About one year ago a new online currency, called Bitcoin began to take shape. At the time of launch not many people adopted the idea of yet another worthless fiat currency, similar to the US Dollar, however, the fact that they will eventually limit it's supply ended up slowly attracting more and more interested parties. After all, as the United States continues to print new money to the tune of trillions of dollars, eventually all the Bitcoins will be mined, and the currency will be limited.
Could the founders of Bitcoin be onto something or is it merely a fad that will die out as time passes? Will investors turn to Bitcoin as a means to counter inflation? These are all questions being asked at the various Bitcoin Forums online, with both positive and negative responses.
We'd like to hear your opinions on what you think the future of this brand new currency is. Will it survive from a value standpoint, and will the numerous world governments take actions against it?

A Look at TheMoneyKid
Just lately many of us have noticed a massive number of brand new "Get Paid to" type programs which usually seem to present amazing incentives for giving visitors to their own sites. Presently there are basically hundreds and hundreds of cons out there that operate with the admins greatest interest at hand, leaving behind the people in the dark at the finish, and without cash. One fresh site like this is the recently launched plan called The Money Kid. If you are sensible you would quickly avoid this website and any sites like it.
The Way TheMoneyKid functions is that you get your very own individual web address which you duplicate and paste all over the place. The Money Kid recommends that you propagate the referral link you are offered all around the internet via Myspace, Forums, Bebo, and so on. The more mouse clicks you get to your individualized TheMoneyKid web address, the more cash you will generate. In reality, you will make 15 cents for each and every click you get on your own customized link. That's at least what these people claim.
Remember that if an offer appears much too good to be real than it almost surely is. Of course, no one will close these types of plans down since they are not inquiring for any kind of cash to get started, but many folks will squander a remarkable quantity of their time, imagining they are making lots of funds, when in truth they are just viewing numbers go up on a monitor.
Just remember to be incredibly mindful, and think about how these programs make their money just before moving head first into something you have no idea about. Bear in mind the program itself requires to be able to generate more money than they are having to pay out. This signifies that if they need to pay out $15 for every 250 views of their web site, the plan wants to make at minimum that to keep in business. Do the mathematics. If it won't add up, run!

Ad-Ventures4u
Every now and then I like to bring up sites and investment programs which seem to be attracting a lot of attention. I have seen autosurfs like 12Dailypro come and go, and have also seen many people make quite a lot of money from timing these programs correctly. The latest autosurf which seems to have gained a lot of publicity in the internet circles is Ad-ventures4u.
Is Ad-ventures4u Legitimate?
I have my doubts that they will be able to consistently pay out what they claim, however since it is a variable interest rate, they could technically lower it and survive for quite some time. They do have other business's that they are in fact making money with, so the longevity of the program could be quite long.
Deciding to Invest or Not in Ad-ventures4u
What one needs to do before investing in Ad-ventures4u or any autosurf for that matter, is the following. Make sure the amount of money you are investing is not money you could not live without. Always view autosurf investing as a gamble instead of an actual investment, because in fact it is more like playing a casino game like Texas Hold'em poker. Analyze the trends of the payouts, and decide for yourself it it may be too late to throw money towards something that will likely end eventually.
Personally I never invest into these things as I would rather participate in something that is monitored by governmental bodies like the SEC.

Lockerz Info
Today I saw another trending topic in the online incentive sphere. It's a site called Lockerz, which is located at Lockerz.com. Anyhow, I thought I'd give a brief overview of what I think the program will encompass, as well as my personal opinion on it.
What is Lockerz About?
It seems like a million new web site ideas pop up each week, however, some of them catch my eye more than others. Lockerz is one of them. The Company is run by by an ex executive of both Amazon.com as well as American Eagle Outfitters, Kathy Savitt. It is also funded by a rather respected investment group called Liberty Media. This here tells me we won't be seeing a fly by night scheme. The site itself will seemingly give incentives to individuals who sign up and then participate in their community, buy products through their site, refer their friends, and participate in other online activities like games and trivia. The site is free to join, thus you have nothing to lose besides time for signing up. You must have an invite though by an already established member to do so. You can get Lockerz Invites Here.
My personal Opinion on Lockerz
Like I said above, I see so many programs come and go, but the very fact that this one is backed by some rather respected people with experience in the field, gives me a good feeling about it. I'm sure people won't be getting free 50 inch TV's any time soon, without spending months participating at the site, but it promises to be an interesting idea which just may work if executed properly. There is a forum for Lockerz as well as several blogs about the program already popping up.

