We are trying our best to keep up with the news around the world. It is amazing how much stuff happens in a given day. And here we thought that everyone was too busy throwing up those garbage spam comments on qball.org to do anything else. Go figure.

One thing that did happen last week was a new federal mandated credit report tool. Was does that mean? Well, we could try to explain it to you, but we'll leave it to the good folks over at MSNBC with their article on the Free Credit Reports available to everyone. Basically, since identity theft is running rampant, some believe you should not have to purchase a credit report to view any errors on it.

Technically, they are not free to everyone yet. Only the Western states appear to have this available to them. However, the site is still in its early phases (began Wednesday), so more states should soon become available on the site.

The credit site appears to be quite popular already. We have tried a few times to access it, but it proved to be much more difficult to get to the site than viewing a message apologizing for unavailable site and service. On note: you cannot access AnnualCreditReport.com from a link, as you will see if clicking on this one. There was a roadmap in place to provide our readers with a full report on credit reports and why everyone should check them, but our loyal readers understand the difficulty (laziness) of qball.org writers.

In the meantime, if anyone does access the credit report site and is able to order a credit report, we would all like to know the ease of this process. Any complaints, errors, or messages claiming that you are in debit after purchasing that leer jet? Let us know, we can copy and paste better than type for ourselves.

We promise a follow up on this post by the end of next year - or you can expect to see one good excuse. Either way, it is worth looking forward towards.
