The 5 Most Common Mistakes In Social Media | THMG.com
Sunday, December 30th, 2012
1.Spamming Your Way to the Top
No one likes spamthe food or the Internet practice. So why companies continue to use spam-like strategies is beyond us. Just for your information, spam doesn?t merely refer to unrequested email or poor quality advertising. Spam is anything and everything that sounds like an unsolicited advertisement-including posting commercials on social media sites, adding friends that you haven?t earned, posting external comments about how great your company is, and any other cheap trick you can think of that disrespects other users. While ?selling? is acceptable at some point, you must not risk alienating your customer base by coming on too strong too soon.
2.No Strategy and No Measurability
Who starts a campaign without a strategy? Plenty of people online who figure that a few tweets and status messages later, they will be

Florida State (11-2) vs. NIU (12-1)
Jan. 1, 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
BOWL PREVIEW HUB | BOWL FAQ HUB
There's always plenty of action down on South Beach around New Year's. This January, there will also be plenty of MACtion: Northern Illinois became the first MAC team to reach a BCS game, crashing the Orange Bowl to take on heavily favored Florida State. But instead of toasting the visitors, everyone from television executives (under their breath) to TV commentators (out loud) has questioned NIU's inclusion in the game.
Consider The Herbstreit Referendum this game's ultimate storyline after ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit lambasted the Huskies on ESPN's bowl selection show. Was he stumping for his angry pal, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops? Or are the Huskies really feeble foils for the Seminoles? If there's one thing Florida State has done consistently this past decade, it's play down to its opponents and deliver unthinkable clunker losses. (This season's loss to NC State being the latest example.) Will quarterback Jordan Lynch and the Huskies deliver enough MACtion to get an equal or opposite reaction from Herbstreit and the other doubters?
Points of interest
1. Ending the drought: It's hard to believe, but Florida State hasn't won a BCS game since the 1999 season, when it beat Virginia Tech in the second BCS championship game. Before apathy and atrophy overtook the program at the end of Bobby Bowden's tenure, FSU was a regular in the top-tier bowl games, appearing in nine straight from 1992-2000. But the Seminoles haven't appeared in a game of this magnitude since 2005, an inexcusable drought for an allegedly elite program. A loss to Northern Illinois would be a giant step back for a program that can't seem to get out of its own way.
BCS simulations: EA Sports predicts narrow FSU win
Senior quarterback EJ Manuel, who has bridged the gap between the Bowden and Jimbo Fisher eras, said the Orange Bowl is an important step for the Seminoles. He isn't falling into the Herbstreit trap. "We're not taking these guys lightly," Manuel said of NIU.
2. Ground Jordan: Lynch, NIU's dual-threat quarterback, put up eye-popping numbers all season. He leads the nation in rushing (1,771) and total offense (4,733) and is tied for second in points responsible for (258). Lynch sounded offended when I asked him if he thought NIU could move the ball against FSU. He believes his ability to run will be important. "My legs are important in almost every game," Lynch said. "It keeps defenses honest in what they do."
Those who haven't seen Lynch shouldn't expect a frantic scrambler. He's a quarterback who doubles as a power back. "He's a tailback, he's a downhill runner," former Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit said of Lynch's bruising style.
3. Simple does it: Three different Huskies went out of their way to point out the simplicity of the FSU defense. But as the old clich? goes, the Jimmys and Joes are often more important than the Xs and Os. FSU has three top-tier draft prospects on its defensive line, including Bjoern Werner, who led the ACC with 13 sacks and 18 tackles for loss this season. Werner projects as a top 10 pick in April's draft.
PAULINE: NFL draft prospects to watch in Orange Bowl
Northern Illinois doesn't expect anything too fancy from the schematically vanilla Seminoles. "They're physically gifted and they know it and will play you straight and say, 'We're better than you,'" said NIU offensive lineman Matt Krempel. On New Year's Day, we'll see if they are right.
Burning question
Can Lynch play with the big boys? Lynch has only been a starter for a year. His body of work, including a 12-game winning streak and a bushel of broken records, can't be questioned. But the quality of the opponent is about to take a drastic up-tick. Lynch will have to make quicker decisions, as FSU's team speed will close running lanes quicker and put pressure on Lynch that he hasn't yet experienced. A strong performance here, though, and Lynch should enter next season as a top-five Heisman candidate.
X-factor
NIU's aerial assault: The FSU game plan seems obvious: stack the box to slow down Lynch and make him beat the Seminoles over the top. Lynch knows this and likes it. "If they try taking me away and stacking the box we have Martel Moore and Tommylee (Lewis) on the outsides, and their speed can match up with Florida State's speed," Lynch said. "Keeping them one-on-one is a great matchup for us." Cubit's Western Michigan team played NIU this year, and the coach said Lynch's arm strength was what surprised him in live action. If Moore and Lewis can find space in man coverage, Lynch will need to get them the ball.
Statistically speaking
18: NIU ranks No. 18 nationally in scoring defense, allowing 19 points per game. That's an impressive number considering how frequently the Huskies score, a rate that gives their opponents numerous opportunities of their own. The Huskies play a four-man front and pride themselves on getting pressure without blitzing. That front will face a stiff challenge attempting to contain the mobile and dangerous Manuel.
Final analysis
Florida State has been so consistently inconsistent, especially under bright lights, that it's hard to be too optimistic about the 'Noles. But the reality is that they're exponentially more talented than the Huskies. Best not to overthink this one and simply watch superior athletes dominate, especially in the trenches.
The pick
Florida State 31, NIU 11

