LOL - Laugh Out Loud
2007-10-13 03:31:00
Here's a secret, sometimes a way to find sites is to just type it in on the search box and see what it comes up with. I tried it and here is the result. Sitting on my computer trying to find a new site or service I thought about a chat "slang"- LOL and there it was, a site - http://www.lol.com/This site does exactly as the name suggests, Makes you LOL ( Laugh Out Loud ), well most of the time. It contains jokes of all kinds, funny as well as the one's that you might find scratching your head to understand what it really means. I found the site to be pretty fun as it had something to keep me clicking the " Tell me another " button. Also if you wanna check out the development of this site you can check out their blog. The site's layout might be a bit of a turn off since its simple but like the saying goes " Don't judge a book by its cover " this site can provide you with hours of laughter when you are feeling down, so go ahead and LOL!Did you like this post?

ProductWiki - Wikipedia like site for products
2007-10-11 01:12:00
ProductWiki resembles Wikipedia in the sense it offers exact same service but for product reviews. On this site, each user can review products and add their own reviews or edit reviews submitted by other users. So, in a nutshell this site allows you to look at products that are reviewed by consumers, like us so you can get unbiased opinion and facts from other users. Also the reviews are divided into categories which makes it much easier to find a particular review on. Each product has a brief description which is followed by user edited pros and cons. I found this site to be very informative as reviews come out from general users and not through sponsored results, which most of the time are biased. Think about it, if somebody wants to put an ad on my blog, I would be somewhat biased towards their products as they are paying for their ad to run on my blog. I loved this site and will be visiting regularly to see what people have to say about products that I am interested in, what a...

Chinswing – Web Forum with voice instead of text
2007-10-08 03:16:00
Have you ever felt the need to participate in a web forum without having the need to type? Wouldn’t it be nice to share your feelings and opinions using your voice instead of fingers on a web forum? Chinswing, a service which lets you share and participate in a discussion does exactly that. You can use voice messages to participate in an ongoing topic, ask for suggestions, start a new discussion and all this will be done using voice messages instead of text postings. I know, relief to the sore fingers. Some of the features that I liked about this service is being able to use your voice instead of your fingers, ofcourse, and the fact that everything is divided into categories so you can pick a particular category and start participating. Cool service, by the way, I love those little green monster, gobblin images on the front page.

Why go to Church? Confess at i4Giveu

This post was supposed to be for tomorrow but I couldn’t wait, so here it is! Wow! Yes, wow is the word to define this site. I had no clue in the known world, there would be a site like this, it is amazing. Alright I am going to stop hitting darts in dark and get right to the point. I4giveu is a website that allows you to post your sins and be rated from other members. You can rate other people’s sin based on whether or not it is forgivable. It is pretty neat, I don’t know how many people would take the word of other members instead of a priest, but hey it’s a fun time in there. The good thing about the site is to rate a sin, you do not have to be a member. You can signup and post your sins and see how forgivable it is or just go ahead and put a halo or horns on sins done by other members. I tried it and I was kind of hooked. Some of the sins people have posted in there are hilarious. Also the tag cloud makes it really easy to pick a particular subject and make a comment on...

Million Dollar and Million Euro Wiki
2007-10-05 02:22:00
For those who haven’t heard of Million Euro Wiki .com and MillionDoll ar Wiki.com you have got to check it out. The concept of both pages are the same. Its like Wikipedia and you can buy a page on these sites with the word you like. I bought two names “Web” and “Domain Name”. The difference from Wikipedia is that the pages you buy on these sites are owned by the respective owners, and can be used as they please as long as it is not offending to anybody and does not contain any illegal or adult material. Also the content should be relevant to the name of the page.This a good opportunity for investors as these sites will grow since its viral in nature. MillionDollarWiki has already sold 1020 pages in few weeks and is counting and MillionEuroWiki has sold 73 pages so far.The other thing with these sites is you won't really have to drive the traffic. Since your pages are within the site ( like Wikipedia ) if somebody comes to that site and is looking for a page where they can find...

360 Desktop - What a concept
2007-10-03 02:44:00
Last night while I was stumbling pages on stumbleupon is when I came across this site. This is was one of the easy finds as I wasn't specifically looking for something to write about and there it was, grabbing my attention - 360 Desktop .This is one awesome idea that lets you expand your desktop space. Think for a moment, You have two word documents and three excel document open and a web browser as well and you are working with all of them and you dont want to minimize any one, this is where this software is going to help. With 360 desktop you get a desktop that you can move around all the way round. You can have all the windows open and move from one to another by simply moving your mouse as the desktop will move with you.To make it easier think of a product that you can view all the way around ( 360 degree ). Same principle but for your desktop space. Honestly, I just dont have the words to describe this software so please do this program justice by visiting the site and watch th...

Diigo ? Post sticky notes on sites you visit
2007-09-29 18:32:00
I came across this site recently and I can definitely say it has made my browsing experience much more simplified and pleasurable.Diigo is a social annotation site that lets you post sticky notes on a webpage so next time you visit the site you remember something that you would otherwise forget. Just like that post-it-note that you stuck on your computer to remind you of something. Think, you visited Work N Play and added it to your favorites and you didn?t visit the site for a month ( that is rude ) and when you eventually did you forgot something that you wanted to say or write or read on the site. This is where diigo comes in handy.When you find a site and like it or have something you want to do later you can create a sticky post to remind you later, this sticky post stays on that site and you will be able to view it only when you browse the net by signing in to your diigo account. Also you can highlight texts on any site and add a note or remark as well. Please see the screensh...

