pet peeve!

I'm looking at the SitePal website, http://www.sitepal.com/ and am reminded of many of the insurance company websites I have to visit for our insurance business. My current pet peeve is to be greeted by one of these animated people talking to me when I innocently visit the website to check on commission payments, etc. I always quickly turn off the volume or click the "quit" button to disable the talking harrasser!

yahoo travel

Yahoo has a great Travel Planner website, http://travel.yahoo.com/trip. You can plan all your stops, activities, lodging, etc. This information can be made public or kept private. You can add pictures and tags to the information. Yahoo gives you ideas about restaurants and businesses to visit, but you can also add any that aren't listed. The site allows you to keep track of all you past trips and future travel plans. Great website. I'm planning a trip to the Oregon coast next summer and was able to add the property management guy we use and our favorite coffee shop to the Yahoo business listings.
