My friend Srirup invited me to a “free lunch” (the cynic in me knows nothing is free). Ultimately the cost of this lunch was my time for 20 minutes to listen to a sales pitch, and me taking (or not) a follow up call. Im not going to do business with Ameriprise because of the lunch.

Going has a facebook application called Naughty Gifts. At first they were unsure if they wanted to associate their brand with the application. Now they’ve gone full out!

At a secret part of the website, only found by searching for “esavers greyhound” on google, you can find cheap fares for greyhound to NYC.