The PC Power Cable
A PC power cable is a pretty standard piece of equipment, but there are some variations on which cords will work with which machines. In many cases, such as in the case of Dell computers, the cord is mostly universal. In other situations, you may need a different cord to support a different adapter or level of power. Either way, replacing a PC power cable is easy with the internet on your side.
Take the time to search for a PC power cable that fits your exact model of computer. You can find the model number somewhere on the tower itself. Check the watts used and the energy rating of your computer and compare it to the cords that you consider buying, as well. You don't want to end up buying a cord that's only rated for half the power your computer needs, after all.
The internet has great prices on a PC power cable that you can capitalize on. Too often, people just run to the electronics store and pay way too much for one of these cables. If you take the time to shop online and wait a few days, you can get a much lower price and still find high quality power cables to keep your computer running smoothly.
There are a lot of reasons that you might need to replace your cables. Sometimes, they get worn out over time and just don't work like they should. Other times, they might break or create a situation where they are shorting out because the wires inside are split. Or maybe you have lost your cable. There are other reasons that cables go bad, too. It's just going to be a matter of getting a new cable and making sure that it fixes the problem. If not, you have an issue bigger than a power cable.
When you are in the market for a replacement lead, you can shop online for all kinds of deals and information. You can learn about the power ratings, energy efficiency, and other features of different cords and cables and see which ones will be best for your needs. For those who do still have PCs, power is critical and this cable needs to be replaced as soon as possible to maintain it. With the internet on your side, it's easy to replace your PC power cord and make sure you get the best price at the same time.
It's important to buy the correct cable for your device. You should get advice if you have any doubt about which cable to buy. Many retailers can offer expert advice.