Understanding Autosurfs
I usually stay away from the online investment talk, because they are more like gambles than actual investment opportunities. I recently however had a few people contact me asking me if I knew anything about some of the latest Autosurf programs that are being promoted around the net.
My Overall View Towards Autosurf Programs
As many of you know, I used to Own and operate Talkgold.com for several years until selling it off back in November of 2007. I still remain a part of the site and keep my admin duties over there. Having said this I try to keep Talkgold as opened and free as possible, because autosurfs and well as HYIPs are more like gambles than they are actual investments. Having said this, the real programs do exist, and personally I feel people should be allowed to invest in these things as long as they know what they may be getting themselves into.
Remember a few things when putting money into one of these programs
#1 - Expect to lose your money
#2 - Get your initial investment back ASAP, and then play with the profits.
#3 - Don't believe everything you hear online about Autosurfs, or any investment program not recognized by the SEC.
HYIPs as well as Autosurfs should be viewed no differently then a game of Texas hold'em poker. It's a gamble, but with the proper preparation, skill, and luck you can turn the odds in your favor.

10 Cheapest Cities to Live in in America
Now May not be the best time to move, if you are cash strapped, but a move actually can be a great way to spark a declining attitude towards ones own life. If you have the money for a move, and was recently laid off, if may be a good time to think about where you would like to live other than your current town. If a job is available elsewhere, and it's some place you and your family wouldn't mind moving to, then why not be bold, and take the challenge. Here 10 of best cities to move too if you are money strapped. They are ranked using a formula with variables for how cheap living expenses are, the unemployment rate, and the average salary of the metropolitan area.
#1 Manchester-Nashua, NH
#2 Ogden-Clearfield, UT
#3 Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI
#4 Worcester, MA Metropolitan
#5 Ann Arbor, MI Metropolitan
#6 Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY
#7 Fort Worth-Arlington, TX
#8 Durham-Chapel Hill, NC
#9 Fort Collins-Loveland, CO
#10 Pittsburgh, PA Metropolitan
Of course you have to have the financial means to make a large move to one of these areas, and if you already have a job, make sure you can secure a similar job in one of these areas before just picking up everything and hauling it away.

The Best and Worst States for Unemployment
A couple months back I did a story about the unemployment rate in America. I love looking at data and seeing which areas are hurt the most and the least in the job sector. The US unemployment rate is currently at 9.7%, and will likely top 10% sometime this year before it's eventually but steady pull back, in my opinion. Here is a look at some of the states in the top 5 and bottom 5 of the unemployment data set. As you can see there is quite a disparity between job rates in America.:
Top 5 Most Unemployed States:
Michigan - 15.4%
South Carolina - 12.3%
Rhode Island - 12.2%
Nevada - 12.1%
Oregon - 12.1%
Top 5 Least Unemployed States
North Dakota - 4.6%
South Dakota - 4.9%
Nebraska - 5.1%
Wyoming - 5.7%
Utah - 5.9%
As you can clearly see, there are some major differences between the top and bottom 5 states in Unemployment rates. It is obvious that the States in the Union who rely heavily on agriculture are doing quite well, while those states Like Michigan, whom lost thousands of jobs when the auto industry went bust, and Nevada who is clearly one of the nations worse housing markets, as well as taking a hit from a gambling and travel decline, are the worse.
