I may get more value out of Twitter than anyone else on the planet because I use Twitter as a tool—specifically as a marketing tool—for my website Alltop and my book, Reality Check. If the concept of using Twitter in a commercial manner interests you, keep reading. If it doesn’t, then you can continue to send and receive tweets about how cats are rolling over and the line at Starbucks.
When you don't have the cash to hand over to Starbucks for Wi-Fi, there are hundreds of other coffee stores that will offer the same for free. For example, Panera Bread cafes include free Wi-Fi and are increasingly becoming my spot for free Wi-Fi access. Unfortunately, there are times when we won't order a thing from places that provide free Wi-Fi or maybe we'll grab the cheapest thing on the menu. There's one coffe shop out there that's looking to guilt trip Wi-Fi freeloaders into buying something on the menu using Wi-Fi networks.
I have a new Dell laptop, an Inspiron E1505, that has Vista home
premium edition with an intel next-gen wireless n card. I'm
having problems with wireless drops. I'm in an apartment building that
has recently gone wireless. The signal is indicating it's strong, yet
I am dropped back to local access only after about one minute, or
less, on-line. I have no problems connecting, and staying connected, to the internet in a public place,
like Starbucks, so I'm assuming it's an encryption problem, but I'm just not sure. Any ideas?