New NHL offer leads to scheduled talks with union

NEW YORK (AP) ? The NHL is set to get back to the bargaining table with the locked-out players' association after a new contract offer from the league broke the ice between the sides.
Those talks are scheduled to take place Sunday in New York, nearly one month after negotiations broke down and pushed the sides further apart.
Without fanfare, the NHL said Friday that it made a new proposal to the union on Thursday in an effort to end the lockout and save the delayed hockey season.
The players' association was still reviewing the document, which was several hundred pages in length, on Friday night and planned to speak to the NHL by telephone on Saturday, and then get together with the league on Sunday.
The sides haven't met since a second round of talks with a federal mediator ended on Dec. 13. They haven't had formal negotiations alone since the first week of the month.
Time is running out to come to an agreement and then play a season of at least 48 games ? a number the NHL set as a minimum. The league would like to reach a deal by Jan. 11, start training camp the following day, and open the season by Jan. 19.
"We delivered to the union a new, comprehensive proposal for a successor CBA," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement Friday. "We are not prepared to discuss the details of our proposal at this time. We are hopeful that once the union's staff and negotiating committee have had an opportunity to thoroughly review and consider our new proposal, they will share it with the players. We want to be back on the ice as soon as possible."
The players' association's executive board and negotiating committee went over the proposal during an internal conference call on Friday, the 104th day of the lockout.
A person familiar with key points of the offer told The Associated Press that the league proposed raising the limit of individual free-agent contracts to six years from five ? seven years if a team re-signs its own player; raising the salary variance from one year to another to 10 percent, up from 5 percent; and one compliance buyout for the 2013-14 season that wouldn't count toward a team's salary cap but would be included in the overall players' share of income.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the new offer were not being discussed publicly.
The NHL maintained the deferred payment amount of $300 million it offered in its previous proposal, an increase from an earlier offer of $211 million. The initial $300 million offer was pulled off the table after negotiations broke off earlier this month.
The latest proposal is for 10 years, running through the 2021-22 season, with both sides having the right to opt out after eight years.
The lockout has reached a critical stage, threatening to shut down a season for the second time in eight years. All games through Jan. 14, plus the Winter Classic and the All-Star game already have been called off. The next round of cuts could claim the entire schedule.
The NHL is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of a labor dispute, losing the 2004-05 campaign to a lockout. A 48-game season was played in 1995 after a lockout stretched into January.
It is still possible this dispute could eventually be settled in the courts if the sides can't reach a deal on their own.
The NHL filed a class-action suit this month in U.S. District Court in New York in an effort to show its lockout is legal. In a separate move, the league filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, contending bad-faith bargaining by the union.
Those moves were made because the players' association took steps toward potentially filing a "disclaimer of interest," which would dissolve the union and make it a trade association. That would allow players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NHL.
Union members voted overwhelmingly to give their board the power to file the disclaimer by Jan. 2. If that deadline passes, another authorization vote could be held to approve a later filing.
Negotiations between the NHL and the union have been at a standstill since talks ended Dec. 6. One week later, the sides convened again with federal mediators in New Jersey, but still couldn't make progress.
The sides have been unable to reach agreement on the length of the new deal, the length of individual player contracts, and the variance in salary from year to year. The NHL is looking for an even split of revenues with players.
The NHL pulled all previous offers off the table after the union didn't agree to terms on its last proposal without negotiation.

China clamps down on Internet restrictions
The Chinese government issued new rules Friday handing Internet companies a greater role in Internet censorship in a country where the Internet offers a rare opportunity for debate.
China unveiled tighter Internet controls on Friday, legalizing the deletion of posts or pages that are deemed to contain "illegal" information and requiring service providers to hand over such information to the authorities for punishment.

The rules signal that the new leadership headed by Communist Party chief?Xi Jinping?will continue muzzling the often scathing, raucous online chatter in a country where the Internet offers a rare opportunity for debate.
The new regulations, announced by the official Xinhua news agency, also require Internet users to register with their real names when signing up with network providers, though, in reality, this already happens.
Chinese authorities and Internet companies such as Sina Corp have long since closely monitored and censored what people say online, but the government has now put measures such as deleting posts into law.
"Service providers are required to instantly stop the transmission of illegal information once it is spotted and take relevant measures, including removing the information and saving records, before reporting to supervisory authorities," the rules state.
The restrictions follow a series of corruption scandals amongst lower-level officials exposed by Internet users, something the government has said it is trying to encourage.
Li Fei, deputy head of parliament's legislative affairs committee, said the new rules did not mean people needed to worry about being unable to report corruption online. But he added a warning too.
"When people exercise their rights, including the right to use the Internet, they must do so in accordance with the law and constitution, and not harm the legal rights of the state, society ... or other citizens," he told a news conference.
Chinese Internet users already cope with extensive censorship measures, especially over politically sensitive topics like human rights and elite politics, and popular foreign sites Facebook,?Twitter?and Google-owned?YouTube?are blocked.
Earlier this year, the government began forcing users of Sina's wildly successful?Weibo microblogging platform?to register their real names.
The new rules were quickly condemned by some?Weibo?users.
"So now they are getting?Weibo?to help in keeping records and reporting it to authorities. Is this the freedom of expression we are promised in the constitution?" complained one user.
"We should resolutely oppose such a covert means to interfere with Internet freedom," wrote another.
The government says tighter monitoring of the Internet is needed to prevent people making malicious and anonymous accusations online, disseminating pornography and spreading panic with unfounded rumours, pointing out that many other countries already have such rules.
Despite periodic calls for political reform, the party has shown no sign of loosening its grip on power and brooks no dissent to its authority.

