This is the first in many to come posts of cool geeky gadgets that you might also find useful for business.

This one here is a great gadget, simple and have enough features to compete with the iPhone.

Designer Roman Tubl set out to conceive a cell phone that’s easy to use and a pleasure to hold. Throw in a strip around the side that glows red (I like the black with glowing red combination), a slick touch screen and a cool logo, and you’ve got some serious pocket toy as well as some great options.

Looking at the design, I imagined holding it to my ear and having a conversation, thinking how easy the curves are to hold to the human ears, don’t you think?

Of course this is a concept phone, but I think it’s very doable. The concept includes the surface of the phone which consists of a flexi true color display for tactile touchscreen feedback. You’ll also notice the standard data ports like Bluetooth, USB, and Wifi in addition to a 3.2 megapixels camera and a snazzy amount of memory of 4 GB.

All credits go to designer Roman Tubl.

Do you have a business card? Yes! Good.

Do you have a Web 2.0 style business card? No! Too bad, you will not have a chance to drop me your card therefor I might never know anything about your blog.

I suggest that after you read this, and if you have a blog, then take my advice and signup with Entrecard.

In the last few months I have seen Entrecard booming with a massive and growing membership between blog owners.

10 Days ago Entrecard made big changes to their service. I can not explain how dropping your card and bringing more business any better than Entrecard, their new official ebook is out, and explains a lot about their service.

Even better, with all the new changes they are giving out up to 15,000 Entrecard credits in one contests then another 2000 credits in a different contest.

Some of the new changes are the ability to add multiple blogs under one account, a new improved homepage and a new droppers RSS feed option.

I will officially give out 3000 Entrecard credits in a contest here at www.guruofsales.com, the contest is easy and free to enter, all you have to do is follow some easy steps to qualify for the entry.

The contest will be posted on Saturday May 31st, however, you can start building your points immediately, the first step is to comment on this post. In the comment mention your blog’s URL and a reason for your entry, whether it’s for the free advertising you can get with your 3000 credits or to make cash and sell the 3000 credits on eBay. Only comments with your URL will count.

My Twitter account was Hacked!!!

Here is a quick and not too funny story:

Around the end of March, eBay came up with a new policy that prohibited the listings of digital delivery items.

Immediately I closed my 22% income source aka my eBay store, that’s over 3200 items. Why? because it was 100% ebooks (Digital delivery items).

As a good seller, I came up with the same idea that most honest sellers came up with. To burn the ebooks on CDs and sell them as physical items.

Long story short: Having the second biggest eBay store (Items wise) I had to hire an assistant to re-list my items changing each to be in compliance with eBay’s new rules.

That “Jack @##” was invited to do the work from my own computer at my house, then some how managed to find my RoboForm master password, so he hacked into 2 of my eBay accounts and my one and only twitter account and changed the passwords.

Thanks to twitter friends (over 23,000 at the time) I got an @ to my email from some of my loyal friends on twitter, asking me what was wrong with me 🙂

I tried to log in to find out and couldn’t so I went to my twitter address and found out tons of spam, links, and bad replies to my friends.

I figured from the links it was the bastard. I immediately went to my other laptop to log in with my roboform and found out that 3 accounts (mentioned above) had password changed.

Contacted eBay and twitter. eBay fixed the problem within 24 hours and twitter within a week.

I needed my twitter fix within that week, so I went and created another twitter account, luckily the idiot changed the twitter username so my name was available and so I took it back.

It was not easy but I’ve managed to get some of my old friends back, thanks to the saved twitter RSS feeds I had.

I am now announcing that I am back on twitter, safely guarded, and more addicted than ever. So go ahead and follow me.

Still not following? here is the link: www.twitter.com/guruofsales

Within a week I will introduce some great twitter tools, and other cool stuff, good for business or on a personal level.

Word of advice:

1. Do not hire someone named “Jim Dandy” from CraigsList.

2. Do not let strangers on your own machines with passwords saved on it.

3. Do not put all your passwords in one place.

4. Try not to become a tweet addict like my self 😉

See you on twitter 😉
