<p>I have talked about [lk:fundable.org] here before. I have noe been a part of two failed funable.org campaigns. Granted one of them was aborted by the organizer early on, but the other was fairly modest (20 people x $12 for some bumper stickers). I just received notice that the campaign didn't meet its goal. So here are some problems i see with fundable right now</p> <ul> <li>There is NO WAY to revise a cmapaign once it starts and you must wait until the campaign fails (a month later) to end it. </li><li>There is no EASY way for a participant to contribute more than a single incremental contribution. Organizers should be able to set a contribution scale ($20, $50, $100, $250) </li><li>There is no AUTOMATED reminder that a campaign is coming to an end Basically every week there should be an update, with a link to notifyu more people about the funable campaign. So if the campaign is not meeting its goal, people who have already signed up can get informed in a passive way and choose to tell others to make a donation. </li><li>There is no way to scale back a goal. In many cases of group purchasing it is probably that you will know exactly what the item you want to buy costs, but what if you find one online for half the price (let say it is a pottery wheel, now instead of costing $1000 it costs $500), the organizer cannot revise the goal down to this new price, and if the $1000 goal is not met, the organizer has to start all over again. in the...

<p>With my impending departure from the 9 to 5 office environment I have been thinking alot about my telecommunications infrastructure<br /> 1) Home Phone<br /> 2) Cell Phone<br /> 3) Cable Internet (with Wifi)<br /> 4) Aim<br /> 5) Skype (text, and I am getting a headset for voice)</p> <p>I just ordered a new Motorola Razr3 from Cingular (free with rebate!) I am preparing to drop Nextel at the end of the summer.</p> <p>I am thinking of adding VOIP (Vonage) to the list of options to reduce the cost of my transcontinental daytime calling.</p> <p>What issues does all this raise? So many phone numbers! Noel just helped me work through a bit of a plan to set up fwdding from one to another:<br /> 1) Voip Number becomes primary number (probably my current cell #)<br /> 2) Voip fwds to cell and/or home thus reducing cell minutes used<br /> 3) Voip used for VM (which emails messages to special account that also sends a txt msg to cell phone)</p> <p>Steps I need to take:<br /> Lower total cost of RCN Cable Internet Phone service<br /> Figure out appropriate plan for VOIP service</p> <p>Anyone have any thoughts? Suggestions,...
