I uncovered the What Friends Do website this morning as I was reading a local blog entry here in Indianapolis. The website reminds me of the CaringBridge website which I’ve talked about previously.

A friend of mine hasĀ a loved one who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and is obviously very connected to what’s going on overseas right. Regardless of your thoughts on whether or not we should be there, the truth of the matter is that we have family and friends over there and we MUST support […]

Just got this story forwarded to me and figured with the possibility of Internet phishing attempts and scams being used to gather credit cards numbers, it would apply to those of always seeking to uncover something new on “the Tubes”.

PayPal has been the de facto standard for online payment methods since I’ve been on the Internet and needed a way to pay people. Originally I used it for paying for items I’d won on eBay, but now I use it for payment of client invoices and even donations on some client websites.
