Social Bookmarking Helps

The idea is to publish bookmarking links to your web page on the social bookmarking websites. Do you have a number of keywords or tags that you specify your bookmarks. This allows others to search and even vote for your favorite. Social bookmarking is in a league of its own because of its ability to generate backlinks traffic through link exchanges. These bookmarks are usually public, private and can not be backed up with certain people or groups, shared only inside certain networks or shared a different mix of public and private sectors. That allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or through a search engine. Many social bookmarking websites RSS for lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags.

Homeowners insurance and discounts

Insurance is a rather simple form of gambling. The insurance company offers odds on the different ways you might suffer a loss. You can place a bet and, if you suffer the loss in the predicted way, you claim your “winnings”. Well, that’s changing the words around to make you think, but the spirit of this is correct. It all comes down to the ability of the insurer to predict how many people will lose money and how much they will lose. The total amount plus a margin to cover administrative costs and provide a profit, is then divided among the policyholders as the premium. So why should the insurer give you a discount? The answer comes down to those predictions. If you do something to change the odds on you losing money, the insurer rewards you.

Take something as simple as a fire alarm. They cost very little to install and maintain. Yet, if smoke is detected early, you can either put out the fire before it has a chance to take hold, or you call in help before your home burns to the ground. So a small investment earns a big reward. Now add in another fire-related variable. Did you have the good sense to buy a home close to the fire department? If so, your rate will be lower than for the people who decided to live somewhere off the beaten track. Even if they have early warning from an alarm, it still takes too long for a tender to arrive. Now what about the cause of the fire? Old homes have bad wiring that often causes fires. Get a certified electrician to make your home safe and you earn a discount. Similarly, new pipes don’t leak and properly maintained furnaces don’t catch fire as often.

Now think about the structure. The web site run by your local Insurance Commissioner will have details of the recommended technical specifications for roofing and other materials that will earn a discount if you upgrade your home. Homes of straw blow down when the wolf storm blows. Better to build your home of bricks with a sturdy roof. Continue reading →

Homeowners insurance and scooters

What’s in a word? Well, perhaps in this case, it’s the difference between insurance cover and no cover. Let’s start with the straightforward version which we might call a motor scooter. This is a two-wheeled, low-powered version of a motorbike and, despite very real safety concerns, their number has been growing steadily on our roads since we broke through the price barrier of $3 per gallon of gas. The reason is simple. It’s not difficult to get 60 or more miles to the gallon on a scooter. That’s rather better than the average vehicle. Add in the fact you will also save dramatic amounts on the auto insurance and it looks a good deal. The only problem is the number of accidents. Drivers seem to have great difficulty is actually seeing these nippy little things as they whizz in and out of traffic.

Changing the subject, you can’t avoid knowing we are facing an epidemic of obesity. Perhaps equally as serious is the increasing age of the population. As the boomers steadily pass the 60 mark, the average age is rising quite sharply. Those who work out these math sums tell us that, by 2025, there will be 66 million people aged 65 or more. Now let’s put together the picture by adding in the number of people who are born with disabilities or who are injured and therefore cannot walk around so easily. One of the things we pride ourselves on as Americans is our inventiveness. Knowing how many people might find it a challenge to move around the home or outside, there’s been a rush to develop scooters (for the record, the general term is an “electric mobility device”. They now come in a fairly standard four-wheel form, rather like a slimmed down golf cart and, in increasing numbers, you’re likely to see them on our roads and have to move out of their way on sidewalks and cycle paths.

The advantages of these machines are simple to list: you don’t need a license or registration to drive one, there are no rules requiring you to wear protective helmets, and they are very cheap to operate. All of which should suggest the key problem. Calling them scooters is not going to turn them into cars or bikes, and auto policies are not appropriate. Equally clear is the problem of dealing with them under the liability section of your home policy. Suppose a senior is distracted while riding down the sidewalk and crashes into a pedestrian. This is not the same as snow sliding off the roof and hospitalizing a passerby. For those who are interested in legal niceties, you also can’t be guilty of dui/dwi charges because you’re not actually driving. It’s an assisted form of walking. Continue reading →
