Hi, I'm Sam. I like to help people with money, web 2.0, and social justice awareness. I have a dream of using the social media space to help people in both little ways (wheelchair ramps down the road) and big ways (ending human trafficking). Here you can read, watch, and listen to my thoughts on all three.

Two Legit Credit Links

I just discovered these two sites through Money magazine that are relevant to my last video:

Credit.com

CreditKarma.com

These two sites are legit and give you a good idea of where you stand in the area of debt and credit.  They’re both free and easy, and can show you where you stand in the areas of payment history, debt usage, credit age, account mix, and inquiries.

Good information to have, but don’t obsess over it.  In the big picture, try to keep paying down your debt and put money in savings.  The credit card companies want you to get emotionally involved so that you spend more - whether in principal or in interest.

Questions or comments?  Get in touch with me.

Springpad and Daily Booth are two very different platforms that are related in one important way: they help you bridge the gap between your PR and your users/customers/volunteers using YOU.

Social media provides a powerful bridge between your PR and your users/followers/advocates/volunteers/customers/clients:

YOU.
