College Tonight Taps JuiceCaster to Strengthen Online Community
College Students Can Share Experiences Instantaneously Using Innovative Mobile Social Networking Service

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) — Juice Wireless, creators of JuiceCaster(tm) — the groundbreaking mobile content-sharing community — today announced that College Tonight(tm), a social networking site dedicated to college students and campus nightlife, will be providing the JuiceCaster service to its members to enrich their college experience.

College Tonight is a social networking mainstay that offers a resource for students and alumni who wish to take advantage of the many social events that happen on and around college campuses. By taking its communities mobile with its agreement with Juice Wireless, College Tonight empowers student members at more than 190 colleges and universities throughout the United States with user-friendly networking and mobile content-sharing tools.

JuiceCaster was the first application to enable users to capture picture and video content on mobile phones and then easily share this content with other JuiceCaster users on their computers or mobile phones. Specifically, a viewer can search for and stream fresh, user-generated videos and pictures directly to a mobile phone.

With its new MediaBox feature, JuiceCaster connects the user’s mobile phone with their entire online life. College Tonight members will be able to easily capture interesting pictures and videos on their cell phone and with one click, post to the JuiceCaster MediaBox on the College Tonight page. Connecting members’ phones to their online life to learn about events, and organize their personal school and social life is a vital, organic, and deeply enriching experience for college students.

“Partnering with College Tonight made perfect sense, as college students use their mobile phones continually throughout the day and night,” said Nick Desai, chairman and co-founder of Juice Wireless. “With JuiceCaster, College Tonight users can share everything that happens instantaneously, the moment it happens with friends and family.”

In addition to MediaBox and its core multimedia mobile blogging capabilities, JuiceCaster offers powerful community and networking features. For example, users can create a self-organizing community for any topic or subject. Additionally, JuiceCaster facilitates user-to-user and user-to-group text messages from their phone or right from the College Tonight website. JuiceCaster also provides user-defined mobile alerts when new JuiceCasts of interest are created and when users of interest are online.

“The JuiceCaster MediaBox feature is a perfect fit for our site, as we are dedicated to offering information about nightlife for college students,” said Zach Suchin, president and CEO of College Tonight. “There’s no better way to share with friends or family members what they are experiencing than through photos and videos taken of the moment, in the moment. Seeing these images of parties and events is a powerful tool for relaying and sharing experiences with friends and encouraging them in turn to take their own photos and videos.”

Good Things To Know About Insurance Brokers

 General  Comments Off on Good Things To Know About Insurance Brokers
May 292021
 

Insurance brokers are the ones who make the process of paying taxes be as easy as possible. A broker is free to represent more than one client at the same time, very much unlike an insurance agent, who usually represents a single carrier.

In order to get help on finding the best plan for your business, a broker who knows the insurance carriers in your area can be very useful. Another reason for using insurance brokers is because their services are free most of the times.

Theoretically, brokers have the goal of giving the clients the best coverage at the lowest price, helping them understand the industry jargon that is most likely to be used in all the contracts and also dealing with the paperwork. They get paid out of the commissions from the carriers directly, instead of charging the clients for the services they provide.

This all works in theory. But in the real world the line between agent and broker can get very thin. The reason for this is the fact that some brokers have special relationships with certain carriers, meaning that they get a higher commission the more business they place and the good agents will often find the best coverage for their clients, even if it is with another carrier.

This switching thing makes it very difficult a task to choose the best broker on the market. The first thing you must find out about them is how they are compensated and if they have any special commission deals with the carriers they are recommending. They can also charge extra over and above the cost of the coverage. Another good thing to know from the start is how many different carriers they represent in a certain market. Should the answer be only a few, that could mean that they are acting more like an agent.

Never keep a broker who will switch your insurance on and on to new carriers, unless you are given the opportunity to save a significant amount of money. The brokers use to do that as when they bring new business to an insurance carrier they are given higher commissions.

So, you have found a good broker! The bad news is that it’s not enough. You will need a broker to specialize in property and casualty, that is workers ‘ compensation and another one to understand everything there is to know about employee benefits, which include health care. There are cases when you may need a third broker that specializes in another field, depending on your business.

