Do You Know Where Your Spouse and Kids Are?

Do you know where your spouse is at this very moment? Do you know what your children are up to? How about your employees?
If you're like me at one time, you don't have a clue. Like me, you trusted that they were where they said they were going to be and doing what they were supposed to do.
Like me, there's a chance you don't know the truth.
My revelation started with my oldest son. My wife and I had an ongoing disagreement as he was growing up. I believed that children should have an expanding zone of privacy as they aged to show that we had trust in their decision-making. My wife was completely the opposite, arguing that we should closely monitor his room, his car, his computer and his calls. She didn't believe in boundaries of privacy for children, but she assented to try it my way, probably to keep peace in the household.
It turns out she was right.
After police visits and lawyer retainers and counseling appointments, I concluded that I should have listened to my wife all along. Modern life offers too many temptations, too many opportunites for poor choices, to leave children and teen-agers to their own devices. Technology, in the form of computers and cellphones, gives them greater access to a dangerous world.
But I found it it works both ways.
Determined to avoid the same mistake with our younger children, I set out to make technology work for me.
I did some research and found a solution. Children and teens love their phones and computers. In fact, if yours are anything like mine, it is almost impossible to separate them from their phones. I decided to turn this to my advantage: If they are never without their phones, then I can always know where they are. Even better, because text-messaging has all but supplanted talking, I can always know not only who they are communicating with, but what they are discussing.
How is this possible? Easy, with cellphone spy software.
I investigated several versions, most in the $350 to $400 range, before discovering SpyBubble at a much more economical $59.95.
SpyBubble is easy to install and allows you to log in from any computer and supervise almost any Android or Symbian phone or BlackBerry without being detected. They say it will be available for the iPhone soon.
You can track the exact position of the phone using Google Maps and verify whether your children truly are at the library or are somewhere else, somewhere you don't want them to be.You can see the numbers your children have called and who has called them. You can also see how many calls were made for each number, at what time they were made, and how long each one lasted.
Even better for my purposes, you can read any message that was received by or sent from the phone, even if they are later erased.
I cannot tell you how handy this has been. Already it has saved my wife and me countless headaches with our younger children, who are still trying to figure out how we know what we know. We simply tell them we are attentive parents with their best interests at heart. You might have some qualms about spying on your own children, but take from someone who has been there. You are simply helping your children avoid pitfalls and make the very best choices they can. In return you get something priceless: peace of mind.
Take my advice and check out SpyBubble.
After I told a friend of mine about it, he confided that he was having suspicions about his wife. He didn't have anything concrete, just a nagging feeling that something was off. He wondered whether SpyBubble could work for him. I urged him to talk to his wife, but he said he had and she denied anything untoward was going on. He said he had thought about hiring a private detective to follow her, but that it was too expensive. I told him SpyBubble could be a less expensive solution, if only to prove him wrong and show him he was just being paranoid.
It turns out he wasn't.
He installed SpyBubble and in just a couple of days he found out his wife had been cheating on him. He confronted her, and she confessed. Needless to say, he was devastated, but he regained some dignity and moved on with his life. After the initial pain eased, he said he was glad he did it. We know what we know, he said, and the truth is the truth.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Do You Know What Your Employees Are Doing on Your Time?

I run a small business, and productivity is crucial for my profit margin. The majority of my employees respect the workplace and their colleagues, but as in any business, there are some who don't. A couple of my workers seemed to always be falling behind, saying jobs took a lot longer than I thought they should, based on how long it had taken their predecessors.
I suspected they were cruising the Internet or taking care of personal business when they should have been concentrating on the work for which they were being paid. Now, I understand the need for down time and the occasional distraction. Taking a break is vital for optimal performance. Still, enough was enough. I warned my employees about what was expected of them while they were on the job. But little changed, and I still had my suspicions.
But no real proof.
The obvious solution cost less than $50.
I decided to test two different key tracking softwares to monitor the computers in my office:
Keylogger Computer Spying Software and IamBigBrother Software. Both were successful in identifying the employees who were wasting time. But what I discovered shocked me. One of my employees spent at least half his time looking for pornography. Another was cheating on her husband and using her work computer to conduct the affair. In one way or another, the software helped me determine how my workers were spending their time and how to change my policies and procedures to tighten up the workplace.
While Keylogger is aimed more for the business market and IamBigBrother is geared for parents who want to track the activities of their children, both have similarities. Both operate undetected on Windows operating systems, even in the Task Manager window. Both track all the Web sites visited and record every key stroke made on the computer, which make it easy to monitor chat and instant messages. They capture account names and passwords at sites like Myspace, Facebook and Gmail. Both also can take snap shots of the computer screen.
After my initial experiment, I decided to use Keylogger at my business and IamBigBrother at home on my children's computers. I let my employees know they could be monitored at any time, and it came as no surprise that their productivity improved drastically. I did not share the same information with my children. But my scrutiny of their activities has provided even greater dividends. Suffice it to say you would probably be surprised what your children will say if they don't know they are being watched.
