Need a Friend? Rent One Online 134
crimeandpunishment writes "Housewives, college students, and others are working for a website that charges users an hourly rate for their companionship. No, it's not an escort service — at least it's not one 'with benefits.' It's a site called rentafriend.com, that's trying to carve out a niche in the 'everything's available online' business world. The seven-month-old site, patterned after hugely successful sites in Asia, has nearly 2,000 members who pay either a monthly or yearly fee to check out the pictures and profiles of more than 160,000 potential pals." I thought Craigslist had already cornered the market on renting a friend for an hour or two.

Is there any way to stop Chrome sending the info of the URLs you type into the address bar back to google, yet?

I prefer LemonWire myself. Although PlumWire has some nice features, and CherryWire isn't too bad either.
But whatever you do, stay away from KumquatWire!

Could it be because this ISP charges for bandwidth (and quite heavily during the day) and are more expensive than other providers that supply truly unlimited tariffs?
