Several weeks back I received an e-mail from EzineArticles.com asking me for my address so they could send me a token of appreciation for publishing articles on the site. I forgot all about that little interaction until I received a nice little coffee mug and note from Christopher Knight, the CEO.

Do your taste buds tingle at the thought of yummy, fresh water fish? If so, join me in sampling some of the finest fillets coming out of the pristine waters of Canada for this week’s Store Spotlight on Walleye Direct, your source for freshwater fish fillets. Everything from yellow perch, walleye, trout and catfish is available directly from the lake to your door overnight so you can satisfy your craving before you go mad. So how did this fresh fish market get started?
Miva Merchant released Feature Upgrade 4 for our shopping cart software, Miva Merchant 5.5 on Monday this week. Rick Wilson gives a quick overview of what is included in the update and how it sets the stage for future releases.
The stage is set. A hush comes over the audience as the house lights fall. Echoing steps ricochet from the stage and tumble through the air. A slight pause before the spotlight hits center stage. Standing in the revealing light is this week’s store, Coolest Kids Furniture. It’s time to highlight your child’s living space with stylish and tasteful furnishings.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, and if you’re reading this then chances are you haven’t, Twitter is a word you’ve heard of. Now, does that mean you understand it, I’m not sure? Last night, sitting on my porch enjoying the comfort of the San Diego gloaming and having a conversation with a few friends, who I had thought were tech-savvy individuals, the subject or Twitter came up. They knew of it, had heard that people used it, heck they had accounts, but they never used them. In fact, according to Nielsen, who performed a survey back in April 60% of user quit using Twitter after one month. My buddies fell into that demographic. The thing is, people are unaware of the vast resources available for Twitter that make it such a valuable commodity. But, luckily for you I’ve compiled a list of 38 Twitter Tools to optimize your micro blogging account.
The Store Spotlight needs a remake, I’ve gathered some Do-It-Yourself (DIY) material from DIY Upholstery Supply & Charlebois Fabrics, and I’m going to re-upholster the whole thing. Luckily, their site carries a copious amount of fabrics and styles, so my imagination can run rampant on the redesign. Like many stories, DIY Upholstery Supply started with an unsure beginning, a jump into the possibilities for success. In the tradition of happy endings, they created wonderful products for their store and website, making them standout in the upholstery world.
Last night, I’m sitting at home—wasting time and space—watching some horrible movie on TV. My stomach began to rumble, growling up from the depths of itself, demanding substance. So I yell to my roommate:
“Hey man, dinner!”
He comes running down the hallway trying to get his shoes on, trips and slams into the wall, awesome. Anyway, I stand, put on my shoes and we leave the apartment. Now, what to eat? Minutes pass as we walk around trying to pinpoint our appetite. No pizza, no tacos, but a burger oh, that sounds perfect. We make the seven block northward hike to a local joint where you’re allowed to design your own cheeseburger. Seriously, what else could a person want? I know exactly what I’m getting. The only person I can be angry with, if I don’t like the food, is myself. And no way I’m making him angry.
This week the Spotlight falls on our furry friends in the northeast, Pet Net Direct. Their store ensures the utmost happiness for dogs and cats alike. Carrying a plethora of products for feline and K-9 companions, the site makes life easier for a pet owner on the go, delivering products directly to your door. Let’s go for a walk and dig up the goods on this loveable website.
