According to its website, MFG.com is a privately held company founded in Atlanta in 2000 and is:
the largest online marketplace serving the global manufacturing community. Billions of dollars worth of discrete manufacturing services and industrial components are sourced online via MFG.com every year.
I wonder if they are aware that their company logo as prominently displayed on their website seems rather open to ridicule:
I think I heard someone say: What, you work for Oh My F**king God dot com???

Unsecured loan consulting and placement firm America One was established in 1999 and offers its services to both small business owners and general consumers across the country.
They had been the nation’s biggest provider of such services 7 years in a row and handles a whopping half a million applications every year.
The ideal customers for them are those that are looking into amounts of between USD10,000 and USD100,000. Any reasons are accepted: Business or Personal Loans.
Perhaps the thing most borrowers want to hear is that America One is exclusively dedicated to unsecured financing. This is in direct contrast to the practice of many financial instutions and banks. The result of America One’s practice is predictable: there are more approvals in Personal Loan applications and most importantly, satisfied customers.
So, check them out if you’re in the USA and looking for a Loan.

, released 1997 and has sold 107 million copies, and at no.9 on the all-time list), but judging from the rate at which it is selling, looks destined to do so. Goodness knows what number it will eventually reach.
In comparison, the best selling book of all time is The Holy Bible
, which has sold in the region of 5 to 6 billion copies. However, it should be noted that The Holy Bible has had a few hundred (or even thousands) of years head start, and is still selling now.
The rest of the all-time top 10 list is primarily made up of religious or political-type books, as listed below:

techchee.com reports today that UK-based zopa.com is the first web 2.0 loan shark website in the world. Why so? Because it provides a platform for lenders to lend and borrowers to borrow from the lenders. No financial institutions in the middle. That sounds very loan shark-friendly to me. Zopa (Zone of Possible Agreement) calls itself “the world’s first online lending and borrowing exchange.” Simply put, it works as follows: (more…)

If it’s in North America, Europe or any of the affluent Asian or Middle Eastern countries, I wouldn’t be surprised.

What can be more boring than trainspotting? Taking photos of car parks is surely high up on the list.
But, I suppose it’s all business.
