Permanent Life Insurance is useful if the need for the life insurance protection is - well - permanent - like burial costs for example.

Whole Life and Universal Life are the two popular variations of Permanent Life Insurance.

Term Life Insurance guarantees money to a beneficiary if you die while you have it. It generally is the lowest cost premium for Life Insurance over a given period of time.

It is however - temporary - if you need permanent insurance - like to pay for your burial costs or income to a spouse - Whole Life or Universal Life may be a better purchase.

If you have loved ones that depend on your ability to earn - you need life insurance. Whether you buy Term - Whole Life - Universal Life or some combination one of the first rules is work with a competent professional - understand what you are buying and why you are buying it and make sure the premium is an amount you can comfortably afford.

Google Wave is the up and coming "thing" for collaborative work. With the world being more reliant on outsourcing I think Google Wave will be a necessary part of most businesses.

Buzz is Google's response to twitter and Facebook. Early results are not as impressive as you expect from Google. Watch the evolution of the product to see if they have the "hit" they anticipate.

After my first 30 days I think things are improving but they still have a long way to go before they give twitter or facebook a run for their membership.

Twitter is the fastest growing micro-blogging service currently. Many great add-on application exist to help you manage your account like Refollow Hootsuite and TweetDeck. You can integrate your Glue comments and accomplishments into your twitter account easily to let your twitter friends know what YOU are up to on Glue. You can connect with me on twitter at http://twitter.com/BillBateman1 - I don't spam :)
