Apparently, I was in danger of losing some of the most-watched channels in my house, to wit, Nickelodeon and Noggin. In short, I found out this morning that Viacom was threatening to pull 19 of its channels from Time Warner cable networks across the country because of a fee increase dispute.

Awhile back I signed up for Revolution Money Exchange [referral link] to get the $25 sign-up bonus and a couple referrals. It was an easy way to make a few extra dollars toward my 2008 deal goal of $2,000.

I just got an e-mail this morning from Zecco stating that they are making two big changes to their free equity trade offer. These changes are effective immediately for accounts opened on or after Oct. 1; for accounts opened before Oct. 1, the changes will be in effect on Jan. 1, 2008.

A couple months ago I signed up for Obopay, a payment service loosely similar to PayPal that promotes ease of sending payments using a mobile phone or debit card. The primary reason I signed up for the service is that I could get an easy $85 in account-opening bonuses and referrals.
