Dry Loop DSL - Naked DSL

Since most people are now turning to Cell phones to replace their home lines a lot of phone companies who sell DSL are suffering. I know most of my friends now use Cable for their Internet connections as they don’t want to have to pay for a phone line they never use. The telephone companies are responding with Naked DSL or Dry Loop DSL as it is also known. Dry Loop DSL is basically DSL without the phone line. You get a phone line into your house and you can access DSL through the line, but you can’t make any phone calls. This is great if all you want is Internet connectivity and you don’t really need to utilize the telephone portion of a DSL line. We killed off our DSL a few years back, but I’ve been considering it again with the absence of the phone bill part of a DSL line and Naked DSL may be the answer.

I’m not unsatisfied with my cable connection at all, but I like to keep switching up so I can save money and get the switch to deals. Right now AT&T is offering some great deals on Dry Loop DSL. Perhaps I will take  a look at changing again. I just hate to do without my Internet Connectivity for any length of time. Perhaps I can get a Naked DSL connection during the same day as I turn off the cable modem connection. I’m not totally sold on Dry loop DSL but it may be something work looking into.

Rescue Bill Passes House

The House of Representatives has passed the Rescue bill this is great news and will really help our country’s economy. The Rescue/Bailout Bill passed the house by       

Hopefully the economy can start to get back on track. Many republicans are still not supporting the rescue plan so for the plan to pass is great. Now it will go to the President and hopefully he will not veto the rescue, plan. Its highly unlikely that he would veto the Bailout/ Rescue bill since he has come out so strongly in support of the bill.

Stocks are rallying on the news. They have been up all morning, but this could send them through the roof and wipe out all the loses experienced this week.

Ziggs.com Who is Googling me

Ziggs.com has launched an interesting service which allows you to find out when your name is being searched on Google. This could be good for companies who want to fine tune their marketing campaigns. It won’t tell you exactly who searched your name but it does give you some interesting demographics about the person including their location, time of search, IP address, search terms etc.. This could be useful for a company to gage interest, but I don’t see how it would be of much help for an individual to find out who is googling you. Ziggs is a very interesting concept and could be useful if you could figure out how to leverage the information. I guess you could look at who is Googling your competitors and then create marketing campaigns to target those people. Of course since the Zigg service just launched its hard to say just how accurate these who is googling me results actually are.
