Withdrawing funds from your PayPal account may sometimes be difficult especially if you have a business account but want the cheque drawn in your personal name. PayPal would then require you to downgrade your account to Premier or Personal account. It also takes between 4 - 6 days for PayPal to process withdrawal requests. Alternatively you can use Xoom to transfer funds from PayPal and usually you will recieve funds within 72 hours. This works ven if you have a business account and you want the cheque in your personal name.

When you want to transfer money using Xoom, you key in the receipient’s name and fund your account through credit card, debit card or your PayPal account. Once Xoom verifies the payment, the money is transferred to the recepient account (in this case yourself).

When we spoke about directories being past their prime, there were some upset webmasters who approached us to contest our claim. Some of them put their views on this blog while some others sent mails and even told their views in no uncertain terms to me personally. This made us think that probably the way we put forward our opinion was ambiguous. We rephrase it in this editorial. When we say directories are past their prime, we talk about the hundreds and thousands of directories whose main purpose of existence is to sell a few links to unsuspecting webmasters. These ‘past their prime’ directories take no effort that their directories will be useful to people looking for information. To make it more clear, we are not talking about directories like Yahoo, Alive or DirJournal. Read the rest of this entry »
