If you do have trademark problems with HootSuite, you could also consider using an elephant with a couple small birds on it. Elephants have a symbiotic relationship with a kind of bird that rides around on their backs and provides a valuabl

Amazon Prime is a great service on its face. If you buy from Amazon regularly, it pays for itself, if not in dollars than in convenience. I've been on the fence about readers for a while now. I'm a programmer, but I have a degree in Ameri