All about Independent Insurance Agents

In order to get all the possible clients happy, thousands of agents are being employed by the insurance companies all over the world. These agents help the companies cater on a very personal level to all teh needs a client may have.

The insurance agents are the ones to get from all the details for a certain client. Starting with the lifestyle and ending with all the preferences, the agents will make up an insurance plan and policy for you, that will be based on all these details. These insurance agents are called “producers” because they help a great deal in choosing the best deals in insurance coverage and help customize the product to better suit a client’s needs and budget. That is very much like a personal shopper, as you may say!

Insurances are available in so many kinds and they can be personalized so that everyone can be satisfied. You can make an insurance for automobiles, assets, retirement planning, estate planning, for real property, health and even death. You can even get assistance in building a pension plans for businesses. So, you cannot say that you are not given the opportunity to find out which is the one that you really need.

Insurance agents always specialize in each area and aspect of the insurance products they offer. You will have to get the services of the most efficient insurance agents on the market in order to get the best products available.

The insurance agents come in two kinds: the captive agents and the independent ones. A captive agent is the one who works for only one insurance company and cannot give you information on the other options you may have.

An independent agent offers and sells policies for more than one insurance agency. This last type of agent might be most suitable for a person or for a business, given the multiple insurance needs. From the list of insurance providers and their products an independent agent will offer, you can decide for the best deals around, based on his comparative analyses he will set up for you.

So, you will be provided with all the balanced information on all insurance companies and you will have the freedom to choose from all the policy programs available out there.

The deal you will settle for must by all means be best suited for your business.

Vacation Rentals in Puerto Aventuras

Regular visitors to Puerto Aventuras are downright secretive about it. It’s one of those places that has all the benefits of an amazing coastal vacation (with a bit of Mexican flair) yet it doesn’t have the overzealous party crowd, the trammeled portions of beach or the general sense of being overdone for the sake of not-so-savvy tourists. This perfect combination of refinement and refreshing seclusion makes for suspiciously silent devotees who don’t want this place to be ruined by too much attention, so here’s your chance to understand the real deal about Puerto Aventuras.

Fifty minutes south of Cancun and nestled between the Yucatan Peninsula hotspots of Playa del Carmen and Akumal, Puerto Aventuras sparkles with personality and beauty while providing its guests with an array of engaging activities. The wisest of the wise know that the best way to appreciate everything that’s going on here is to settle into a convenient and private vacation rental. This means that after escaping to a destination that’s tucked away from the main thoroughfare, you can take it to another level by hiding out in your own personal villa or beach house where the reach of noise and technology will not be able to reach you.

Go for utter luxury and rent a penthouse condominium if it’s been a while since your last vacation. Bring your loved ones along, the ones whose faces you don’t get to see enough of these days, and divvy up the bedrooms and bathrooms for a stay that will be comfortable and conducive to bonding. Exploring the beaches, including Fatima Bay, which is just a few steps outside your door will bring everyone together for swimming, suntanning and snorkeling sessions. Since your place is so close, it’ll be easy to return home for a snack or a nap without impeding any one else’s fun, a phenomenon you will come to appreciate. Vacationing with the family often involves much compromise and haggling as far as what to do and when to do it, but this time things will gel pretty easily.

Between sailing, fishing, shopping and tasting the local cuisine it’s possible to stay pretty busy outdoors, and with the game room, patio and nearby swimming pool that come as part of the vacation property deal, the idea of boredom will become a foreign one. Day trips are also possible if you feel like setting out on an adventure. A few miles south is the city of Tulum. The ancient Mayan ruins are a sight to behold, as are the pole flyers that congregate nearby nearly every day. Cozumel is also within a reasonable distance, so scuba divers will want to make the effort to visit this prime diving spot before returning to the safe haven that is Puerto Aventuras.

Vacation rentals sometimes scare travelers who think that this is an expensive route to follow or somehow “too much.” Not so. Travelers of all background are welcomed to take advantage of personalized accommodations and when the preparation process is begun early on, special deals often present themselves. Plus, when traveling with a group of friends or orchestrating a reunion of some kind, when the cost is divided up among everyone then a fabulous property can become a real bargain. It’s at least worth a look, so go online to investigate the Puerto Aventuras Vacation Rentals and don’t be surprised if you fall in love with one.

