        <summary>Flip a lever on the sink, and I can catch a stream of clean, cool drinking water whenever I'm a little thirsty. So can you more than likely.

It's such a small act, that I totally forget how important it is to my health and wealth. I'm very fortunate to be able to do this because only 1 in 6 people in the world have access to clean water!

I'm also thankful for Luke Hutcherson who just returned from a village in Ghana where he and a small crew implemented a McGuire Purifier to bring pure water to thousands of people.</summary>

        <summary>The keynote speaker was Kevin Maney, associate editor of Conde Nast publications, author and former USA Today technology columnist for 22 years.

He specializes in "what's next in technology".

I was really impressed with his talk...because he was bringing a lot of what we already know as information marketers to the suit-and-tie CIOs of the top Alabama corporations.

The big news to this crowd was social networking (such as Facebook and MySpace) My latest favorite is Ning (click on the badge below) because it's about building your own niche social network.</summary>

        <summary>Willie Crawford's most productive report ever...and it's only $5. In this quick report, he outlines how to create really fast money in 24 hours, revealing a virtual blueprint for fast cash. I loved it and you will too.

But in my haste to get the word out, I forgot to tell folks about the case study from one of Willie's readers who immediately took action and created more than $1000 in cash to his PayPal account in 24 hours.</summary>

        <summary>Last weekend, I attended the first Internet Success System Gold Member retreat in a beautiful North Georgia mountain setting. Because we're gold members, the only cost was expenses of the lodging. (Membership has its priviledges!)

I've been to three previous ISS seminars. They're excellent info-packed events unlike any other. Mark Hendricks, the founder and ringleader, started this several years ago with just a few members and a simple vision of being of service. Now, it's grown to hundreds.

The gold membership has become extended family of a couple of dozen marketers involved in different aspects of doing business online. And the really cool thing is that each of us are leveraging the other members' specializations.</summary>
