Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in General with No Comments

Circumcision Makes It Less Likely To Catch AIDS
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in General with No Comments
We recently circumcized our son Leo. In the process there´s always the doubt as to whether, in so doing, one is simply continuing with a barbaric tradition or if it actually makes sense in this day and age to circumcize a child.

David Bitton on Wengo´s New Market of Personal Services
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in General with No Comments
In this video David Bitton comments on Wengo´s new developments, something akin to an EBay of personal services that are rendered over Wengo tools such as free video/voice/chat. His collection of services is impressive. Famous bloggers, for example, could have a video button in their blog that people use to talk to them either free or paying like a 900 number. Another service relates to tutoring, on line tutors are given tools to teach on line and get paid on line.
