A SIGN OF THE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??????  A search engine that has been created for the 50+ crowd.  It's called Good50.com, but it really has good features for all the family.  Check out the information from the Good50 website below.

 Good50 is Health-Friendly.  Designed with the public's health in mind, Good50 has pre-set the search box to a larger size and gives the option to adjust to a larger font in the search results. These features of Good50 will reduce eye strain and help to prevent Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Some possible symptoms of CVS include headaches, dry and/or red eyes, fatigue, double vision, and neck or back pain.

Large Search Box. When typing in a search term, you can strain your eyes trying to distinguish between similar looking letters and symbols, but with a larger search box, it's no problem. Here's an example:
On-screen Zoom.  Good50's on-screen zoom feature lets you enlarge the view of your search result for enhanced readability. This feature is particularly useful for older adults and senior citizens, or people with low vision. Currently, our on-screen zoom feature for the search result works well with Internet Explorer only. Users of Firefox and Chrome are advised to use the keyboard short cut, Ctrl+ and Ctrl- to zoom in and zoom out.

 Good50 has Fewer Ads.  Many search engines have text-link ads (Sponsors) at the top of the results, which is where the most relevant results are to be displayed. Most of the time, because the label marking the text-ads as ads is inconspicuous, and the background surrounding the ads is very faint, separating organic results from the text-link ads can be difficult. Also, the format in which the text ads are displayed is very similar to the format of the true results. We believe all these factors can mislead and confuse the user.

Therefore, we have eliminated all text-link ads from the top. The user still has a choice in viewing ads, but the ads are clearly marked off on the side. We believe sometimes "seeing less is seeing more!

 Good50 is Family-Friendly.  Good50 displays search results with SafeSearch on. Sites and web pages containing adult themed and explicit content are excluded from web search results.
Good50 is for a Good Cause.  For every 50 visits, Good50 donates 5¢ to the charity of the month. This can really add up! Visit their website to see how that work!

Good50 has a Low-Vision Version.  We have a high contrast version for people with low vision. This option can also help save energy on a CRT monitor as a black background takes less energy to display than a white one. So, why not Go Green!

 Good50 is Powered by Google™.  Because Good50 is powered by Google technology, you will see high quality search results, the same as you would with Google, but in a different format.

ANNOUNCING PRUDENTIAL INDIANA REALTY GROUP ...

We are excited to announce that Realty Group Companies chose to affiliate with the Prudential Real Estate Network because it was the best fit for our future, giving us global brand recognition and industry-best technology, training and relocation services, among other key benefits. This means even better service and support for our agents and consumers.

We are honored Prudential Real Estate entrusted our company with the exclusive right to use the name “Prudential Indiana Realty Group.” We earned that distinction with three decades of rock-solid customer service, fiscal management and real estate innovation.

Our new affiliation enhances our marketing strategies, including national television and extensive web lead generating tools for our agents and consumers. Over the next few days, you will see over 2400 Prudential signs go up over Indianapolis and Indiana. .

Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services follows a true entrepreneurial model. This means that all affiliates are independently owned and operated, and that business decisions are made at the local level, by the local-market experts! We did not sell, we did not change ownership, but we did make a move for the betterment of our agents and consumers

Today we had a wonderful event with 450 sales professionals leaving full of excitement and a renewed dedication to the business and to the new Prudential Indiana Realty Group company.
While other real estate brands may be struggling financially, the Prudential Real Estate Network has the backing, stability and reputation of Prudential Financial, a 135-year-old global institution.

Watch for our new signs.  Call me if you would like one in your yard!!!!!  I'm excited about the new affiliation.  Patty  558.7804
