ll just be patient. I’m not going to do as many others are doing and turn to illegal sources to get the new operating system. It will soon show that patience does pay off.

Facebook and their new Terms of Service

February 18th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Information

Facebook recently rewrote their terms of service. The new terms of service suggested that “Facebook would retain personal data even if someone deleted their account,” according to the BBC News.  Since this announcement, many users have been wondering if they should keep or delete their account. Mark Zuckerberg, creator of the online social website Facebook, defends his position for the changes by saying the records would be used to show how people were using the site.

With his defense in mind, I would say that he is on the right tract as it could be a safety measure. I’m saying this as I’m thinking of school shootings and myspace accounts that were investigated. But, that is really the only reason I could see those kind of measures needing to be taken. Regardless, I’m not saying whether I necessarily agree or disagree with Mark Zuckerberg.

One thing is for sure, I have faith that Mark Zuckerberg is going to get everything back on track. I feel secure in saying this after reading on TechCrunch: Zuckerberg On Who Owns User Data on Facebook: It’s Complicated. That article seemed to really shed some light on the changes that are being made. He has already made a huge step in gaining back people’s loyalty. He’s listened to what the people have said in regards to the changes and he has reverted back tothe previous terms of service per the voice of the people. I think he will have the new and improved ToS’s up in no time and they will reflect both the changes he feels need to be made and what Facebook users want.

February 18th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Free Stuff

There are many different computers out there today. With the variety comes different scams to get you to a “free” laptop or computer. How can you tell if the site is legit? Hoenstly, the one way to tell s through testing. But, I’ve done the testing for you! Each of the sites that I have recommended in the past and recommend now are real, all you have to do is participate in a couple offers and the laptop or gift card is yours! I would just recommend that you read the terms and conditions if you are confused or questioning what you need to do in order to get to the free laptop or gift card.

So, if you could get  a free laptop, which would you choose? I found an Apple MacBook Pro, an Apple MacBook Air and a Dell XPS m1530, all for free! Which would you choose?

Favorite Websites

February 17th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Gift Cards, Home Improvement

I am constantly on the Internet. I’m on it while I’m working and while I’m home watching television. When I’m filling out surveys and it says: How many hours do you spend per week on the Internet, I’m the one with around 40+ hours logged in. I wish I could say that was all while working but really, it’s not. In my opinion, the Internet is among one of the best inventions. It really is something that I know I could do without but I would rather not think about actually having to.

So, what I would like to do is just give a shot-out to my favorite websites, a top 10 if you will. Check them out and let me know your thoughts. Also, feel free to let me know what your favorite websites are if they aren’t listed.

1. www.ILikeTotallyLoveIt.com - This is a great site for those in eCommerce. If you have cool items that you are trying to sell, here is a great place to promote it. Warning though: this site is not good for promoting the sale of your regular run-of-the-mill products, they have to have something unique about them. For instance, the “Yes We Can” T-shirt that is shaped like a Campbell’s Soup can but for President Obama or the Run DC t-shirt. Don’t worry, it’s not all political, those are just two that stood out to me.

2. www.Facebook.com - Facebook is a great place to meet new people and catch up with those you have lost touch with. It’s part of the social networking hype that has caught hold of practically everyone on the Internet. We at WowThatsFree even have a Facebook page.

3. www.Twitter.com - Yet another social networking site. On this site you are able to tell your friends and followers what you are doing, in 140 characters or less. So, no need to worry about saying too much or having to read up on tons of information, it’s 140 characters or less. It’s quick and easy, and most importantly, it’s fun!
4. www.Pogo.com - If you are mildly into gaming then this is the site for you. They have everything from slot machine games to bingo to different action games. It’s a great site to waste away a rainy Sunday or when you can’t fall asleep at night. There is a membership fee but it’s so minimal (around $5/month) that it’s really worth it.
5. www.Ebay.com - This site has been a personal favorite for a number of years. When I’m trying to find something and want a good price on it, I search on ebay first. I’ve found everything from puppy wee pads to articles of clothing. I’ve even been able to sell a few items on there as well. It’s a great money making site and great way to spend some money.
6. www.PerezHilton.com - I have to have a blog as one of my favorites, considering that’s how I love to spend my time. Perez Hilton is a very famous celebrity blogger. He gets the news out before everyone else. His writing is humorous and it’s nice to be able to know all the details of all of your favorite celebrities. Perez Hilton leaves nothing to the imagination.
7. www.Gmail.com - Being a huge fan of Google, I had to give their new email props. I use gmail for all of my personal email needs. It’s fast and the setup is very unique, making it very user friendly.
8. www.Google.com - If you don’t know about Google, it’s time to crawl out from under the rock you’ve been hiding under for so long. It’s said that around 85% of users are using Google as their main search engine. It’s got the majority of the search results and there are so many people advertising on Google that it’s questionable why you would search anywhere else.
9. www.Pandora.com -  When I’m working I’ve got to have music playing. My taste in music is very different from the majority of the people I work with so I’m usually found with my headphones on and my music blaring. Pandora is the perfect place to find the music that you would like to listen to because you are able to set up stations to be exactly what you want to hear. You simply type in the artist or type of music and it sets up a station playing that type of music.
10. www.HomeDepot.com - I had to add this site in as I can’t seem to leave this place when I go visit the actual store, without spending a ton of money. Maybe that’s due to being a new home owner, but the store makes me feel like a kid in a candy store! You can get everything from new windows to blinds to paint to tools and much more! It’s just a handy store! So, of course with the mention of this store I have to mention that I found the $1000 gift card for Home Depot. So nice! That just took my expenses down quite a bit!

$500 Visa Grocery Card

February 16th, 2009 by Jayne Wesner in Gift Cards

President Barack Obama was visiting Elkhart, Indiana this past Monday. He was there to help reassure the people that help is on the way. Elkhart, Indiana is an area where teh unemployment rate is around 15%! This area has lost jobs faster than anywhere else in the United States. So, being that it is definitely time for change, President Barack Obama is doing his part to help those unemployed, especially in places such as Elkhart, Indiana.

So now that President Obama is doing his part, I feel that it is my turn to do my part. So, although I am not able to bring the United States out of this economic crisis on my own, I can help out some. What I’ve done is found a website that is giving out free $500 Visa cards. That can buy quite a few groceries, that’s for sure! Plus, besides the fact that it’s not a scam, it’s also not something where you have to win a drawing in order to get it.

So, stop stressing over bills so much and get your very own $500 Visa gift card today!
