For anyone processing payments online I was wondering if you knew of BancBox or VerifyValid competitors.  

When I lose a deal, I like to figure out later what my competitor paid.  

One reason I am able to charge a little less than my competitors is that I own the company, I don't have an office outside of my home, etc.  

Smart phone controlled thermostats should become very popular and competitors will rush to market.

There are competitors as well.I have a vacation home and would like to avoid a monthly bill since I'm not there all of the time.

Many agents get their money from taking listings away from their competitors.

Sometimes there are older people who get jealous of you because you are making real progress and they think it somehow puts them in a bad light or they are undisclosed competitors and are playing ageism or they are simply bitter.

Excellent list of resources, PostRank and AddThis look good, but he left out SproutSocial, a competitor of HootSuite.

@Brandon Holley said it best. find where you're falling behind by checking the competition. if you're beating your competitors in every category-pricing-exposure-features, offeringthen you will get rented.... unless it's an extreme seller's market and no one is renting. 

That way, you accomplish the same thing, risk no capital, and learn and earn instead of learn and pay.At true pro realizes there are no competitors in any market in this business, only partners and fellow investors, and should welcome your request and appreciate your initiative.
