      <description>Bob has changed login to bumblebee. I have built a website at bumblebeegarage.com to further expand on the concept and invite people to do business with me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have spoken to several people from this forum about possible projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was just a post on a whim but it was a good idea. So I built a website, and changed the login so people could find me.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;b&gt;I have sent you an email with contact info&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The online auction website, eBay is &lt;br /&gt;
turning over*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*$60,000.000 a day in &lt;br /&gt;
revenues!*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
ONE: my name is Virgilio Garrett, primary representative &lt;br /&gt;
of YOUR HELPING HANDS INC. LOOKING FOR HELP TO BUILD THE BEST THE INTERNET &lt;br /&gt;
WILL HAVE TO OFFER.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS INC. has come up with an idea for an &lt;br /&gt;
OFFSPRING AND ALTERNATIVE TO EBAY'S ONLINE AUCTION WEBSITE. THIS EMULATED IDEA &lt;br /&gt;
WILL BECOME KNOWN AS &amp;ldquo;YOUR HELPING HANDS.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
INSTEAD OF LIVE AUCTIONS WE WILL HAVE A &lt;br /&gt;
LIVE BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS WEB PRESENCE. WE WILL PUT PEOPLE IN A VIRTUAL &lt;br /&gt;
REAL ESTATE BUSINESS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO EARN DIVIDENDS THAT THEY WILL &lt;br /&gt;
USE A PERCENTAGE OF TO STIMULATE LUXURY RETAIL SELLS WHILE WE WILL PROFIT &lt;br /&gt;
FROM BOTH SEGMENTS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
ONCE IT IS IMPLEMENTED IT WILL EXCEED EBAY'S REVENUE &lt;br /&gt;
INTAKE WITHIN ITS SECOND YEAR OF INTRODUCTION.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
BY &lt;br /&gt;
EMULATING EBAY AND USING THE SAME TECHNOLOGY YOUR HELPING HANDS CAN NOW PROVIDE &lt;br /&gt;
THE WAY FOR WORLDWIDE RETAIL MERCHANTS OF LUXURY PRODUCTS (*_THAT WILL &lt;br /&gt;
AFFILIATE WITH US)_* TO MOVE THEIR MERCHANDISE AT THE SUGGESTED &lt;br /&gt;
RETAI; UP TO $25,000.00 A CLICK IN SOME CASES OF THEIR &lt;br /&gt;
VALUABLE MID LEVEL LUXURY MERCHANDISE FROM THEIR INVENTORIES AT AN UNBELIEVABLE &lt;br /&gt;
RATE THROUGH AN E-COMMERCE WEBSITE (_www.your-helping-hands.co_) THAT &lt;br /&gt;
IS PENDING CONSTRUCTION.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
The web presence will be designed to provide unlimited &lt;br /&gt;
business transactions for retailers of luxury goods by providing unlimited &lt;br /&gt;
consumer agents &lt;b&gt;made to be so&lt;/b&gt; at our &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just think what it would mean for merchants of musical instrument, &lt;br /&gt;
jewelry stores, boutiques and electronic outlets to be able to go online and &lt;br /&gt;
sell merchandise of their choice - by the click of their mouse - 24/7 to a &lt;br /&gt;
limitless amount of on demand consumer agents that are generated by our web &lt;br /&gt;
presence because they make the money to spend and procure whatever goods are &lt;br /&gt;
shipped to them by our affiliate retailers; as they will use the goods they &lt;br /&gt;
receive to further their earnings that was already made at our business for &lt;br /&gt;
business web presence. Causing all users of our website to profit in cash and &lt;br /&gt;
products from what our web presence manufactures for them&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All approved fashion designers &lt;br /&gt;
will be able to sell via &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.your-helping-hands.com&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.your-helping-hands.com&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;br /&gt;
Beverly Hills prices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Reputable artists, antique &lt;br /&gt;
dealers or fragrant specialists will all benefit from the platform YOUR HELPING &lt;br /&gt;
HANDS will provide; making it the most attractive experience that cyberspace has &lt;br /&gt;
to offer for both worldwide businesses and nation-wide PC users to enjoy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Just the thought of visiting the best that the Inter has &lt;br /&gt;
to offer and learning of a better way of doing business then eBay is the draw &lt;br /&gt;
that is going to turn this new web presence out&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
This completely new e-business &lt;br /&gt;
for business concept devise will deliver a service that thrills large numbers of &lt;br /&gt;
client&amp;egrave;le by the millions on an ongoing bases and will exceed eBay&amp;rsquo;s $60,000.000 &lt;br /&gt;
a day revenue intake within its second year of introduction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In &lt;br /&gt;
hardly any time, accompanying this mega electronic business will be an &lt;br /&gt;
additional separate entity requiring a pay member&amp;rsquo;s system equivalent to that of &lt;br /&gt;
Paypa. &lt;br /&gt;
Our Dividends Unlimited MasterPay System will provide for each of its &lt;br /&gt;
members to be paid through a debit &lt;br /&gt;
card account. This entity in itself will be worth an incalculable &lt;br /&gt;
