I remember some of my techy-er friends talking about some of the social networking sites back in the day, about how they could keep up with friends and network quickly at the speed of broadband, but recently it seems that social networks have really become a tool of not just tech geeks, but many of my business associates and not just my friends, but their kids seem to be on mypsace, facebook, and even using social news sites like digg one a regular basis.

I have to admit this is one of those tech ideas that I though would never catch on with mainstream America, but it seems that it has taken over quickly as a must have communication tool. Very cool.

Mother always hounded me about paying attention to the funds that I invest in and making sure that they are responsible with the money. She was always concerned about helping companies that she considering bad, profiting off of pain and misery. She wouldn’t be caught dead with investments in any fund that included tobacco or drug companies.

I disagree with the drug companies, I am comfortable investing in some of them, and they do stand to make money.

There are mutual funds out there that do spend a lot of time trying to pick stocks that are more green, better for the environment and do not deal in death. I certainly recommend taking a look at these funds, and consider the costs associated with not supported the positive things in our society.
