It is an idea who’s time has come: SPAGG.com
With the revitalization of the inner cities and old buildings as ” industrial lofts”, the green movement, and the economy and the slow economic recovery of late, the timing for SPAGG.com is prefect:
Spagg.com Network – the first place where private owners can securely rent their cars to make extra money. Owners and renters meet for pickup and drop off – it is perfect. It cuts out the middlemen completely, and utilizing today’s social network technology and mobile access to the best advantage of car owners who need to offset costs, the environment we all live in, the reduction of congestion and parking issues, the reduction of dependence on foreign oil: everybody wins on this one!
Internet start-up offers two $50,000 prizes for Beta Testers: we did this elaborate site in 60 days!
It was an Idea who’s time had come. I was so impressed with our first Bloblive we attended in Los Angeles.
But let me back up: I should start by giving you a little back round on myself: My name is Israel Rothman: I am a serial Entrepreneur, who has made, then lost over $8000,000.00 in the last ten years; but this is not about me, it is about the birth of the Internet, the development of a good idea, and about the beginning of a new era in human history:
It has been my honor to be part of this story, to lose everything twice in that time, and to be able to start all over again so soon.
This story is about cyberspace, and the Internet, and the future of the human race: it is about the technological changes that are changing the world completely, and so quickly that almost nobody sees where it is going, yet we all must try to jump in before it passes us by.
But more than anything else, this is ta story about change: the story of the evolution of an inspiration into a thought, then an idea into a reality, and then a website, and then a business, and then a convention. It is about users, and content, and websites, and humans, and machines. It is about collaboration, in person, remotely, and from across the world. This is the true story of Ideapals.org, and Moviepals.org, and many companies with many names. This is our story, and your story, and the story of what is to come: and, only because I am alive during this time too with you, parts of it are also my story.
I hope you enjoy this story, that you are inspired by the possibilities that have never existed before: I hope you participate, and innovate, and grow with us as you read it. But most of all I hope that it makes you think: because that is where everything begins, with a thought (what we call a spark), then an idea, then action, then collaboration….
This is the story of how Goerge Orwell’s vision of a future with the technology that we already have was exactly backwards: of how it is the least among us who have been empowered the most, of how there is no Big Brother, only us users, and playing on a more and more level playing field every day: where everyone, regardless of race, religion, or even location will have an equal chance to participate, and to communicate, and to learn, and to grow, and to build.
Living in what seemed to me like a frat house after the end of my 28 year marriage was very uncomfortable for me: so I wanted to use every opportunity possible to get out and to meet some new clients: having had mostly Realtor and Real Estate as clients had backfired terribly: I had made the most common mistake ever: under-capitalization: with no office, no employees, and almost no overhead at all I had thought I could do it without investors this time: then this bad economy hit, and all my Real estate clients stopped buying, and stopped paying: my son and I went from first year revenues of $779 in 2007 to almost nothing at all. The ex could not take it again, so here I was in Ventura, where I had no contacts, no clients, and almost no money, in the worst economy since the 1980’s.
So I looked online and found the ‘open mic’ meeting at Bloblive.com on Meetup.com (a social networking website), was taking place in Santa Monica that evening.

It is all over but the crying LOL: now, what niche will you race to?!
I hired Israel Rothman about two months ago to help me build a blog site and get it ranking well. I have worked as a chiropractor in Santa Barbara for nearly ten years but I couldn’t find my old website on Google unless I Googled my name. Israel told me what to do and worked his magic and after about a month and a half I checked on Google and I was number one for ‘Santa Barbara Chiropractor’! That ranking seems to come and go at the moment but I know in a very short time it will be permanent. I am starting to get some business from the web where I almost never did before. Thank you Israel!
Hesu Whitten DC
He comes up as half the page on Santa Barbara Holistic doctor and many others.
I will automate my website with a modern content management system, so that I can edit and change everything at will without help- I will provide more robust ways for my website visitors to subscribe to my feeds, by pushing a button to add to igoogle, myyahoo, facebook, myspace…
- I will do a good job of being consistent and posting at my blog on my own domain at least once per week so that the robots get used to spidering my site regularly
- I will stop spreading around duplicate spam, and I will concentrate on only posting original content, with real research, quotes of statistics, and my commentary mixed in
- I will stop making excuses for my cousin Vinny who never got any results for me, and for my old webmaster, and I will not believe the same old excuses
- I will stop getting advice from people who are protecting an outdated and limited skill-set
- I will make all my marketing go together, website, print, everything so that I look like I am a professional who knows what I am doing
- I will stop losing thousands trying to save hundreds doing everything myself: I will get some professional help, or…
- I will at least read this free online book and learn how to do all these things myself: http://socialmediasystems.com/rothmanguide/

