A tweet a day keeps heartache away

Judy McGuire, in the article “Awful Valentine’s Day – how to avoid it” (for The Frisky and featured on CNN), wises states the following:

If your boyfriend forgets what day it is, you have nobody but yourself to blame. Do you know when the World Series is? Probably not. If you want your man to remember something, remind him.

It’s good advice. As much as women would like to think that men have a built-in radar for Valentine’s Day, there is a thriving market for last minute flowers and candy. The solution? Drop hints early and widely. Don’t just rely on face-to-face conversations, exploit Twitter and Facebook.

A tweet a day can keep you from being disappointed on the big day.

Consumer Reports' Top Products of 2008

Consumer Reports – that dedicated bastion of relentless testing – has released their annual list of this year’s top 100 products.

While you can’t get the full list without subscribing, they’ve been kind enough to release a taste – providing you with ten items to help jump start your gift giving ideas. Click here to see the list.

Not surprising, the small sampling contained one digital picture frame (the Samsung SPF-83V Digital Photo Frame). At least two of my friends are buying digital picture frames this holiday season and it seems safe to say that the popularity of digital picture frames is staying strong.

Need a little help choosing which frame to buy? Consumer Reports has a little advice.
