Exhibit 31.1
CERTIFICATIONS

I, MICHAEL Y. BRENT, certify that:

1.I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB/A of YTB International, Inc.
(successor to REZconnect Technologies, Inc.):


2.Based  on my  knowledge,  this  annual  report  does not  contain  any  untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made,  not  misleading  with  respect to the period  covered by this Annual
Report; and

3.Based  on  my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,   and  other  financial
information  included  in this annual  report,  fairly  present in all  material
respects the financial  condition,  results of operations  and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this Annual Report.

4.The  registrant's  other  certifying   officers  and  I  are  responsible  for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal  control over financial
reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(f) and  15d-15(f))  for the
Registrant and we have:

     a. Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
        disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
        supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
        Registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
        us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
        which this Annual Report is being prepared.

     b. Designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
        such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be designed under
        our  supervision,   to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
        reliability  of financial  reporting and the  preparation of financial
        statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
        accounting procedures;

     c. Evaluated the  effectiveness of the Registrant's  disclosure  controls
        and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
        of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     d.  Disclosed  in this  Report any  changes in the  Registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's
         most resent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
         the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
         reasonably  likely  to  material  affect,  the  Registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting; and


5. The Registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent  evaluation of internal  control over  financial  reporting,  to the
Registrant's  auditors  and the audit  committee  of the  Registrant's  board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a. All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
        operation of internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  which are
        reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the  Registrant's  ability to
        record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b. Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
        employees who have a  significant  role in the  Registrant's  internal
        controls over financial reporting.
