I recently started an unofficial MySpace boycott as a result of their decision to remove the ability to search by location. As a local music reviewer for my city, I turn to online resources when seeking new bands to write about. When MySpace launched their revamped site late last year, they altered their advanced search and omitted the special [...]
A MailChimp Review, For The Good Affiliate Marketer

When my family moved to Pollock Pines, California back in the early 1980’s, I noticed that people displayed “Stomp Out Flatlanders” bumper stickers [...]
