I want to do *everything* in my power to scrub the internet of negative information related to these events, particularly press coverage of them.

You need to join local investment clubs, continue monitoring BP and asking questions, and scouring the internet for information to your questions. 

So I'm trying to rent out a place right now, but the applicant is a senior citizen and doesn't have Internet, doesn't have cell phone, and I'm pretty sure doesn't know how to use a computer.Sites like MyRental.com and SmartMove.com all require the tenant to authorize their credit check by email.In my situation, what do I do?

So, I tried to contact them with all other email addressees and phone numbers that I found from the Internet and through mutual acquaintances.  

I have been an internet marketer for 9 years and I think I can put my knowledge to good use.

I read some reviews on the internet, people having problems with Sparkrent.

Credit and background check companies are all over the Internet.  

Michael,I would say if you used Zillow or any other internet source for your valuation, you will quickly be out of the investment game. 

Be careful who you listen to on the internet. :)    

When I develop names for a new company, I start with an internet domain registration site to check if the .com version(s) my potential names are available.
