We know you can’t spend your entire life setting in front of your computer and even though you may want us to believe you spend all of your internet time at CubicYard.us, we know it really ain’t true!  Yep,  we know you’re sneaking off looking at  a far-away vacation paradise, or you’re trying to find the best deal on the kids’ school clothes or something really important like that.  Okay, we know what reality is all about; but here’s a question for you!  Who’s watching over your business while you’re looking for the kid’s clothes?

Well, in a way, we are.  Here’s a little background for you.  This site, www.CubicYard.us, is owned by Gulf Thunder Corporation.  Gulf Thunder Corporation operates many, many web sites.  Of course, CubicYard is the most famous!  ahem!  Anyway, there is almost continuous research going on here at Gulf Thunder (as we call it) and CubicYard normally gets about 16 hours a day devoted to it.  20 hours is not uncommon and when we’ve been in a pinch we’ve hired people on the other side of the globe (Pakistan, India, Spain, Israel, Australia) to help us out – so at times Cubic Yard is really getting attention 24 hours a day.  So far, so good.

So what happens if we snoop around and find something that we feel you really should be told about right now?  Well, we normally post it on the site, but if you’re off shopping for the kids’ clothes or counting the palm trees on that vacation beach; then you’re not going to know about it right then.  Maybe tomorrow when you come again to look around.

We found a solution!  It’s called the CubicYard Community Toolbar.  The CubicYard Community Toolbar is a toolbar that you can add to your internet browser; you know – the stuff at the top of the screen.  When you install the toolbar you will from then on have almost instantaneous communications with us.

Here’s how it works.  The toolbar has the capability to receive announcements we want to send out from Gulf Thunder.  Say we find that XYZ Property Preservation Company has just locked the doors and left the country.  Well, we can send out the notice and you’ll have a message on your screen in just a couple of minutes.  Kinda neet, huh?  We’ve also included our Cubic Yard Menu for the most important Snoopers.  That way you can just click and see what that company is up to.

There’s more:

• a chat room where you can chat confidentially to anyone in the room
• there’s an e-mail notifier that you set up to let you know you have mail (thank you AOL)
• there’s a local weather gizmo
• and Terry’s favorite – an internet radio player to soothe the savage beast

We hope you will take advantage of this great new tool.  An awful lot of time went into it’s development and resources are already allocated to look every day for ways to make it better.  We did it for you!
