I have become a real fan of IntenseDebate very quickly. The idea of merging your content and providing a community based "monitoring" system is really intriguing.

It's getting easier and easier to deliver content to many locations. Creating Good Content will always be a challenge - as it should be.

You hit all the right bullet points with this, really well done.

It's a business, pure and simple. And a business, MLM or not needs to be analyzed and considered like any other business.

As much as we encourage home based businesses and telecommuting through our site Homeshoring.com, this is not for everyone.

In any business you need to ask:

Is the business mode sound?
Are you passionate about the product?
Do you have the discipline to work this over time?
Is the cash flow positive - and worth your time?

Again thanks for the realistic look - finding multiple revenue streams is important. Doing it right is critical.

We need to finally demonstrate leadership in global warming. And funny thing - it will reduce green house gases, and create a whole new, profitable market, that will create jobs, no doubt.

Now add in more and more homeshoring, telecommute, work at home jobs, and we should see a significant reduction in greenhouse gases. This just released study by CISCO is also encouraging.

The United States showing some muscle on a key issue like this - it's very welcome and long overdue.
