Daily Free Time Waster

You have always be told that wasting time is a bad thing, right? Personally, I think we are overly concerned with productivity. We need to relax and spend some time just having fun and exploring new things just for the sake of our curiosity.

Come on and waste some time

Free Lanyard

Wednesday December 3, 2008
IndieVizuals is a start-up educational video company where kids ages 8 - 17 can create and share videos. They a planning to have an online store and are promoting that and the site by giving away free promotional lanyards.

Their privacy policy says that they will share you information with other companies, but that is contradicted on the submission form by a statement that they will not share it. It sounds like time to use a disposable email address to me.

Free WordPress and Web Themes

Monday December 1, 2008
For those of you who have or are planning to start a Web site and/or a WordPress blog, I've created coordinated Web site and blog templates. You are free to use either of them or use them together if you want to integrate a standard Web site and a blog.

You may use the free themes on commercial or personal sites as long as you leave the Freebies link intact and only use them on family friendly sites.

Let me know if you like the themes and would like me to provide more by posting a comment. You can even suggest color schemes and layouts and you may see your requests in future free themes.

Free Schick Quattro Titanium Razor

Sunday November 30, 2008
Have you ever wondered why companies give things away for free? It's usually not because the CEO is overly generous or because the chief financial officer thinks they have too much cash on their balance sheet. If it is a free sample that is being given away, the obvious motive is to get people to try the product in hopes they will become regular customers. The other motivation is to generate buzz. In the marketing field buzz is highly prized because it means people are talking about the product and sharing it with their friends or linking to it on the Internet.

Both of those motives also apply to the this free offer. However, for razors there is another special motive that is described by a an old saying. They are literally giving away the razors to sell the blades. Around the year 1900, another razor company, Gillette created a new kind of razor that used disposable blades. They had a hard time selling people on the idea until they realized that if they gave the razors away people would buy the blades so they could keep using their free razor.

You can request a free razor when you fill out the form.
