The event drew a crowd of 120 designers, developers and entrepreneurs from the state of Oklahoma into one venue where they could share ideas, demo their projects and discuss future collaboration not to mention mingle.

My demo drew many visitors with a ton of tallents. I hope to get to know them better and possibly draw on them for the future development of StopForwarding.Us and other projects.

My biggest surprise of the evening and one that I am proud of is that StopForwarding.Us received the award for “Most Enterprise Potential.” I’m glad that there are others out there who see potential in the service the site provides and am flattered that I was chosen for the award. Part of the prize is that I get to take StopForwarding.Us to the Innotech show floor next week! If you are in town and you’re a fan of the site or you’ve been sending me hate mail and would like to put a knife in my ribs, please stop by!

My thanks to all who stopped by and said hi, the pannel who awarded me and Derrick Parkhurst for putting the event together!

That’s why BigCrumbs.com appealed so much to me. What is BigCrumbs.com? It’s a cash back program that let’s you earn cash rewards on the stuff you purchase online already. Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign in to your BigCrumbs.com account
  2. Choose one of 337 familiar online stores like Walmart, Office Depot or even eBay
  3. Shop and check out!

That’s it. In a few days you’ll have received credit for your purchase. Once a month your account’s balance will be deposited into your PayPal account!

In addition to the cash back benefit of the site, BigCrumbs.com also features special offers throughout the year that may help you save more! I’ve also had success pairing my savings from BigCrumbs.com with coupon codes from RetailMeNot.com.

BigCrumbs.com also has a referral program that can up your earning potential. (Full disclosure: I am a part of that program and the links in this article reflect that.)

In the past three months I’ve been paid $45 from BigCrumbs.com. If you do any shopping online or are trying to save a few bucks in today’s economic environment, take a look and please, mention my referral name “granata”.
