HouseFix Invites Bids from Contractors on Home Improvement Projects
Our last “HouseFix” resulted in 2 contractors that didn’t bother to return our messages and 1 that stood us up twice in two days! I HATE having to have something done! It’s like they don’t really care about making $$$!… so what do you think, will a web app like this help???

STOP SOPA, SAVE THE INTERNET →
Cory Doctorow, quoting Tiffiny from Fight for the Future:
PROTECT IP (S. 968)/SOPA (HR. 3261) creates the first system for Internet censorship - this bill has sweeping provisions that give the government and corporations leeway and legal cover for taking down sites “by accident,” mistakenly, or for NOT doing “enough” to protect the interests of Hollywood. These bills that are moving very quickly through Congress and can pass before Christmas aim to give the US government and corporations the ability to block sites over infringing links posted by their users and give ISPs the release to take any means to block peoples’ sites, including slowing down your connection. That’s right, some say this bill is a workaround to net neutrality and is bigger than net neutrality.
Please contact your representative to help stop SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. You can learn more about this grossly overreaching bill at Ars Technica and the EFF.
To be clear: I do agree that piracy is a problem. But it’s a difficult one to solve, and SOPA is not the solution. This bill essentially hands copyright holds an automatic shotgun that fires sledgehammers in the hopes of pounding a few nails.

No Contests Allowed on Google Plus Business Pages
Google+ doesn’t appear to be making it easy for businesses to use their new social network. It took months for them to roll out business pages and now they are not allowing contests or coupons to be given out to a page’s fans,
With so many businesses, especially indies, saying that they just don’t have time to bother with Google+ since most of their fans are already on, and intend to stay on Facebook, why is Google making it even more difficult to gain users?
