Advertising jargon translated:
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
Translation/Observation:
Have you ever notice how many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities you’ve been offered in ads? If they really are once-in-a-lifetime, shouldn’t you only get one offer like this in your entire life?

People who use multiple IM services (AIM, ICQ, MSN, etc.) know the hassles of having to install multiple client applications and running them simultaneously. Meebo.com has developed a web-based IM product designed to bring all your networks together. While not as robust as some of the stand-alone clients (for example, new message notifications are not as easy to see,) Meebo does offer some unique and intriguing features.

As most avid Harry Potter fans are currently finishing (or have already finished) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the 7th and final book in the wildly popular series, I’m about 200 pages into Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix— book number five. Yes, you heard right, I’m only on the 5th book. You see, Harry Potter and I had a little falling out the last time I tried to read book five back in 2003 when it was first released. To put it frankly, I just got bored. 
I tried my best to stick with the plot of the 870 page novel, but I gave up. Not only had I given up on the book, but I thought I had lost interest in the entire series. I didn’t even notice when the sixth book came out in 2005, and I definitely wasn’t lined up at Barnes and Noble last Friday waiting for my own copy of book seven. I had abandoned ship, until now—thanks to some word of mouth marketing.
