More iDrops Reviews and Customer Service Feedback
Rather than grow out the list on the Reviews and Feedback sidebar that adorns most of the site’s pages, I thought I would post a few more recent customer comments and reviews for iDrops, and their thoughts on PodShop’s customer service:

What a busy month it has been! After the launch of the new podshop.com site late last month, I have been extremely busy fielding emails, questions, and responses (for both PodShop products and the updated podshop.com website), have been interviewed by Matthew Smith of TXP Magazine, and of course, have been happily and graciously processing, filling, and shipping every order as quick as I can (all orders are usually processed, filled, and shipped the same day that the order is placed). Thank you to everyone interested in PodShop, its products, and especially to all the new customers that I have been fortunate to welcome over the last month.

Google Checkout is Live!
Google officially announced their online payment service today. Dubbed Google Checkout, it looks promising. I’m looking into the first level API integration for now.

We're Not in February Anymore?
The last thing I remember, it was early February. The calendar shall tell no lies, I guess, as it is now evidently late June, the first day of summer, nonetheless. But how can that be right? Over four months? Yes, that is indeed the length of time it took me to get the new podshop.com site finished. Over one third of a year. For all of the other sports fans out there, let me put this timeframe in terms you can further relate to: from the Super Bowl through the end of the NBA Finals, and just a few weeks shy of MLB’s All-Star Game. Yikes.

My apologies to those arriving from the About page, as this will be a bit redundant.
A saga of entrepreneurial dreams and starting a small business.
Let’s get this out in the open now, before any other sentences flow…
