1. Attn: Did AOL sell your information?

The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee met recently, with possible 'spam' legislation the topic of discussion. Ted Leonsis, Vice Chairman of AOL was present, as was self-confessed mass spammer Ronald Scelson.

During the hearing, Ronald Scelson claimed that AOL sold him the company's entire customer directory. Leonsis (remember he's the vice chairman of AOL) when given the opportunity to deny Scelson's statement he did NOT deny it.

4. PayCycle

We've been using PayCycle for my own payroll checks since September 2002 and we couldn't be more pleased with them and their services.

They're nothing like ADP and much less expensive too! There are two plans, one is $19.99 and the other is $39.99, per month. Some folks say "But that's an additional $20 (or $40) that I'll be spending monthly to do my payroll.".

Those folks would be right if there wasn't the fact of how quickly you get your payroll done. I'm not kidding when I say that from start to finish it'll take you only 5 minutes to do your payroll.

But, anyone who has done payroll knows that that just isn't possible, there's no way a person can get their payroll done in 5 minutes, right? Wrong!

I go to the PayCycle website and sign in. From there I can create my paycheck by clicking just ONE link! I can print out my paycheck onto a company check or I can use automatic deposit.

The PayCycle system does all of the calculations needed when processing paychecks. It then creates paychecks using the calculations, and you can print those paychecks on your own checks on your own printer (or by hand if that's how you do it).

Not only that but it also prefills all of your payroll tax forms for you to print and sign and mail to the tax authorities with your payment due. We are actually doing our filings and payments online through PayCycle.

No printing of checks or forms, no stuffing the envelope, no performing the ever-dreaded task of 'licking the envelope flap', and no stamps!

It's all done instantaneously, online! Follow this link to read more and check out their special one month free trial. Use it for a month, if you don't like it you don't pay for it, it's that simple! :)

Check it out soon and before you know it you'll no longer dread having to do the payroll... I know I don't anymore...

ps: They service all 50 states and the DC !!