Before you know it, you just might be one of those people who come back from Puerto Aventuras with an inner glow and tight lips; you’ll have discovered a place that made you happy, and you don’t want the secret to spread too far.

Holiday Travel Tips; Planning Ahead

 General  Comments Off on Holiday Travel Tips; Planning Ahead

Air travel is expensive. But I’m not telling you something you don’t already know. There are many ways to save money on air travel – some of them will save you a little, some will save you a lot. Before you book your next trip, see if any of these money savings tips are options for you.


    Consider flying out of another airport. Sometimes the nearest airport does not have the best rates. Checking the rates at one or two of the next nearest airportsmay yield better airfare rates than the airport that is closest to you. It may be worth it to travel an extra hour to the airport to save hundreds of dollars.
    If you have a trip planned for the future, butyou aren’t ready to order your tickets yet, sign up for e-mail alerts from all of the airlines that fly from the airport(s) near you to your destination. You never know when an airline may be running a special to your exact destination.

    If you are ready to order your tickets, order them as far in advance as possible. The cheapest airfares sell out quickly. The closer to the flight you buy your tickets; the more expensive the tickets are likely to be. This is especially true around the holidays.

    If you are booking travel during the holidays, consider flying on the holiday itself. The days prior to a holiday, airfares can be the highest they are all year. If you can fly on the day of the holiday, you can get some of the lowest airfares of the year. If you do decide to book on the holiday, try to book as early in the day as possible in case there are any delays so you don’t miss the holiday festivities once you get to your destination.

    If you are phoning the airline directly for your tickets, ask for the cheapest fare, not just the fare for coach. There may be a cheaper fare in a better seat, but you’ll never know if you don’t ask.

    Fly on the off days. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and sometimes Saturday are considered the off days (unless it’s around a holiday). If you can fly to and from your destination on those days, you are much more likely to get cheaper flights.

    Check out the fares on red-eye flights. Those flights don’t sell out as quickly as other flights and therefore may have less expensive fares. Sure, if money were no object, the red-eye probably wouldn’t be your first choice, but then again you may sleep your way through the whole flight. That’s always a good way to spend a flight. And if you combine flying on the off days with flying a red-eye on an off day, you may get a real deal.

    Do your homework by comparing rates on the different websites. Travelocity, Priceline, Expedia, Orbitz, Cheap Tickets and many other websites have discounted airline tickets as well as discounts on hotels, car rentals, and other things related to travel. Take the time to check out the rates for each website each time you book your travel.

    While you are doing your homework, don’t forget to check out the airline’s websites. Sometimes the airline’s websites have even better deals than the discount sites. All this homework takes some time, but it will pay off in the end with big savings.

    Go outside your comfort zone. You may be used to always flying the same big airline, but if you consider one of the newer smaller airlines, you may be surprised at the savings you can grab.

    Before you book your tickets, make sure that the price you have includes all fees and taxes. If you’re not getting the full price of the tickets including fees and taxes, you may not actually be booking the least expensive airfare.

Now that you’ve saved money on your airfare, there are some things that you can do to help save money in other areas of your flight.


    Find out what the maximum luggage weight is for the airline you are traveling, and make sure you don’t exceed it. If you check in luggage that is over the weight limit, the airline can charge you a fee for each bag that is over the limit.

    If you are driving to the airport, plan to leave early enough so that you can park at one of the off site parking facilities that are close to the airport.

    Ifyou’ve got a college age niece or nephew, next door neighbor or someone in that age range who lives nearby ask them to drive you to and from the airport. You can pay them $25 each way and save a bundle on airport parking, and get door to door service to the airport.

    Take your own snacks. If your airline does serve food, they may charge for it, and chances are it won’t be very good. You also won’t be tempted to pay the high price for the snacks you buy at the concessions after security because you’ll already have what you’ll need on the plane.

    Same goes for your reading materials. Bring your own that you already have at home instead of buying them from the airport stores. A flight is the perfect time to read that book you’ve been meaning to read.