fortune. We can build this system to replace the initial credit car registration&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I CAN INSTRUCT THE TECHNCIANS ON HOW TO DESIGN THE SITE FOR &lt;br /&gt;
THEM TO PUT THE  APPLICATIONS TOGETHER NEEDED TO RUN IT. ALSO I &lt;br /&gt;
WILL BE ABLE TO RAPIDLY FILL THE SITE WITH UPWARDS OF A MILLION USERES IN SIX &lt;br /&gt;
MONTHS OPERAT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ALL THAT &lt;br /&gt;
IS NEEDED NOW IS THE FUNDING RESOURCES THAT WILL ALLOW MTM TECHNOLOGIES &lt;br /&gt;
(mtm.com ) TO ACCOMADATE THIS EN&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&amp;lt;font face="Arial" size="2" &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS INC. is registered with &lt;br /&gt;
(&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusiness.dnb.com%2Fdefault.asp&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://smallbusiness.dnb.com/default.asp&lt;/a&gt;) and is &lt;br /&gt;
looking for officers to make up the body of this corporation because it is at &lt;br /&gt;
the ready to launch stage upon credit approval or backing of its projected &lt;br /&gt;
multi-billion dollar enterprise that will be outsource through www.mtm.com. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For reference, you can contact: Joe Morga, an Account Executive with MTM &lt;br /&gt;
Technologies, Inc. Phone: (212)301-431 &lt;br /&gt;
Fax: (212)301-434 &lt;br /&gt;
Mobile: (845)641-164 &lt;br /&gt;
Email: jmorgan@mtm.com. He is arranging &lt;br /&gt;
to help launch this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Since 90% of this venture is technically oriented; &lt;br /&gt;
mostly done over the Internet, this can all start to take place upon being an &lt;br /&gt;
approved applicant of MTM&amp;rsquo;s customer credit. An application has been issued to &lt;br /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS by Joe &lt;br /&gt;
Morga.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to YOUR HELPING HANDS being purely startup at this &lt;br /&gt;
point it lacks the necessary resources to complete the credit application namely &lt;br /&gt;
business and bank references.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS is in search of the right &lt;br /&gt;
individual(s) or company with the clout to help put this clear mental picture of &lt;br /&gt;
this dynamic electron business purpose together as it is ready to &lt;br /&gt;
happen.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS is responding to your request to &lt;br /&gt;
contact you in hopes that your company possess the clout necessary &lt;br /&gt;
that will allow YOU to have an active interest in YOUR HELPING HANDS that &lt;br /&gt;
will enable us to push this project ahead and over the top &lt;br /&gt;
instantaneously.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly the strength of the right company &lt;br /&gt;
getting involved would allow us to meet MTM Technologies, Inc. credit criteria &lt;br /&gt;
and from that point we can watch our new company grow as we proceed to &lt;br /&gt;
successfully redefine the way business is done over the &lt;br /&gt;
Internet.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Googl, &lt;br /&gt;
Microsof, Yaho, &lt;br /&gt;
eBay and AO, all of these &lt;br /&gt;
Corporate giants have two things in common; they were all big ideas before &lt;br /&gt;
producing the kind of revenue that is being made by them due to the advent of &lt;br /&gt;
the computer.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Internet at this point is a teenager that only the &lt;br /&gt;
big 5 corporations mentioned above have groomed for maturity; that is why they &lt;br /&gt;
are the ones buying up all of the new sites that are attracting &lt;br /&gt;
attention.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many opportunities still exist for smart people who have &lt;br /&gt;
real world experience to become Internet savvy enough to start new businesses &lt;br /&gt;
that will produce the same kind of revenue that Google and yahoo have the &lt;br /&gt;
benefit of enjoying.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ultimately, those who are the most successful will &lt;br /&gt;
create a change and then give others the opportunity to take advantage of it. &lt;br /&gt;
That is exactly what we do through Virtual Real Estate; we create opportunities &lt;br /&gt;
that allow everyone to do better.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The formula for this business for business venture is a &lt;br /&gt;
simple one that is being use by venture capitalist everyday; they are the &lt;br /&gt;
successful entrepreneurs that make successful entrepreneurs. Now to see how that &lt;br /&gt;
same formula can be used to perfection in cyber space I will need your help in &lt;br /&gt;
building the website www.your-helping-hands.com to the specifications that this &lt;br /&gt;
formula has place in my mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YOUR HELPING HANDS has formulated a straightforward &lt;br /&gt;
Virtual Real Estate market that anyone can use to yield the highest (R O I) &lt;br /&gt;
return on investment from the minutest outlay imaginable for such a return. Our &lt;br /&gt;
users take advantage of this market in exchange for the purpose of becoming on &lt;br /&gt;
