A colleague had sent me the following email:
Allow me to introduce to you, My Personal Internet Valet...

http://www.mylackey.com/

http://www.vipdesk.com/VIP/

I found the concepts interesting, but they were not what I intended with my own concept of "My Personal Internet Valet" (see May 12 diary entry).  MyLackey states on its site that it will be coming to Boston soon.  Anyway, this colleague and I occasionally get into friendly power Internet searching competitions (e.g., races to see who can find first certain things online).  I wanted to respond to his email with some URLs that would trump his finds -- though imho (in my humble opinion), this colleague is the master at finding stuff and knowing what is on the Internet.

My response to his email was:
But wait, that's not all...

The Personal Internet Valet Company does appear to offer a service that is extremely similar to my concept of My Personal Internet Valet.  I sent them an email asking them when they might come to Boston and I have not yet received a reply.

Still no word yet from Cars.com.  Recall that I sent in a request for product information and a quote on June 16 to some area dealers. Maybe I misinterpreted Cars.com's following statement from their site:

Select Dealers — Serious Buyers Only 
A quote request for the vehicle you wish to purchase will be sent to each dealer with a check mark in the Get Quote column. A representative of each selected dealership will contact you shortly with a price quote on your new vehicle. To deselect a dealer, click the checkbox to remove the check mark.