Dr. Hesu Whitten Has Taken Over His Website: Now it is a Community Resource Where He Shares His Knowledge with the World
I had a special place in my heart for what Dr. Hesu Whitten does:
I was hit by a log in Forks, Washington when I was 22, and it almost killed me. It broke all of my ribs, and, although I did not know it at the time, my back. When my ribs healed months later I knew there was something wrong with my back, but it had healed wrong. When it went completely out, to where I could not sit up without my groin aching, I was told that at best I would be able to get around, and would probably be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life. They would need to re-break my back, a compaction had healed wrong right between my shoulder blades. I told them I would have the operation when I had nothing to lose, as I had no insurance that would cover a previous injury, even though my back had gone out on a construction job.
I ignored the pain, started a sales career, and eventually by body fused itself. It took 15 years for the pain to stop, but now I can lift weights and do all the things that I used to do. The point is that I know it to be a fact personally that the body can and will heal itself, and that main-stream medicine is not always correct. I remember when they told us all to use Margarine. I did not do that either, and I have already outlived my parents by 9 years; I smoked 2 and 1/2 packs per day for 22 years before I quit at 37, and I can run, and I have no heart problems.
Holistic medicine can and does cure problems that regular Doctors do not know how to cure, and they, like any business, will protect outdated skill sets to earn a living. When you ad to this the high opportunity costs of becoming a medical doctor, it is no wonder that misdiagnosis, and a pragmatism for what they know (what they learned in school and may be outdated) is not always what is best for the patient, in this case, me.
So now, thanks to my bad experiences and those of others, who have had to find a better way than what their Doctor was telling them because their options were simply unacceptable, there is http://sbholistic.info:
I will live to 100 years old: and there is a community resource to help educate the world about Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Kinesiologist, Holistic Doctors, and natural remedies of all kinds being offered online, with basic information and testimonials like mine to reach people in similar critical need to inform them of the alternatives to what they are being told by well meaning specialists who have spent their whole life in school learning the outdated methods they sell.
Just as anyone who had high chance of heart attack was almost insuring themselves to have one by taking doctors’ advice and using saturated fat instead of butter in the eighties; the patient of any kind of any illness, and especially a back problem that may heal itself, like mine, owes it to his or herself to get a second opinion form a Holistic Doctor and Chiropractor like Dr. Hesu Whitten in Santa Barbara California, before accpeting what they are being told by main-stream medicine, which is funded largely by drug companies and other large businesses that exist mainly for profit.

2010 Managing over a thousand spams, newsletter, CRM, for FREE
Gmail has industrial strength spam filters, and can be uses to check all of your pop accounts. You can also then check this ‘filtered’ spam-less mail from your Outlook. I keep Gmail open in FireFox, and chat with technology partners while I am notified of incoming mail. I then occasionally download the remaining spam free mail to my Outlook, as redundant backup, and to allow robust followup options, including my linked-in signature: below; I export all my email lists from Outlook, and import them into my triple opt-in PHP list Server:
http://rothmanmarketing.com/lists/
Which is free software installed on my site to build my triple opt-in subscription list (nearly 10,000 and growing now)
I can also occasionally insert card-scan email lists easily into my op-tin-programming to build the list.
T hese guys deserve credit; this theme: Suffusion WordPress theme by Sayontan Sinha is the best, most user friendly, feature rich, customizable theme I have found: I have just changed mine to this one instead of the one I built from scratch, and I will be using this one for most WordPress setups.
In Two and a half hours I have done all three of these sites from scratch using this theme, which also allows for different numbers of columns, different widget areas, and any other modification you like, with check boxes that activate built-in style sheet and a blank CSS that automatically overrides the others:
You can change sizes, numbers, and colors of sidebars, widgets, components with the checking of a box, wonderful time saver.
For once, my son, Solomon Rothman, gets to say “I told you so”: This is the official launch now of the new invention: Collaborative Digital Entertainment Production and Distribution: moviepals.org:
Sure you can do your own videos, virtual tours, but can you so this:
Or how about this:
