Primary marketCybertips: Database Search Magic
Need to do a search? Searchsystems.net is the biggest free database of powerful information for real estate owners, investors or agents I"ve yet to find on the Web. In the
spirit of keeping you up to date with the latest and greatest I revisited
this magical place and found that these folks just made this free service
even more useful by adding the magic of the Google site search function,
making this well-organized free aggregation of over 4000 databases even
more useful!
Now you can track down those assessors’ maps in Los Angeles, the state
government phone directory in Montana and tons of other useful database
information with a lot more pinpoint ease!
Re-route your e-mail
Most of the time I try to concentrate on Internet tools that are free (Or at least
free at press time!). Occasionally a service that has a modest cost attached stands out and warrants mention.
Re-route.com is one of those.
These clever folks have come up with a way to redirect your e-mail when you
are changing Internet Service Providers and have to change your e-mail
address. Their service forwards messages sent to your old address to your
new address providing a smooth transition from one ISP to another.
When they forward a message to your new address, they also deliver a
message to the original sender explaining that the message was forwarded.
With your permission, they also include your new e-mail address to inform
your contacts of your new address.
This service becomes particularly valuable when you change from an ISP that
does not provide forwarding services. And the good news is - it works for AOL accounts!
e-Mail on the go with ease
Feel tied to your laptop when you"re mobile? Mail2web.com offers a way to move about the city or the planet and handle your e-mail without worrying about the weight or safety
of your equipment!
Unlike other services like Hotmail or Yahoo these folks let you use your
present e-mail account. You simply enter your e-mail address and password and
access your inbox. You can then read, reply and forward your messages. You
can even delete large attachments without first downloading them!
No need to register. Nothing to download. You can use this service
anonymously. And the service is free! Great way to stay in touch and still
travel light!
