The one bad thing about Twitter is that anybody can get an account and think they're cool. But actually the best thing about Twitter...is that anybody can get an account and think they're cool. Unlike Facebook, which bans "non-humans" from creating accounts, you don't have to leave your pets out when it comes to Twitter!
This is great for me, because my two kitties have a lot to tell the world. Sometimes a tweet is really the only necessary way to broadcast their message. So imagine my absolute glee at finding
Puppy Tweets, a little electronic toy that hangs around your puppy's neck and auto-tweets his every thought.

Back in July I wrote about the

What a difference a few months makes.

Recently (
Monday?)
PayPal pissed off a lot of people. You may have seen the story on
Jezebel,
Consumerist, or a bunch of other outlets: Regretsy collected $2 donations from thousands of users to buy toys for needy kids for Christmas via a PayPal "Donate" button. PayPal froze the account and went on to provide a very nice example of how not to treat your users. Anyway, last I heard it was being worked out--someone at PayPal issued an apology and promised a donation to the Regretsy cause.
Still for many people online it was one more nail in the coffin of PayPal. All you have to do is a little Googling to read page after page of complaints against them. So here are a handful of viable alternatives I was able to find while looking online. There are pros and cons to all of them, and most likely you will still need a PayPal account in order to pay some online sellers. But you should definitely check these out:
By iwerner 6 months ago Ebay is great for stuff you can't find anywhere else. I recently got some Land Before Time toys for my daughter from ebay and she loves them. I couldn't find them anywhere else.
