LetsBuyIt Blog

In recent years we have seen technology soar, providing us with all kinds of electronic devices that aid in the living of our day-to-day lives. None, in my opinion has been so influential as the mobile phone. Since the first mobile was released in the early 1970′s, mobile technology has advanced to an extreme. The once brick-like phones that had to be carried in brief cases are now so small and light that they can be worn on a belt, in your jeans pocket or in a dainty, evening clutch-bag with no bother and we at Letsbuyit.co.uk never fail to be impressed!

In the last year, we have seen this amazing technology progress even further. The introduction of social networking on the mobile phone has exploded! Now when you’re sat on the bus, at a friend’s house or pretending to send an ‘important email’, you can be tweeting, facebooking, myspacing, and all the other ings from your mobile! And with the introduction of android technology, whereby you can install apps on your phone, you really can take procrastination to the next level! We love it!

So, as a homage to the mobile Gods of Samsung, Motorola, Apple and many more we have put together 15 of the very BEST smartphones you can get your hands on to have you kitted out with technology that has literally just been invented! Pretty cool eh! And what’s more is that Letsbuyit.co.uk is an entirely impartial site meaning these products have been hand-picked on their merits to ensure you that you get the best brand rather than the brand who pays best!

Get Smart with your Smartphone Spotlight at Letsbuyit.co.uk

We at Letsbuyit.co.uk LOVE the iPhone 4. Its technology is so advance that without trying to sound like I am completely pre-historic, it astounds me! However, for those of you who would rather not shell out 500 quid plus for the brand new iPhone 4 or who would just prefer not to buy into the craze, we have plenty of other options. With smartphones from the top phone companies beginning to rival the iPhone’s technology, no-one has to miss out!

Make sure you pay us a visit at Letsbuyit.co.uk for the BEST prices on the HOTTEST products! And don’t forget to get your SmartPhone before it goes HERE!

Feel free to comment on this blog to let us know what you think of the iPhone or any of our other products!? Do you like how far the technology has advanced or are you happier with a phone that simply calls and texts?

Happy shopping!

All this hot weather recently has left us gasping at Letsbuyit.co.uk trying to cool down in any way possible!

That’s why this week we want to know how you cool down when it’s scorching outside!

This week’s question is: How do you cool yourself down when it’s hot outside?

This week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

A. With an air conditioning fan or unit.

B. By eating loads of ice lollies.

C. By wearing skimpy summer clothes.

D. By trying not to move around too much!

Let us know how you cool down on Letsbuyit.co.uk where you will find our survey on the bottom right-hand side of the homepage!

Now, last week we asked you “Where do you normally stay on holiday?” and the results are in with a clear majority!

Last week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

38% of you admitted the credit crunch had affected your holiday plans and therefore chose option B. At a campsite; I’m trying to economise!

We at Letsbuyit.co.uk think camping isn’t half bad! With all the natural beauty England has to offer and the fabulous summer weather we’ve been having, a camping holiday sounds perfect!

Come and see us at Letsbuyit.co.uk for all the best bargains and deals and stay tuned-in to the blog to find out about exclusive offers and amazing, new products!

Florence our International Shopping Consultant for the Second Best Job in the World has now reached her final destination on her world tour looking for the best shops, best deals and best places to go in cities such as New York, London and Tokyo!

She is now in Paris, her home town, for the last few days of being International Shopping Consultant, and I think we will miss all her blog entries which have kept us all entertained here at the LetsBuyIt community over the past month!

As it is her home town I expect she will know all the best places to go already without having to search for them, I for one am looking forward to what she can tell us the shopping in the city of love!

Keep up to date with the last few days of her adventure, or catch up with the cities that she has already visited on her blog.

Please feel free to comment on any places to go that you know about in any of the cities, or just let us know what you think of the blog in general!

Just starting off on the last leg Florence arrived in New York yesterday where she will spend four days, up until the 20th March, discovering all the best places to shop and finding some great products!

She will then be returning to Paris to tell us all about the best places to shop in her home town! I think a trip down the Champs Elysées is in store!

But what has the Big Apple got in store for our International Shopping Consultant? Even though Florence aims to find some places off the beaten track, I am sure she will be visiting all the department stores and shopping districts which the city is famous for:

Madision Avenue with its famous designer stores, with the likes of Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Armani!

Fifth Avenue, has the same kind of designers to offer including the famous Tiffany’s & Co, can Florence resist this opportunity to get a special little blue bag?

And let’s not forget the massive department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and Barney’s. Where you could spend hours on end perusing all the floors and different sections.

However, as we have found out Florence loves vintage clothing, so I am sure she will find some smaller thrift stores and markets to explore and tell us all about!

So follow all her adventures and check out where she has been already on the Second Best Job in the World Blog.

After many rumors and a long time of waiting (since July 22nd, 2007) it has been made public by Ryan Hayward on AdSense Blogspot now that Google launched its AdSense for Feeds in beta. With your Google AdSense account, it is now possible to push for Google advertising in your feeds in order to earn money with your blogs and feeds now. It is similary customizable as the other AdSense applications however this is only the beginning. The efficiency is questionnable as we are using feeds in order to minimizing the time spent for reading news and blogs hence we doubt that that Click-Through-Rate will be very high.

To find out more on how to integrated AdSense in your Feeds (interesting for publishers) click here for more info.

We found plenty of articles on the Google Blog but has this been existing in the other countries since 2005 as stated here on the Google Blog dated May 7, 2005 or is the date of the blog post just wrong?

It comes as no surprise that Google is trying to monetize its Readers now as well because Google is struggling to monetize their other projects such as YouTube, which just recently had to stop its project of live-streaming (article here) because investors are having a hard-time accepting those massive investments with no nice returns.

We would like to draw your attention to a new Blog, which is called Posterous. Posterous is very interesting because it makes the posting of content much easier in comparison to other Blog Management Systems like WordPress, etc.. You don’t need any log-in because you only email your content to posterous to publish your content. There is only one unique email ID (post@posterous.com) where you send your email (incl. photos, hyperlinks, Youtube Videos, etc.) to, which is then resized and formatted for you and it will be posted to your individual page based on your email ID. We have set up our own Posterous page for Letsbuyit.com that is also to be watched now: http://letsbuyit.posterous.com/
