Magic Jack

DEAL: THIS DEVICE IS AWESOME! PLUG A REGULAR PHONE INTO IT AND YOU'VE GOT DIAL TONE AND UNLIMITED CALLING FOR $20 PER YEAR!

Need a second phone line? How about a dedicated business line for your home-based enterprise? A cheap way to make calls while changing the world? Look no further than the MagicJack, quite possibly the coolest gizmo of 2007 and beyond.

All you do is plug the little guy into a USB port. It automatically installs its own software: a nifty little dialer/address-book app. (During the initial setup, you get to choose your own local number for inbound calls.) Now just plug any corded or cordless handset into the MagicJack's standard RJ-11 jack and presto, you've got a dial tone. And voice mail. And three-way calling, caller ID, etc. You can also use a headset if you're traveling and don't want to schlep that bulky old Princess phone.

The MagicJack costs $40, which includes a year's worth of unlimited local and long-distance calls. (Free international calls to other MagicJack users, too.) After that, you'll pay just $20 per year. I've tried this thing, and let me tell you: It rocks. It's way easier to use than Skype, way cheaper than Vonage, and way cool to boot.

Google Grants

DEAL: FREE ADVERTISING

The Google Grants program supports organizations sharing our philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts.

Designed for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, Google Grants is a unique in-kind advertising program. It harnesses the power of our flagship advertising product, Google AdWords, to non-profits seeking to inform and engage their constituents online. Google Grants has awarded AdWords advertising to hundreds of non-profit groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.

Google Grant recipients use their award of free AdWords advertising on Google.com to raise awareness and increase traffic. Three of our award recipients have achieved these results:

•	Room to Read, which educates children in Vietnam, Nepal, India and Cambodia, attracted a sponsor who clicked on its AdWords ad. He has donated funds to support the education of 25 girls for the next 10 years.
•	The US Fund for UNICEF's e-commerce site, Shop UNICEF, has experienced a 43 percent increase in sales over the previous year.
•	CoachArt, supporting children with life-threatening illnesses through art and athletics programs, has seen a 60 to 70 percent increase in volunteers.

Each organization awarded a Google Grant receives at least three months of in-kind advertising.

How it works

Get started

	Sign up for a Google Checkout merchant account. You will be asked for basic information about your organization including name, website, contact information and federal EIN. Make sure the EIN matches your federal Non-Profit Tax ID number, and the address matches your organization's address registered with the IRS.
	Identify Yourself as an IRS Certified 501(c)3 Go to the settings tab in your account and identify your primary product type as "Non-Profit (IRS certified 501c3)".
	Collect Donations Once you've completed the previous step you'll notice an option for Checkout "Donation Buttons" appear under the Tools tab in your account. To get started, place donation buttons on your website and process the donations you receive with Google Checkout. After you process a few donations our team will review your account to verify the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of your organization. You may be charged transaction fees while our team completes this review. Any fees you accrue will be credited back to your account within a few business days. Learn more
