Title: Things you use because they were recommended to you? Post by: bsfins on April 11, 2011, 12:05:05 am It's kind of funny, I've started a thread about what my friends and I call"Great finds",and deleted because I didn't think it would fly,or people wouldn't understand what I'm asking.This is an off shot of Daves answer on what would make you change brand loyalty,and my Great find idea....
What things do you use because someone recommended them to you? (This could be an app, a place to eat, a new store,a website,almost anything....) Last pass -Password manager,I kept installing,and uninstalling Keepass,after hearing about it on Tekzilla.I didn't like it,the next week someone wrote in and suggested Lastpass...I thought NO thank you,two days later I went a good friend of mines to colborate on a project,He opened his browser and his passwrod manager kicked in...It was Lastpass,and he recommended it... Jensen's orchard veggie Chips (dipping style) - Chips made with potatoes, spinach,and tomatoes..Light,very lightly salted...Ohh soo Good...I think they're not being carried in as many places,I'm having a harder time finding them lately...

A buddy told me about it about a month ago, and I've been drinking one every other day or so. Damned delicious, and completely refreshing.

If I could go back in time and meet pre-Netflix Guru I wouldn't even explain the awesomeness. I would just slap him with a Netflix envelope and warn him if he does not join soon post-Netflix Guru will be back with a Netflix shotgun. I thought it was just get a crappy dvd that will barely play in like 5 days after you'd want it. The absolute awesomeness that is the streaming through my PS3 or even my directly from my new t.v. and still get a dvd within a couple days for like 9 bucks is the best. Thanks to my friend for pushing me towards it. |
