X-drive shuts down!

November 24th, 2008

AOL told users this week that it’s closing down access to its own AOL Pictures, Xdrive, and Bluestring services as of the end of this year. Yet at the same time, the company went ahead with previously announced plans to link the AOL Home Page to various outside service

To retrieve those files, users need to go to log in to Xdrive using their Xdrive or Bluestring user IDs and passwords. They can then either create a downloadable ZIP file containing all their files; download individual files via a standard Xdrive desktop or Web client; or buy an archive of their own files on DVD from AOL.

The scenario is a bit reminiscent of the music escapades of MSN and Yahoo earlier this year, in which users were given short notice to take action around their old digital content. But in those cases, DRM servers were about to be shut down. Users of MSN Music and Yahoo Music were told they’d be unable to retrieve license keys needed to enable playback on computers other than those used in earlier downloads.

It’s clear why iForem was created. To prevent this, become a member of iForem. It’s free to start, then if you want to preserve your files, do it any time you like!

iForem has a secret!

iNuity -

We are a unique financial services company, created for the purpose of establishing financial perpetuity around services with recurring costs.

iNuity conducts financial transactions, taking an invested sum of money and protecting that investment through a trust. The trust then governs a continuous payment toward a specified service, using the interest generated from the initial investment.

Beyond the financial freedom of iNuity trust certificates, trustees are guaranteed continuous service because that service is not connected to any one vendor. The trust provides for the continuation of a general service using whatever vendors meet strict criteria.

iNuity is currently partnered with iForem to provide innovate consumer and business solutions that leverage this financial innovation.

If You Advertise An ‘Unlimited’ Email Service, It Had Better Be Actually Unlimited

March 26th, 2008

Why are companies allowed to offer a service with terms of service that suggest one thing and do another?

“Yahoo! says it can get the messages back in a few hours (presumably restoring them from backup tapes). But this is still pretty embarrassing for Yahoo!, and it’s unfortunately all too common in the tech world. Companies love to advertise unlimited service when their systems aren’t actually set up for “unlimited” usage. “

See the full story here: Link

iForem created an irrevocable trust funded by your purchase making you the service beneficiary.  What does that mean?  iForem, can not choose what to provide you!  You buy the service, and you will keep it for life.  We wont cancel you, change your service terms or use deceptive marketing to suggest it will be there for you.

Sure, some services are free.  You expect them to do odd things.  Do you keep your most personal information with free services?  Would you keep your money in a bank where someone could choose what to do with your account?  Without your approval?  Sell your financial information for marketing income so you could have free checking?   I don’t think so. 

You want a Safe Deposit Box that will be yours with no reoccurring fees.  One that will provide you that Peace of Mind where your Important life memories are kept safe and secure.  Trust iForem!