demand consumers for our affiliate luxury retailers (Cybernate) that will be &lt;br /&gt;
selling at our web presence.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because cyberspace can house virtual formations that &lt;br /&gt;
will allow its developers to set the rules and standards that governs its usage &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ndash; within the bounds of the law; this is exactly what YOUR HELPING HANDS will &lt;br /&gt;
accomplish with its formation of Virtual Real Estate that will produce million &lt;br /&gt;
of perpetual on demand consumer agents that will be manifested at our website &lt;br /&gt;
from the uses of our business for business format, thus, producing the next mega &lt;br /&gt;
major electronic - business Corporation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THIS HAS ALL BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY THE OPEN SOURCE &lt;br /&gt;
BUSINESS MODEL THAT EBAY HAS PROVIDED.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now by means of this same open source formation we can &lt;br /&gt;
produce an OFFSPRING AND ALTERNATIVE TO THE ONLINE AUCTION. This alternative &lt;br /&gt;
will become a BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS web presence! We put people in a high end &lt;br /&gt;
virtual real estate business for the purpose of stimulating luxury retail &lt;br /&gt;
sells.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you will see this is not a flip, it&amp;rsquo;s a KEEEEEP! It's &lt;br /&gt;
the ultimate business machine.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an unsullied idea that promotes sudden change &lt;br /&gt;
that produces fast fresh growth in YOUR HELPING HANDS target &lt;br /&gt;
markets.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted, measures have been taking by YOUR HELPING &lt;br /&gt;
HANDS to alleviate any up front needed heavy capital investment this could call &lt;br /&gt;
for otherwise.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone is going to see the value in this venture; if &lt;br /&gt;
you are in the right position it may as well be YOU.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be more then a good idea for anyone &lt;br /&gt;
capable to add this new electronic revenue purpose to their personal &lt;br /&gt;
business portfolio with the best the Internet will have to offer by adding www.your-helping-hands.com to their professional and &lt;br /&gt;
business empire.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This plan is being presented to you without the actual &lt;br /&gt;
formula detailing how Virtual Real Estate is used and moved at such a velocity &lt;br /&gt;
that it will allow us to turn millions $$$ in profits within six months of &lt;br /&gt;
operating.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Math is an absolute science and when equations are &lt;br /&gt;
worked out properly the answer is always correct.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm saying this to say that if you were to see the math &lt;br /&gt;
worked out before you it will become apparent that this is a guaranteed &lt;br /&gt;
MULTI-BILLION$$$ business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The site that I have in mind will take people by the &lt;br /&gt;
hand and show them from the start how a $25.00 investment will turn into over &lt;br /&gt;
upward of $200,000.00 or more in profit a year thru the platform we &lt;br /&gt;
setup.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No secrets, we show both segments of our target market &lt;br /&gt;
how to do business worth doing every time from our business for business web &lt;br /&gt;
presence that we have formulated.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective is set, the plan will not fail. So why &lt;br /&gt;
fail the plan by not being a part of it?&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If interested in partnering with me to put this together &lt;br /&gt;
please use any of the contact sources above or below so that we can proceed with &lt;br /&gt;
due diligenc. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's do this just because it can be &lt;br /&gt;
done.&amp;lt;/span&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

following link: &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fyourhelpenhands&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/yourhelpenhands&lt;/a&gt; and read &lt;br /&gt;
my profile. There I give up the concept minus the formula which is the key to &lt;br /&gt;
completely understanding the process that will be known as Cybernate &lt;br /&gt;
Merchandising thru Virtual Real Estate.&amp;lt;/span&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you for your response!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looks like we have a similar mentally towards partnering and looking for people have the same drive and dedication who can get the job done   Of course that comes from experience of having owned my S-corp for the last 7 years working in the Web Design / Dev / Consulting for fortune 500+ companies and having gone through some startups - good and bad, makes one quite resilent. &lt;img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":)" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We planned some programming requirements as it will provide the basis for&lt;br /&gt;
