Searching for the best products for consumers

Listen up if you care about getting good deals on products such as Frigidaire Dishwashers...

Is summer the biggest time to buy refrigerators? According to these guys it is... Retailers make profits during this time, because as the temperature rises, refrigerators have to work much harder to stay cool. So refrigerator compressors break down faster. And the older the processor, the more likely it is to break down. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on repairs, a lot of consumers will just replace the entire refrigerator instead.

But nowadays, where do people, or "consumers", look first when they research a new fridge or other big-time appliance they need? Simple. Online. It is very likely that a good amount of time will be spent researching online. Up to 75%(...that's right...75%) of big-ticket consumer will do all of the research on their respective products online, but then 90% of those end up making their final purchases offline at a retailer that's local. Now, I ain't saying that this is bad, but you can see the role online product research has played in the current consumer market. It starts with search engines, but these engines are typically unable to find AND deliver the results that show you the exact local store with the exact product you want. But now, there is Krillion. And guess what? They solve this problem. They have something called the Krillion Localization Engine™. It scans the Web to find, integrate and present actionable local search results for the consumer who is ready to buy now! Isn't that awesome? I think it is. Not to mention that it launched in February 2007 (which means it's pretty new, relatively speaking) and has generated over 275 million pages of search results for local product information for major appliances. This hasn't been possible through search engines in the past...but now it is.

I think the best part though, is that Krillion delivers these results, divided into different categories. Here are those categories, below:

The first category is in major appliances: refrigerators, ovens, ranges, washers and dryers, and dishwashers.

Starting in July, Krillion will deliver search results for additional categories such as flat panel TVs, lawn and garden, seasonal appliances and others.

They also want to find and produce search results for national brands that are sold by national and regional “big box” retailers, that can actually be used efficiently by the consumer. I believe the average consumer will find Krillion's new search engine very useful.

In 1972, a blogger was born

A lot of people don't realize this either, but I just made up that last blog about working for the Dallas Mavericks. I don't. I actually live in Seattle, where I was born in 1972 and new that I'd grow up to be a blogger--even though it, nor the internet, existed back then. Heck, I don't even think computers could do shit except basic addition and subtraction. What a time I chose to be born. But now, my destiny as a blogger has been realized, and I'm partying like the man I know I am: A blogger man.

I work for the Dallas Mavericks

A lot of people don't realize this, but, I run this Chicago Bulls blog as a joke. I'm actually an administrative assistant to Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks organization. I run this blog to make it look like the Chicago Bulls have retarded fans on the internet, when, in reality, they have some of the smartest, basketball-savvy fans in the history of the game. (Post-Jordan of course.) So that's why I'm here--it's all one big, unfunny joke.

American Idol not on Bulls

Antonella Barba was voted off American Idol tonight, but we’ll be seeing and hearing more from her for sure. She has two immediate offers, one to host a Girls Gone Wild video, and the other is to become SugarDVD’s spokesperson. Everyone knew she couldn’t sing, and wouldn’t last, but that show has helped her launch a career. I hope she signs a lot of deals quick, because that fame can fade fast.

Human Socially

The Humane Society of the United States is using Brit's purchase of her new puppy, as a platform to inform people of the evils of pet stores. In a press release, the Society's director of outreach for companion animals said: "Most dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills -- factory-like facilities, churning out purebred and “designer” puppies in large numbers...Every time someone purchases a dog from a pet store, they risk perpetuating the horrendous business of puppy mills.”

Okay, I like puppies just as much as the next guy, but even I'm feeling bad for Britney in this situation. Give the girl a break! She bought her kids a dog and now she's the poster child for animal cruelty? Hey, Humane Society, speaking of kicking a dog when they're down.

Check out Multivend

You want to be your own boss? Check out multivend.

They were established in good ol' 1990. And since then, they have become one of the leading bulk candy vending machine manufacturers in the U.S.! Pretty sweet, right? In more ways than one, of course. They exclusively manufacture the Vendstar 3000. This provides a unique opportunity. Financial freedom...for individuals and entrepreneurs. You can own your own vending business through Multivend! They are the world’s largest bulk vending machine company. And now you...yes, you...can join in this rich tradition that Americans have enjoyed for over 100 years!

But there's more... They have established a worldwide presence, and welcomed almost 9,000 members to their family since 2003! And the numbers are growing, folks. Customers are finding more than enough room. The demand is rising, and they are expanding their routes and territories. And bulk vending machines are a 100% cash business! Up to an 80% profit margin! Are you kidding me!? And...you can work from home and set your own hours! They recently added a new product..the Vendstar EZ-Count® Meter. What does it do? It allows the vendor to derive exact collection amounts from each machine by digitally updating the total quarters accepted. Technology at it's best. And they also came out with a 1" wheel that allows the Vendstar 3000 machine to dispense one inch gumballs and toy capsules! So now you vendors out there can expand the market, and what you can offer. Awesome! Check out Multivend!

Britney on the Bulls?

Britney on the Bulls?

Yes, you heard me! Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are finally officially divorced as of TODAY. The alamony agreement will not be made public, unless there is an enforcement issue going on.

The attorney said that "Most of that tracks the prenup".

Commissioner Scott Gordon said, "The best interests of the children could be harmed" if the arrangement were not sealed.

I'm glad all this drama is over. I'm just waiting for Britney Spears' new album… she's such a fantastic and multi-talented singer and writer and EVERYTHING OH MY GOD! haha.

Interest Sparking

The people continued to spark my interest. The guy at the end of my bed had his own special nurse who watched him as he slept. That was nice, I thought. Yeah, no, he was not allowed to be left unattended at any time because he was a "flight risk." Great. When this guy wakes up I envision him just stabbing me over and over again. However, the guy in the bed next to him was pretty nice. He sat up and started talking to me. That was nice. I felt good that I was making a new friend. We chatted for a few minutes until we were rudely interrupted by the nurse, doctor, and two police officers that went up to his bed and were yelling that this patient had lied to them. Hmmm. What had my new friend done? Well apparently he lied about some medication that he was on and how he was a patient who escaped from some mental institution.

Andres Nocioni walks to training camp, says cars are for pussies

In an unrelated story to that retarded blog I just wrote about Ben Gordon's problem with people saying "per se", Andres Nocioni will be walking every day to training camp this Fall. Cars? "Not for me. Yo estoy no puse," says Nocioni. Or not. Or maybe it'd be a lot cooler if he did.

In other news, Luol Deng is rumored to be moonlighting as a superhero, fighting crime on the Windy City streets at night. No confirmation on whether or not this is true though.

A message from Ben Gordon

When people use the expression "per se" a lot. Why do they use it, per se, a lot? I don't know. It doesn't make you sound smart, because a lot of people use "per se", but they think it's spelled out at "per say". They don't even know how to spell their "exclusive" vocabulary terms. Dumb.

Tom Brady to Randy Moss

An awesome combination. A very real sensation. That rhymed...but was pretty stupid.

Wouldn't it be sweet if the Chicago Bulls had a combination that ridiculous? I mean, together, the whole team is just as awesome, but damn, Tom Brady to Randy Moss. Unbelievable. That's all I've got to say. Unbelievable. Vague. Broad.