EnergyFit Nevada Improves Home Quality
My last column about the season of giving suggested that Green Living can be a wonderful way to express our appreciation to those we care about. Just after I wrote it, a friend sent a wonderful email providing a real world example of exactly what I had in mind. I?ll refer to this couple as Jenn and Rob.
The excitement in Jenn?s email was obvious. She mentioned ?a Merrier Christmas season? for her and Rob, attributing it to the energy efficient, home quality improvements they had implemented earlier this year after moving in to a home built in the early 60s.
Jenn included some images of a recent online utility bill and wrote, ?Just look at our latest NV Energy bill. See the graph comparing our energy use to neighboring homes?! Our house is a little larger than average for this neighborhood and we are paying close to 40% less each month in energy bills!?
Not Very Sexy
She told me later that she just got excited while paying the bill and decided to share the news with her friends. Energy efficiency may not be the sexiest thing in the world, but I can almost guarantee that every time Jenn and Rob get their bill, they will both be grateful for what they have given to each other.
How did they do it? Here is what Jenn wrote:
?Following our energy efficiency upgrades we tested out at about a 37% improvement. And our NV Energy bills have been right on track! We started with an $11,000 total package that included a new variable speed pool pump, blown-in attic insulation, replacement of one of two heat pumps, and new programmable thermostats. Still, we were only out of pocket $1,700 after all the great rebates and our green mortgage! We have lots more we want to do (mainly windows and patio doors ? there?s tons of them!) and want to see just how low we can go?before Santa finally brings our solar panels (next year, maybe??).
?Oops! ?almost forgot to include one of our favorite new features?our Solar Water Heater?love it! At least we have one sexy solar panel on our roof!?
Hmm, perhaps I was wrong about this stuff not being sexy. Jenn?s excitement really comes through in her message, as well as the fact that they are nowhere near done. The couple is looking forward to further changes that will lower their bills even more while improving their home quality, comfort and value.
Unexpected Results
Aside from experiencing a more comfortable summer this year, Jenn said one welcome benefit was immediately obvious. When one of their old heat pumps was replaced with a more efficient unit, the contractors also repaired a previously undetected problem with the air intake system. This led to an unexpected improvement in the indoor air quality of the home that was delightfully noticed within minutes of turning on the new system.
If you are interested in giving your family a similar gift, you are in for a pleasant surprise. EnergyFit Nevada is a non-profit organization that helps homeowners through the entire process, step by step. They provide pre-qualified contractors; they are aware of all available incentives, including NV Energy, Southwest Gas and others; and can even explain the benefits of a green mortgage. Best of all, they offer performance-based rebates that help pay for your improvements.
The Process
The basic process is simple. Initial testing establishes a baseline that, coupled with a detailed inspection, helps determine what improvements are best suited for each particular home. The homeowner selects from the available options and the work is done by contractors who are properly trained for the program. Final testing determines the amount of improvement, and therefore the rebate amount.
EnergyFit Nevada consists of a great group of people who are making a difference. They have helped a lot of folks like Jenn and Rob. If you have an older home and high energy bills, why not give them a call? It just might be the best gift you can buy.

Ouya developer kits are shipping, $99 Android game console ...
The makers of the Ouya video game console have started shipping developer kits to folks who paid $699 or more during the team?s successful Kickstarter campaign. The company plans to start shipping Ouya units to customers early in 2013, with the video game console selling for about $99 plus shipping.
SlashGear reports the first units should begin arriving this week.
The Ouya game console is a small box with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, a USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, and HDMI ports.
It runs Google Android software, but it?s not a phone or a tablet. Instead the Ouya console is designed to be plugged into your television so you can play games on the big screen. It also includes a wireless game controller, a game store, and more.
The developer consoles come with two controllers ? but their main appeal is that they?re shipping a few months ahead of the final units, which should give game developers (or serious enthusiasts) a chance to try out the device before it?s available to the general public, and adapt games to run on the platform.
While there?s no shortage of video game consoles for the living room, the developers of the Ouya project want to lower the barriers to entry for independent game developers. Basically, if you can create a game that runs on Android, it can run on Ouya ? you don?t need to go through the hassle of signing with a game publisher, packaging the title on a disc and distributing it to game stores.
On the other hand, the Ouya is expected to ship to regular customers in early 2013 with hardware that was state of the art in early 2012. While you can still write some pretty nifty games for the Tegra 3 processor, Samsung and Qualcomm are already offering mobile processors with significantly more graphics power, and NVIDIA is expected to launch a Tegra 4 chip soon.
Will the Ouya feel dated by the time it finally arrives? Then again? with a $99 price tag, does it really matter?

