. To fill you in (if you didn’t know), Uber is a mobile app that seamlessly connects riders with drivers at the push of a button.  The technology has taken-off in over 260 cities across the globe (it’s HUGE in Boston!) allowing residents to travel around their communities quickly and efficiently. Driving with Uber is perfect for a those looking for seasonal/temporary work or for folks who need an entrepreneurial full-time opportunity. You can work whenever you want at the push of a button (you’re the boss!) and no previous experience as a driver is necessary.

Uber’s driver partners come from all occupational walks of life ranging from traditional driving and transportation industries to service and creative industries. If you are a designer, artist, entrepreneur, fisherman, or in between jobs and need flexibility, you should try driving with Uber to supplement your income. Partners in Boston are making up to $35/hour ($6400/month in fares) and checks are deposited into their bank accounts weekly.

With the summer demand just around the corner, there will be huge opportunities to make some more money during our summer festivals!

Here are some pretty cool videos to see how people use Uber as a great way to keep their income rolling:

Homie Is Flying At The #GloucesterMA Booth At The Seafood Show

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Big time props to all those who made the Gloucester Booth happen. For too many years I’d attend the International Boston Seafood Show and Gloucester had no representation. This group has elevated our town on an international stage and for that we should all be proud. Thank you for all you do.

Cousin @allyshims says it best…

You know how cell phone companies come out with incredible numbers of features with every product upgrade?  Well I’m willing to bet that if a cell phone manufacturer developed an “opt-out” button for group texts that it would be a huge hit.

There are definitely situations where group texts are big time helpful but I’m sure that I’ve initiated some group texts that have irritated the hell out of people. This is why they shouldn’t go away, but have the option to self opt out of them.

Here’s the situation:
You’re waiting for an important business text about what time to meet up when you get a group text invite to a BBQ with all your best buddies. You’re thankful for the invite but know that you won’t be able to make it because you know you’ve got this business meeting.  So you politely decline and then put your phone back in your pocket while waiting for confirmation on what time you’ll be meeting your business associate.

Aaaaaand that’s when your phone starts to blow up with replies (not unlike your own initial reply) and then counter replies all throughout the text message chain. Each time your phone chirps you’re obligated to check it because you’re still waiting for that confirmation from your business associate.  Phone in and out and in and out of your pocket.

If you knew you couldn’t make the BBQ right off the bat and you had an “opt-out”  button,  you’d be all set.

Maybe I’m missing something and it already exists.  If so,  let me know.  Also how do you handle group texts?
PS:Thanks cousin for the great tweet this morning 🙂
