Numia Offers Free Accounting Software for Small Businesses
www.Numia.biz
Nicholas Gerber, who made a name for himself as a candidate in the US Senate election of 2008, is now offering a free, 'in-the-cloud', accounting software for small businesses. "Anyone can access our site at numia.biz , create a company and start using our software for free," says Gerber, "an unlimited number users from the same company can be located on different continents, they can be given access to see or edit all or part of the data, that are always available 'in the cloud'." "The National Association of Accountants does not endorse 'cloud-accounting' for security reasons," notes local CPA Kathy Macchi, "but as security improves, that position might change." "We chose to have our server in England because the privacy laws are better there, the data is encrypted too; it's an 'https' address," says Gerber. Right now Numia is for service-based business, not retail, Gerber adds, "Still, we already have 3000 clients, 1/3 in India, 1/3 in United States and the last third in the rest of the world."

News from the three Chambers of Commerce
Lafayette
Lafayette 3/50 campaign was launched by Executive Director Jay Lifson on Sunday December 11, in Santa's own car, along the streets of Lafayette's business district. Residents were handed cards on which they could pledge to spend $50 in at least three different local businesses during the holiday season, then send their receipts to the Chamber before January 6th to be entered in the "Thanks for Shopping Lafayette Raffle" - the grand prize is a $500 gift card. "Driving in Santa's Lafayette caravan was fun," said Social Media Coach and Chamber volunteer Robin Fox, who accompanied Lifson in the back of the GTO convertible. "People on the street were surprised. We waved. Cars honked. Then, when we pulled into La Fiesta Square, what looked like a birthday party suddenly emerged. The kids saw Santa in the red and white Nash and broke into smiles. All fun!" Contact the Chamber for information, (925) 284-7404, 100 Lafayette Circle, Suite 103, Lafayette, CA 94549.
