99Designs is a crowdsourced graphic design marketplace with around 80,000 designers registered. Crowdsourcing is when you have a large group of people work together on a project collaboratively, in this case you offer a cash reward as a prize for a design competition where many professional designers submit original works based on specifications from the person posting the design project.

I first heard about this company through an internet marketing book that I was reading by Darmesh Shah. I have actually been doing this myself independently for a while using various graphic design forums and posting contests myself; 99Designs (http://www.99Designs.com) attracts a different audience than I was seeking as it brings in many professional designers rather than talented amateurs.

Competitions such as these have angered some within the design community as it can drastically cut down on the price of design. Rather than picking one designer and making many modifications to it, you get many designs and simply choose the one that fits best and then work from there. Continue review... 99Designs Review

123Inkjets is a discount ink retailer that was founded in 1999. 123Inkjets.com is based in Simi Valley, California where they handle 100% of their product fulfillment. They produce the same high quality ink cartridges that you would get from the manufacturer of your printer, but the difference is that their cartridges are significantly cheaper. Their prices are typically 40-80% cheaper than the retail OEM cartridges that you would buy from your manufacturer or from an office supply place like Staples or Office Depot.

There are two products that have always irritated me, ink cartridges and disposable razor heads because they both give out the main component basically for free (Ex: Free printer with purchase of a computer or a free razor on your 18^th birthday), but then they charge you a ridiculous amount for using the disposable part of the product. Manufacturers have helped to reinforce the myths that if you use ink cartridges other than the originals it will somehow damage or printer or that it will be a complicated process. I can assure you that as a technology specialist for five years that it does not matter at all whether you use the OEM ink cartridges or ink manufactured by 123Inkjets.com. You should also know that under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act it would be illegal to make these cartridges void your warranty; your right to use after-market parts such as ink cartridges is protected by federal law.
