With the crazy gift-giving season coming up and most of us short on funds, E-Verse is sharing your concerns by offering up a Top 5 Tech Gifts (that may or may not be useful or worth the money) for less than $100.
5. Logitech Portable Lapdesk – It may be called a laptop but that doesn’t mean that you have to have OK with it scalding your goodies. Prevent those sweat marks or thigh burns with this handy little table. $30
4. WikiReader – The poor persons Kindle, this $99 bad boy may look like a waste of money for yet another thing to carry around but it gives you a direct line to information contained in Wikipedia! How amazing is that? I mean it’s Wikipedia people! Browse 3 million topics! That’s awesome! Oh c’mon, fork out the extra dough for the Kindle at $259.
3. Target Remote Control Gift Card – So Target has a knack for rolling out pretty interesting Gift Certificates (anyone remember the Camera/Gift Card that flew off the shelves last year?) Well they’ve got a new gizmo so you can satisfy your friends’ gadget needs as well as giving you the added bonus of not have to decide what to actually get them. Surely a win-win. $100
2. Dream Cheeky USB Fridge – Need to keep a coldie handy at all times to help either quench the thirst or settle the nerves after tweeting all day, check out the Dream Cheeky USB fridge. Simply plug in to your USB port and within 5 minutes it’s apparently cold enough to keep that coldie, cold. $25.
1. Swissflash Army Knife – File your nails, jot down a haiku, shine a light in other people’s eyes and then illegally transfer secure data from your mates computer with this awesome all-in-one device. From $39.99
BONUS
Drum T-Shirt – Impress the ladies by banging on your chest! Off to play a gig but forgot your kit? This t-shirt is for you. Or if banging on your chest causes bruising, maybe the finger drums.

Otherwise I might be tempted by this new rip-off scheme…
Hi Counsel.
My name is Shih Dunson. I am contacting your firm in regards to a divorce settlement with my ex husband (David G. Dunson) who resides in your jurisdiction. I am currently on assignment in South Korea. We had an out of court agreement (Collaborative Law Agreement) for him to pay
$ 848,900.00 plus legal fees. He has only paid me $ 64,000.
I am hereby seeking your firm to assist in collecting the balance from
him. He has agreed already to pay me the balance but it is my belief that
a Law firm like yours is needed to help me collect payment from my
ex-husband or litigate this matter if he fails to pay as promised.
Sincerely,
Shih Dunson.

Most of you should remember the whole “set it and forget it” slogan that was used in infomercials for the Showtime Rotisserie. This is fine for a Rotisserie, particularly if it is able to turn off automatically but it is rarely a good option for a website. We increasingly come across websites that simply sit around, waiting. Waiting to not be updated mostly.
I recently came across an interesting statistic from ipressroom.com that cited:
“Social Media Is Prioritized and Utilized More Than Managing the Company’s Website Content”
This is despite the fact that users trust a website more than they trust Social Media. So why would a company spend greater time and resources on Social Media than their own website? Because Social Media is new? My best guess is that there is less of a barrier of entry. How much easier is it to set up a twitter account as opposed to updating a website or modifying code for SEO. I can tell you that our most successful clients are those who put a lot of effort and energy into their actual websites. They are ones who understand prioritizing their Internet Marketing. So stop ignoring your website. Hopefully you spent a decent amount of money on it, take advantage of it and leverage what you’ve got.