$78M Refinancing Deal Secured for M-U West Hollywood Property ...
December 27, 2012

?For the refinancing of the right properties in the right locations, lenders made loans left and right this year, and The Sunset in West Hollywood, Calif., is among the assets to benefit from the favorable financing opportunities. With the assistance of commercial real estate and capital markets services provider HFF, Broadreach Capital Partners landed a $78 million loan to refinance existing debt on the 178,000-square-foot mixed-use destination along the Sunset Strip.
The Sunset might have been developed 50 years ago but, as is hardly uncommon in Hollywood, it has benefited from a complete makeover. In 2001 the property at 8560-8580 Sunset Blvd., then known as Sunset Millennium, underwent a transformation with the full redevelopment of its 71,100-square-foot office building, followed in 2002 by the addition of a 106,800-square-foot retail and office plaza and a 937-space parking facility. And just months after Broadreach completed the approximately $100 million acquisition of the multi-structure complex from Apollo Real Estate Advisors in early 2007, the real estate private equity firm further upgraded the complex through a renovation and repositioning program.
AIG Asset Management Group provided the financing, which came in the form of a three-year, floating-rate loan with the option for two one-year extensions. It wasn?t exactly a big risk. The Sunset is presently 95 percent occupied, and the West Hollywood market is one of the strongest in Los Angeles County. At mid-year, the office vacancy was 6.6 percent, according to statistics from commercial real estate information and analytic services provider CoStar, and in the third quarter the total retail vacancy was just 4.2 percent.
In the country?s top markets, it?s been a big year for refinancing?in volume and in size?and the fourth quarter was no exception. In Manhattan, Vornado Realty Trust refinanced the 2.1 million-square-foot office high-rise at 1290 Avenue of the Americas to the tune of $950 million, leaving the REIT with net proceeds of $522 million after the repayment of the existing loan. Thor Equities obtained a $365 million package for the 1,639-room Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. In Washington, D.C., Republic Properties secured $243 million for the 510,000-square-foot Portals III trophy office building and utilized the bridge loan to refinance a previous loan and fund future leasing costs.
It?s unclear what 2013 will bring. ?Mortgage originations will be $1.7 trillion in 2012, falling to $1.4 trillion in 2013 as rates rise,? per a third quarter report by the Mortgage Bankers Association. ?This decrease will be driven by a steady decline in refinance originations as rates increase over 4 percent since many borrowers have already refinanced into mortgages in the 3.5 to 4 percent range.? Later in the report, however, MBA noted, ?Recent data on refinance applications show that borrowers are still applying to refinance their current loans, and we have raised our originations estimate for the fourth quarter of 2012 and for the first quarter of 2013.?

Retailers pull stocks lower on poor holiday sales

NEW YORK (AP) ? Retailers pulled stocks lower Wednesday as U.S. markets reopened following the Christmas holiday.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 49 points to 13,090 as of noon. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell seven to 1,419 and the Nasdaq composite lost 19 to 2,993.
Trading was quiet. European markets were still closed.
Major U.S. retailers fell following a glum report on U.S. holiday sales. Macy's and Urban Outfitters lost 3 percent. Sears Holdings fell nearly 5 percent.
The MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse report found that sales of electronics, clothing, jewelry and home goods increased just 0.7 percent in the two months before Christmas compared with the same period last year.
That's well below the growth of 3 to 4 percent growth that analysts had expected and the worst performance since 2008, when spending shrank during the Great Recession. Last year sales climbed 4 to 5 percent during November and December, according to ShopperTrak.
The disappointing holiday sales figures outweighed the latest hopeful indicator on the U.S. housing market.
Home prices rose in most major U.S. cities in October compared with the same month a year ago, according to the latest Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national home price index. Sales rose at the same time the supply of available homes declined. The index increased 4.3 percent, the largest year-over-year jump in two and a half years, when a homebuyer tax credit temporarily boosted sales.
Retailers and other consumer discretionary stocks led the market lower. Macy's gave up $1.05 to $36.48, Target fell 73 cents to $58.81, Urban Outfitters fell $1.21 to $38.09 and Sears Holdings fell $1.80 to $38.47. Coach, the luxury handbag maker, sank $3.20 to $54.32, a decline of 6 percent, the biggest in the S&P 500 index.
Traders were also watching to see if a budget agreement materializes in Washington. President Barack Obama cut short his Christmas vacation in Hawaii and was returning to Washington later Wednesday to resume budget talks with Congressional Republicans.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note edged down to 1.75 percent from 1.77 percent Monday. Trading was closed Tuesday for the Christmas holiday. Oil prices rose. Benchmark crude gained $2.37 to $90.98 a barrel.
Japanese stocks hit a nine-month high as a pro-business government prepared to assume leadership. The Nikkei 225 index surged 1.5 percent to 10,230.36.
Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has put pressure on the Bank of Japan to raise its inflation target. The goal is to extricate the country from two decades of deflation, or declining prices, which has deadened the world's third-largest economy.

5 Love Lessons From Holiday Movies | YourTango
From Rudolph to The Nightmare Before Christmas, these movies are filled with love.
Cuddled up on the couch today watching holiday movies? Here's what you can learn about love from some of our favorite Christmas flicks.
More from YourTango: 7 Things We Learned About Dating In 2012
1. The most unexpected people might be the ones who pull through for you
Sure, Rudolph may have been about a reindeer and a sticky situation for Santa, but that doesn?t mean you can?t take a love lesson from it. Everyone thought Rudolph was a lost cause and no one wanted to give him a chance. However, the moment he was truly needed, he became a knight in shining (or glowing) armor and saved the day. Basically, don?t write someone off simply because they?re a little strange or different than anyone else you?ve dated ??he may wind up being the most steadfast rock in your life.
2. People can be redeemed with support
A Christmas Carol holds one of the most important lessons in both life and the holiday season: people do change, sometimes. While Scrooge seemed to be a truly miserable human being, when his negative actions and demeanor were shown to him? rather than simply being yelled ? he was able to evolve into a better human being. When it comes to serious relationship problems, you should attempt to explain to your partner the problems you have with him. Let him know that you want things to work out for the two of you. If he takes the necessary steps to grow and change for the better with your support, your relationship can be rescued.
3. Don?t take your current situation for granted (but do explore your options)
In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington is bored with his very prestigious role in Halloween Town, even with his devoted love interest Sally. When he falls down a rabbit hole of sorts and winds up exploring an entirely new land, he finds himself enthralled in a 'grass is greener' situation (though in this case, the snow is whiter). Eventually, after nearly destroying his relationships with everyone around him, he recognizes the importance of being happy with what you have. Don?t simply covet change because it?s 'new'. If you have somebody you love who loves you, try to work with what you have and create excitement that way. Keep reading ...

How to 'tether' your PC to your phone
A lawsuit now makes 'tethering' PCs and phones cheaper.
Last year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigated Verizon Wireless for stifling a very useful smart-phone trick.

While laptops often need cables or Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet, phones can log on from just about anywhere. So if you find yourself with excellent cellular reception but no Wi-Fi ? such as on a road trip, in an airport, or at home during a power outage ? why not connect your two devices? Let your smart phone deliver Internet access to your computer. It's called "tethering."
Until last summer, when Verizon settled with the FCC for $1.25 million, tethering was costly. Phone companies locked away the feature behind an extra monthly fee. Even if you never went over your phone's data allowance, the carriers wanted $15 to $20 a month to let you pass that data along to your PC.
Now, thanks to new monthly plans and software, tethering is much less expensive.
Verizon and AT&T revamped their data plans last summer. Both now focus on a large pool of data ? anywhere from 250 megabytes to 10 gigabytes a month ? that people can share across multiple devices and family members.
If you sign up for Verizon's Share Everything or AT&T's Mobile Share plans, tethering is free of charge ? as long as you stick to your monthly data allotment. Most smart phones come with a built-in "mobile hotspot" feature. For example, iPhone 5 owners can find the toggle by opening "Settings" and then "Cellular." Once the hotspot is turned on, computers can connect to it as if it were a Wi-Fi network.
Sprint, T-Mobile, and older plans from Verizon and AT&T still charge about $20 a month to turn on a phone's mobile hotspot. However, because of the FCC settlement, Verizon won't charge for using third-party tethering applications. The Android app store has several good options with one-time fees, such as PdaNet ($15) and EasyTether ($10). EasyTether Lite costs nothing, but blocks secure websites and instant messengers.
Tether.com tried to release a third-party ?iPhone app to escape Verizon's extra fee. However, Apple rejected the app, as it has all tethering apps. (Apple has not publicly said why.) So the engineers at Tether found a way around Apple. They rigged up a way to tether an iPhone to a computer completely through the phone's Web browser. The service costs $30 a year and works with Apple, Android, and BlackBerry devices. You'll need to watch your monthly data usage, but Tether.com says that its service is completely aboveboard.

Gunman who ambushed firefighters killed grandma in '80
Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering says the gunman, who he identified as William Spengler, was a convicted felon who served 17 years in prison for killing his grandmother more than three decades ago.
By Jason White, NBC News
Monroe County Sheriff's Office
Undated booking photo of William Spengler, who shot and killed two firefighters Monday.
The gunman who ambushed four volunteer firefighters, killing two, in upstate New York had spent 17 years in prison for beating his grandmother to death with a hammer in 1980, police said.
William Spengler opened fire on the volunteers as they responded to a blaze just before 6 a.m. ET in a small cluster of homes along Lake Ontario in Webster, N.Y., police said, rocking this close-knit community.
The 62-year-old convicted felon had apparently set a trap, luring in first responders and then firing on them from atop an earthen berm.
"It does appear that it was a trap that was set,"?said Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering,?his voice breaking at times.??People who get up in the middle of the night to fight fires, they don?t expect to get shot and killed."
Pickering lost a colleague in the incident: Police Lieutenant?Michael Chiapperini, who was a volunteer firefighter. The other firefighter killed by Spengler was?Tomasz Kaczowka.
Despite being shot, one of the injured firefighters was able to flee from scene under his own power. But the others remained pinned down on the narrow strip of land between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay until a SWAT team arrived.
Webster Police Lt. Michael Chiapperini.
As police closed in, Spengler took his own life with a gunshot wound to the head, Pickering said. He was convicted of manslaughter in 1981 after the death of his grandmother, Rose Spengler, and was paroled in 1998.
Spengler's 67-year-old sister Cheryl Spengler is unaccounted for, Pickering said. Spengler lived in the house with his sister and mother, Arline, who died in October.
Prior to Monday's shooting, Webster police had not had any run-ins with Spengler since he was paroled, they said.
Police would not say what kinds of guns Spengler used, but as a convicted felon, he could not legally own firearms.

The two injured firefighters, Theodore Scardino and?Joseph Hofstetter,?were being treated for "significant injuries," according to Dr. Nicole Stassen, a surgeon at the?University of Rochester Medical Center. She said both were awake and alert and not on ventilators.
An off-duty police officer was also injured when he was hit by shrapnel after his car took bullets to the windshield and engine block, according to the?Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. His condition is unclear at this time.
After the shooting, the fire grew to engulf at seven homes and one motor vehicle.?
?These firemen are part of our family. You go into a fire with these guys. To see them go down with something like this is totally unexpected. We are in shock,? Billy Gross, fire commissioner for West Webster, told the?Democrat and Chronicle.
Dozens of area residents were evacuated, with police searching them as they left, the newspaper reported.
"Miserable thing to happen this time of year," Mark Johns, a state assemblyman who represents the area, told?local NBC station WHEC. Johns said he knew some of the firefighters who were shot.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a statement after the shooting, offering his "deepest condolences."
?All of our thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of those who were killed in this senseless act of violence," Cuomo said.??New York's first responders are true heroes as they time and again selflessly rush toward danger in order to keep our families and communities safe."
NBC's Tom Winter and Rosanna Arlia contributed to this report.
Investigators say the firefighters were ambushed and shot while responding to a fire in West Webster, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester. NBC's Chris Pollone reports.

Officials: NY gunman led quiet life before killing 2 firefighters
WEBSTER, N.Y. - A man who set his house on fire then lured firefighters to their deaths in a blaze of flames and bullets had attracted little attention since he got out of prison in the 1990s for killing his grandmother, authorities said.
But two months ago, William Spengler's mother died, leaving the 62-year-old ex-con in a Lake Ontario house with his sister, who he "couldn't stand," a friend said.
Spengler set a car and a house in his neighbourhood ablaze early Monday, luring firefighters to the neighbourhood and then killed two, wounded two others and injured a police officer while several homes burned around him, police said. Spengler then killed himself. His sister, Cheryl, was missing.
About 100 people attended an impromptu memorial vigil Monday evening in Webster, a suburb of Rochester. Dozens of bouquets were left at the fire station, along with a handwritten sign that said, "Thanks for protecting us. RIP."
Spengler, had been living in the home in Webster, a suburb of Rochester, with his mother and sister since his parole in 1998. He had served 17 years in prison after the beating death of his 92-year-old grandmother in 1980, for which he had originally been charged with murder but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter. His mother, Arline, died in October.
On Monday, Spengler fired at the four firefighters when they arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. at the blaze, town police Chief Gerald Pickering said. The first police officer who arrived chased the gunman and exchanged shots.
Spengler lay in wait outdoors for the firefighters' arrival, then opened fire probably with a rifle and from atop an earthen berm, Pickering said. "It does appear it was a trap," he said.
Authorities used an armoured vehicle to help residents flee dozens of homes on the shore of Lake Ontario a day before Christmas. Police restricted access to the neighbourhood, and officials said it was unclear whether there were other bodies in the seven houses left to burn.
Authorities said Spengler hadn't done anything to bring himself to their attention since his parole. As a convicted felon, he wasn't allowed to possess weapons. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Spengler led a very quiet life after he got out of prison.
A friend said Spengler hated his sister. Roger Vercruysse lived next door to Spengler and recalled a man who doted on his mother, whose obituary suggested contributions to the West Webster Fire Department.
"He loved his mama to death," said Vercruysse, who last saw his friend about six months ago.
Vercruysse also said Spengler "couldn't stand his sister" and "stayed on one side of the house and she stayed on the other."
The West Webster Fire District learned of the fire early Monday after a report of a car and house on fire on Lake Road, on a narrow peninsula where Irondequoit Bay meets Lake Ontario, Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn said.
The fire appeared from a distance as a pulsating ball of flame glowing against the early morning sky, flames licking into treetops and reflecting on the water, with huge bursts of smoke billowing away in a brisk wind.
Emergency radio communications capture someone saying he "could see the muzzle flash coming at me" as Spengler carried out his ambush. The audio posted on the website RadioReference.com has someone reporting "firefighters are down" and saying "got to be rifle or shotgun - high powered ... semi or fully auto."
Two of the firefighters arrived on a fire engine and two in their own vehicles, Pickering said. After Spengler fired, one of the wounded men fled, but the other three couldn't because of flying gunfire.
The police officer who exchanged gunfire with Spengler "in all likelihood saved many lives," Pickering said.
A police armoured vehicle was used to recover two men, and eventually it removed 33 people from nearby homes, the police chief said. The gunfire initially kept firefighters from battling the blazes.
The dead men were identified as police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, 43, the Webster Police Department's public information officer; and 19-year-old Tomasz Kaczowka, also a 911 dispatcher.
Pickering described Chiapperini as a "lifetime firefighter" with nearly 20 years in the department, and he called Kaczowka a "tremendous young man."
Kaczowka's brother, reached at the family home Monday night, said he didn't want to talk.
The two wounded firefighters, Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, remained in guarded condition Tuesday at Strong Memorial Hospital, authorities said. Both were awake and alert and are expected to recover.
Hofstetter, also a full-timer with the Rochester Fire Department, was hit once in the pelvis, and the bullet lodged in his spine, authorities said. Scardino was hit in the chest and knee.
At West Webster Fire Station 1, there were at least 20 bouquets on a bench in front and a bouquet of roses with three gold-and-white ribbons saying, "May they rest in peace," ''In the line of duty" and "In memory of our fallen brothers."
A handwritten sign says, "Thanks for protecting us, RIP." Two candles were lit to honour the dead.
Grieving firefighters declined to talk to reporters. At an impromptu memorial vigil Monday evening, about 100 people stood in the cold night air, some holding candles. A fire department spokesman made a brief appearance, thanked them all and told them to go home and appreciate their families.
Cathy Bartlett was there with her teenage son, who was good friends with Kaczowka. Bartlett's husband, Mark Bartlett, has been a firefighter there for 25 years but missed the call this morning.
"Thank God my husband slept through the first alarm and didn't get up until the second one went off," she said.
The shooting and fires were in a neighbourhood of seasonal and year-round homes set close together across the road from the lakeshore. The area is popular with recreational boaters but is normally quiet this time of year.
"We have very few calls for service in that location," Pickering said. "Webster is a tremendous community. We are a safe community, and to have a tragedy befall us like this is just horrendous."
O'Flynn lamented the violence, which comes on the heels of other shootings including the massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"It's sad to see that this is becoming more commonplace in communities across the nation," O'Flynn said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the State Police and Office of Emergency Management were working with local authorities.
"Volunteer firefighters and police officers were injured and two were taken from us as they once again answered the call of duty," Cuomo said in a statement. "We as the community of New York mourn their loss as now two more families must spend the holidays without their loved ones."
Webster, a middle-class suburb, now is the scene of violence linked to house fires for two Decembers in a row.
Last Dec. 7, authorities say, a 15-year-old boy doused his home with gasoline and set it ablaze, killing his father and two brothers, 16 and 12. His mother and 13-year-old sister escaped with injuries. He is being prosecuted as an adult.