a unique interactive user experience that will differentiate our&lt;br /&gt;
solution vs competition as well as embed layers of innovation that is&lt;br /&gt;
needed to make this system work as I envisioned  i.e. Artificial Intelligence or semantics integrated with an avatar interface where the user can communicate, request, etc. using natural language  - of course down the road but that's the kind of innovation that will completely enhance the user's experience and be able  to use it for other applications that may fit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its good to know that your very technical, can provide hosting/infrastructure and programming. &lt;br /&gt;
The clustering / load balancing will be vital for our system as we intend to serve video around the globe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This becomes interesting. &lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;b&gt;Onlinebiz&lt;/b&gt; - I did not mean to shoot you down. But if you run your own business you know that everyone thinks they can and very few actually can. With 99.999% of the people that contact me having nothing substantial behind the idea you have to understand I automatically assume the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course I am happy to discuss ideas with anyone. But getting me to sign on as a partner is a bit harder. If I am going to spend hundreds of hours programming I need to know there is potential to make money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a web host, we see 8 of every 10 people that sing up, quit within 3 months. When you see that type of commitment day after day it is easy to be very quick to judge people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why I set up bumblebeegarage.com to give people a better chance to show me that they are committed. Knowing you are self employed changes the equation because you understand the work involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;web2.0_co&lt;/b&gt; - When you are talking about programming it is completely irelevent. If you know how to program you can do anything with any language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can compare it to telephones, it does not matter who makes it, they all get calls from the same numbers. It does not matter if you use cell, satellite, fiber optic or copper wire you hear the same voice out of the speaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In our case, the browser is the telephone and all content is delivered as HTML. It does not matter what language you use, the input and output are the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As far as users. Yes. I have built sites with millions of registered users and interactive applications feeding more than 2 million pages an hour. Of course I could build for bigger, but I have archived those numbers and am aware of the programming requirements at those levels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My automotive site buzztrader.com has about 100,000 unique visitors a day viewing nearly a million pages a day. Althoght that is quite small in enterprise terms, it is very busy for a website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We run some servers that retail for just under $100,000.00 each. So you can imagine we plan for big loads and high traffic. We also have our own clustering software so we distribute loads over multiple servers when needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you look at the photo I have of my garage based data center it is better equipped than most big corporations. That is all equipment that has rotated out of service, so you can bet I have filled it at one time. All of our new equipment is in our actual datacenter and not our garage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth is, most of the ideas people have will run on a pretty basic inexpensive server and will never have the traffic they think it will. So I like to start small and grow if the business grows rather than spending big money on a network and a year programming only to hit a wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you talk with me,  we can plan for the loads you will have. I have been doing this for over 10 years, so I know what to expect most of the time.</description>

If you do not mind me asking, who is your parent company?</description>

      <description>Bob,&lt;br /&gt;
I have read you requirements for a partner and potential project but I have some minor questions for you. Running the data center out of your garage is quite spectacular! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. What programming languages are you guys proficient in?  Any Ruby on Rails or AJAX or perhaps any FLEX knowledge? Again programming is the most important aspect of our solution, as it will determine how the system works, interacts, and responds to particular requests.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. When you say we, how many guys/gals are we talking about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. You speak of enterprise level systems, are you speaking of millions of users - koz that's what I'll need?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What other resources do you provide?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for you time!&lt;br /&gt;
