Congrats to nobosh Answers!
November 25th, 2007
My friend B.A. has been slaving away on a new site that he created called nobosh (see the definition of bosh if you don’t already know what it means). As a supplement to the site, he’s launched an answers site, called nobosh Answers, where users can ask financial and business questions that are then answered by the site’s community. The answers site alone is pretty spiffy but he also created a version for the iPhone that was featured on Apple’s iPhone Web apps showcase as well as listed as a Staff Pick! Way to go B.A.!
Check out nobosh Answers to get your financial and business questions answered today!

November 3rd, 2007
Earlier in the week, I came across ProQuo, a new site that promises to allow you to unsubscribe from all those annoying fliers, preapproved credit card offers, and other crap that piles up in your mailbox. I decided to try the site out and registered (it’s free). Overall, it was pretty cool. Once you register, they show you a list of…well, lists…that you can unsubscribe from. For some, all you have to do is click a button and ProQuo will send your request to whoever maintains the database. For others, they send you directly to the source (like the DMA) and you handle unsubscribing on the source’s site. Note that not all the sources allow you to unsubscribe online; for some, you have to mail them a request to be removed. All in all, removing my name from about 10 lists was pretty easy. Now I’ll have to just wait and see if I notice a decrease in the amount of junk mail I receive.
There’s also a site called GreenDimes which promises to do a similar thing but costs $15 for their removal kit.
