The Future Is Not Evenly Distributed…Yet

Will — Mon, 03 May 2010 05:41:05 +0000

“The future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed yet.” — Science-fiction writer William Ford Gibson wrote this back in the 1980′s.

The signs of the future are all around us. The evidence is everywhere if we will only open our eyes. There are always clues, but it isn’t until much later that most of the world grasps their significance. Meanwhile, the innovators who are busy inventing our future live in a place of their own. They see and act on ideas invisible to others. But after those ideas are accepted, and then adopted by the public, it’s hard to envision life without them. Take running water, electricity, or the radio, or the telephone, and of course, the Internet. My youngest daughter doesn’t remember life without a computer hooked up to the internet. To her, a computer is like a toaster…everybody’s got one.

Why do I bring this up?

This past weekend, in St. Louis, I believe I witnessed a historic milestone for the future of Internet Shopping. My Net Universe/My Shopping Genie launched a new version of their App, My Shopping Genie. This free App has been around for a while, helping people find low prices on the internet, and it works well. Originally, I understand it was an app to find cheaper eBay prices. Then it evolved into searching the shopping search engines along with eBay. Starting tomorrow, and over the next few days, My Net Universe will roll out it’s latest version of its free app, My Shopping Genie.

Why Should You Care?

Not only will it continue to find the lowest prices for consumer goods, now, it will find products in the virtual world as well. Clickbank is a well-known website for downloading ebooks and other items in a digital format. Amazon.com recently entered this industry too. My Net Universe has created a website that can search both catalogs in seconds.

What this means for users of the app, is that for the first time, they will be able to use one app to find the lowest price for all their needs in the real and the virtual world… An app that will find the lowest price 96% of the time. An app that saves the user significant time from having to sift through thousands of search engine results. An app, that if used will save the average household a hundred dollars or more per month. That’s pretty good walkin’ around money. It’ll pay your average phone or cable bill each month, won’t it.

My Shopping Genie also finds you coupons for groceries and local restaurants. Unlike so called “loyalty” cards issued by supermarkets, the Genie doesn’t track anything personal about its users. It simply scours the internet for the best deals…and doesn’t everybody want to get the best deal?

Get Your Own Free Genie.

For the purposes of transparency, you should know I own a license to distribute the My Shopping Genie App. But even if I didn’t, I’d tell you about this great money-saving app anyway.

Check it out on the last ten items you bought and see what you could have saved. You’ll wish you had found the Genie sooner.

How ‘Bout Them Hawkeyes? More Links For Your Use

Tonight, I’d like to share some other tools that have helped me out during the last year. Take a look at them and see if you can use them to help your operation.

Microsoft charges a lot of money for Office, even the Student and Home version. If you want a good set of Office-like tools that costs zero dollars, look no further than Google Docs. One big advantage is that Google Docs makes it easy to collaborate with others on a project without having to send files back and forth. The lastest revision always loads and the program makes all your revisions available, just in case you make a mistake.

Another plus is that since your projects are stored for you by Google, you can work from any internet connected computer. Read more about it here: http://docs.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=15114
