* It’s secure. You create and keep the “master key” (a passphrase of your choice) that encrypts your data. No one can read your data without that key, not even us.
* It’s reliable. We backup the data hourly and keep copies offsite – so that you don’t have to.
* It’s available. Your data is available to you anywhere there is a modern web browser. It’s also available to you on your mobile phone. Changes made in one propagate to the other.
* It’s convenient. A lot better than a disarray of yellow sticky notes.
* It’s cheap. In some cases, free.

A fantastic idea. A website that allows you to enter in your friends and family birthdays. It will remind you when their birthday is near, prompt you to buy a card, and then they’ll mail you the card, stamped, addressed, ready to go – all you do is sign it and mail it!

Owner of Chocolee Chocolates located in the South End of Boston Lee Napoli has more than two decades of baking experience. Her career in the food service industry began at the front of the house but she soon found her niche in the pastry shop. Lee is self taught and has worked with many talented pastry chefs to perfect her craft. This has left her with a willingness to work hard and an appreciation that success doesn’t happen over night.

All the chocolates at Chocolee are handcrafted by Lee and her associate Annie.

House Specials that are on hand at all times include 5 truffles:

* Hazelnut
* Espresso
* White Chocolate Pistachios
* Moroccan Mint
* Spicey Poblano Pepper.

House favorite chocolates at Chocolee include dark chocolate with salted caramel, dark chocolate with sesame caramel, dark chocolate with bourbon cherry and honey filling, and dark chocolate with chocolate ganache and candied ginger.

Chocolee also sells a bark called kapinziner. It is made from semi-sweet chocolate and toasted almonds.

Chocolee will also custom design chocolates and chocolate showpieces for buffet tables. The chocolates are made every day and new flavors are always being experimented with.

In addition to the large selection of dark chocolates they carry, Chocolee also has some items of the milk chocolate variety available.

Located in the heart of down-town Boston in the classic art-deco Park Square Building at 31 St. James Ave, All Things Chocolate an upscale store offers truffles, chocolates, candy and gift baskets at traditional Yankee thrift values for the discerning shopper.

All Things Chocolate is known for creative gift basketry designed to your specific individual or corporate needs.

Whether you prefer a more conservative gift confection created around a Nantucket Basket theme or a zany creation for that once in a lifetime special occasion, All Things Chocolate gifted artists will create thoughtful and unique gifts that reflect “you” and the message you want to deliver.

According to numbers released by Quantcast, CitySquares.com is the fastest-growing search site on the web. Of course, CitySquares.com is starting from a small base — it expanded in June from the Boston area to New York and all of New England — and that makes up the 1500% percent traffic jump. But there’s no denying the site has tremendous potential. (In fact, Clickz once said, “CitySquares may well be the future of local online advertising.”)

Yeah, no shit!
