Review Your “Date” – Not Your Washing Machine
Saturday
Feb 6, 2010
Everywhere you go to look online today, there's a review site for different products online. If you type in the word "review" on Google, anything from washing machines, new cars, or even the local "greasy spoon restaurant", you will find some type of "review" about the product, movie, etc., online. If someone is eating, buying or trying to get entertained somehow, you can bet there is some internet "guru" out there with his pen in his hand, and ready to write some type of review, for posting on the internet or local newspaper.
Trust me, it gets better...
If you were to ask any internet marketer, "What is the best type of site to market on the internet?" Nine out of ten would tell you that a website that includes reviews of products, services, or entertainment, will out-perform almost any other type of new site, almost every time.
But here is what I would like to ask you...
If we like reviews so much, why can't we review each other? That's right, I said, review each other. why not put it all out there "on the line" and let the pieces fall where they may, especially when dating?
It's a "tell all" world now right?
Why not tell the truth about each other? I believe it will only make us better daters and companions. And who knows, chivalry may even make a comeback.Almost all women and men, when asked, would prefer to have some of the Chivalry and Romance back in their dating lives. now don't get me wrong, I don't believe we have to go back to the nineteen twenties, but to have some more respect and chivalry along with good manners, could only be a good thing, in my opinion.
Here's what I propose...
Wouldn't it be nice if you could read a person's reviews before you went out on a "hell date" and maybe avoid it all together. You know the ones I'm talking about:
1. The one where Guy that never Shows Up or is 30 minutes late for no good reason.2. The "Oops, I left my manners at home Guy", and decided to embarrass the hell out of you this evening, dude.3. Or the "I'm going to be rude and not call you back, guy"4. And maybe, The guy with the overblown ego that pays little or no attention to you at all.
1. The Girl who never pays attention to you, and acts bored to tears.2. The Girl who decides talk to her friends on her cell phone, while you're trying to make a conversation3. The Girl who decide to order Lobster and Steak on the first date4. The Girl who is always talking about her old boyfriend.
These of course are all "Hell Dates" and they should be exposed...
These are the kind of dates I would like to see reviewed. I would like nothing better than to see Man's picture Painted on a Website, stamped, "Jerk from Dallas". Or a girls pictures Stamped "Boring" in big letter so that I don't have to waste my time.
Forget Hot?, or not?, how about Jerk?, or not?, Witch?, or not?, taken out the "b" of course in itch.I say "Expunge the World of Hell Dates", and just maybe,...maybe, maybe, maybe, Chivalry will make a come back...

Review Your "Date" - not Your Washing Machine
Luckily, though, there are plenty of online options for sending faxes, so getting the contract to my client through their preferred method of communication wasn't impossible. it was still time-consuming — I had to print off, sign and scan back in the contract to meet their standards — but I got it done. Here are a few of the more useful virtual fax options available.
- GreenFax: with a send-only service, GreenFax can be an especially cheap option for faxing. while it has a variety of other plans, the send-only option is a pay-as-you-go service, charging 7 cents for the first page of any fax and 5 cents for additional pages. The site also offers international faxing, which can come in handy.
- Drop.io: while it's far more than just a simple faxing service, Drop.io offers the ability to both fax in and out documents you have in your account. The ability to receive faxes is available on both premium and free accounts, while sending is only available for premium accounts. If you only need to receive faxes, Drop.io is a good option, because you can do so for free.
- MyFax: If you need to have a standing fax number and you send or receive a fair number of faxes each month, MyFax offers a good deal. for $10 a month, you get a fax number and the ability to send 100 pages and receive 200 pages. you can even send and receive faxes in your email.
- Popfax: One of the better prices on international faxing is available from Popfax. If you send a lot of faxes overseas, you might consider the site's services. it offers both a per-page rate and plans for sending and receiving faxes.
- RingCentral: In addition to its phone services (see Charlie's review here), RingCentral can send and receive faxes. If you send and receive a lot of faxes (we're talking thousands of faxes per month), the site offers some good deals, as well as a free trial. at this level, it may be cheaper to keep the landline and fax machine, but there are several features that go along with a RingCentral account that can make it worth using the virtual service, like integrating the ability to send faxes with your computer applications.
It's worth noting that plenty of virtual phone systems include faxing in their packages. If you're using such a system to handle your calls already, it's worthwhile checking whether you've got capabilities for faxing built in.
Do you still have a fax machine?
