soupornuts’ reasons to click - #6

November 5, 2007 · Posted in Entrepreneurship, Reasons to Click, The Rotater 

The proliferation of information on the web results in a multitude of fast, free and fun places to interact. My “reasons to click” series is devoted to spreading the word about web sites, blogs and articles/posts that I find interesting, helpful and/or fun. So far, I have not received much feedback as to whether my readers find this information to be of any use. Give me a comment or two. Do I continue with this series or not? You make the call.

1. We’re having a baby!

I’m not sure that everyone knows, but my wife and I are expecting our third child. You’d think that by now, I’d have all this baby stuff worked out and be completely knowledgeable about everything. And you’d be right. My wife on the other hand is full of questions because this will be our first baby boy. Where do you find out about:

  • Pregnancy weight gain? I haven’t gained much but my wife seems concerned.
  • Baby health
  • When to call a doctor?
  • Baby naming? It seems that there are some rules.
  • Much more

…gurgle. That’s right. Gurgle is the name of an extensive site all about babies, having babies, naming babies, caring for babies and a whole lot more.

2. Hard to find 800 numbers

Do you need to contact a company and:

  • can’t find their 800 number on their web site
  • they don’t have a web site
  • it’s just too much trouble to sift through the mountain of information

Click on over to HARD TO FIND 800 NUMBERS. Not only do they provide numbers, they also provide a way for you to submit helpful numbers that you’ve discovered.

3. My office is full of sticky notes

I use sticky notes. They’re surrounding me right now. In fact, the only thing that I use more than sticky notes is a yellow highlighter. Why don’t I use sticky notes for remembering that thing that I wanted to remember on that site I was checking out the other day? I can now that I’ve found MyStickies, a Web 2.0 application that is FREE.

I’ve started using it and it looks like it is going to be a great application.

4. A much needed history lesson

The passage of time clouds the memory. A little over two hundred years ago, our forefathers laid the foundation for a great nation. Eric Sanders at Brainwavers is on a mission to remind us of the true cost of our freedom to sit here and read or write about any issue that crosses our minds without the fear of being arrested, tortured and/or killed. Tune in for more.

5. Bold and shameless self-promotion

1StopForGolf has featured the Rotater as the “GOLF PRODUCT OF THE MONTH” in their most recent e-newsletter. The Rotater is a brand new, revolutionary shoulder rehabilitation and stretching device that has caused quite a buzz among those who have tried it.

Scott Kay and I formed our company (Joint Mechanix) a few months ago to promote, market and distribute the Rotater, which Scott invented to help him during rehabilitation from shoulder surgery. We have been to a number physical therapy conferences where the Rotater has received high marks and great praises. Though we have been receiving a number of testimonials attesting to the effectiveness of the Rotater, this is our first mention in the press.

We are also very proud to announce that we have been able to produce a “Pink Rotater” that is accompanied by our new “Strong Arm” attachment. This has been an “high-priority” project that will allow Joint Mechanix to help breast cancer survivors while at the same time allow us to help fund breast cancer research.

    Chris:

    Yes, definitely continue the “reasons to click.” Absolutely. In fact, I’m starting something similiar for my blog to be associated with gratitude - expressing thanks for not only those who might have mentioned me and/or my blog but also those who provided insightful tips that helped me and/or my readers.

    So, definitely! Keep it. That’s my vote.

    p.s. Congrats on both the baby who’s coming and the success of the “Rotater.” :)