Animoto - Create Video Using Your Images
2007-09-27 18:20:00
Sometimes while browsing the internet you find things that you just can?t go without trying. Animoto is a web service that lets you create your own trailer ( just like a movie ) or video using images from your computer and a tune.The main objective of this site is to allow you to create a video or a trailer using your images which animates or moves along with the tune of the music you provide. You can also select tunes from their library which currently has Indie Rock, HipHop and Electronica. Sample Video I made using my Images ( I tried embedding the video here but for some reason it didnt work, so please click the link to watch the video )The site is simple to use, just upload your pictures, choose a music and hit create video. The only drawback that I found on this site was when the video was rendering, it almost took five minutes to create a video using ten images that I had uploaded, but after the video was created I felt every second was worth the wait.

Affiliate Marketing in recent years has become very popular. We all have probably served as an affiliate marketer at some point in time, be it by using Amazon, ebay, linkshare or other services.AbestWeb, the largest affiliate marketing forum is one of the most active and informational affiliate marketing forum I have seen on the internet.

Rmail - Feed Subscription
2007-09-23 02:23:00
This is something that I found to be extremely useful. Most of the blogs offer you an email subscription so you can get the feeds right to your inbox ( like the one I have on the sidebar, go ahead, subscribe, ;-) but not every blog has this feature and not every blogger realizes that they can add this feature.Rmail, an email feed subscription service takes care of that. If you find a blog that you want to subscribe using your email address and cant see an option on the blog itself, go ahead and give this service a try. The service is free, all you have to do is enter the feed address and the email address that you want to use to subscribe the feeds.Also, if your blogging software or platform has an email gateway this service can be used to post entries to one?s blog through their email as well.

Cre8buzz - Social Networking Site

Social Networking Site s - they seem to be everywhere! Myspace and Facebook laid out the path for other networking sites but it has been a while since we have had any good ones come out on the internet. I was glad when I came across cre8buzz as this site has a very clean and fresh look to it compared to Myspace's cluttered and advertisement jammed interface.Cre8buzz.com, still in private Beta is said to be out in public in about couple weeks, probably 4-5 weeks at the most. I was lucky enough to get an invitation to join the private beta testing to give feedbacks on any bugs and so on. I joined yesterday and I used the site for about 3 hours and I didnt have any problems, so it is surely going in the right path.Another things that really won me over was the design of this site. The site is clean and very soothing to look at with nice design and easy navigation. Your profile has sections divided into categories like podcasting, video galleries, pictures, recent visitors, comment box ...

Voice Your Suggestion
2007-09-19 05:30:00
We all have suggestions and opinions, be it for the cell phone service we use or the software product that we bought, or the city lake that only holds algae and no fish. Its suggestions from us, consumers or citizens that makes the product and services of a company rise or fall. On my quest to find a site to voice my opinion and suggestion I came across Should do this.Should do this is a website that lets you voice your suggestion to companies,city officials or products. Yes, you can simply call the company or the product hotline but if you ever have you know it takes a while to get connected, and not to mention the hold after finally getting connected to a customer rep. The service this website provides gets rid of that, to a point.Here is an exact quote from the website to give you a clear idea of what it is ?We all have ideas for making things better.

This is one of those sites that I have fallen in love with. All the information and lists I have came across through this active community site is beyond words.OnMyList , is a fun and active community site where you can create and share list with other members. What you actually do on this site is create a list of something, say ? Worst fashions ever ? and then share pictures and thoughts with other community members and get comments as well. Take a look at this link for instance, Onmylist SampleTo me, personally, its like a blog itself. Members start a list and post pictures and information about the particular lists. You can make comments on the list as well. All the lists are rated on the basis of popularity and so on.I think this website can benefit bloggers as well. If you have good content on your blog and relevant posts, why not make a list and put it on here. One more way to get traffic and make yourself known to another active community.

Another Ebay Tool
2007-09-16 11:21:00
It just seems like I keep finding applications for ebay although I don?t try to do this on purpose. Some programs are just so hard not to write or inform about, and this is one of them.Auction Reminder is a nifty webservice that lets you add ebay auction reminders onto your google calendar. You will have to authorize Auction Reminder to get access to your google calendar though. This program becomes really handy as a fact that it allows you to get the reminders when you want to. If you want to be reminded of auctions only after 5:00 pm you will get notifications only after then.Also, since you can add these reminders to your google calendar you can embed your calendar on your webpage or share with somebody else so they can see as well what you are interested in ( who knows, may be if you are outbidded, they will get it for you, never know ).This is a very helpful service if you are someone who uses google calendar extensively and happens to be an ebay fan as well.Other ebay related ...

Its Playtime!
2007-09-15 18:28:00
Usually I try to find websites and services that are productive but once in a while a little playtime is much needed as well. Today I am writing about a website that offers a free racing game, and no its not one of those crappy ones either.Ijji, publisher of Drift City, an online racing game seems to have it done right when it comes to an online racing game. Before I carry on I should make known that this game is free. If you are a fan of Grand Theft Auto then you will love this game, although this game is not as vast or as advanced as GTF, obviously.This free online racing game lets you drive your car freely aound the Mittron island and you can engage in little missions and other users who are playing this game from around the globe. The only hitch I found, it was long and tedious to get the game to start as you have to download a couple of things, but once I got to playing this game, I had no complains.ScreenshotsThe graphics on this game seems a little childish but still has a re...

You Tube widget for Mac

It?s the Mac Day here at Work N Play and once again I have a great tool for you Mac fans. This widget is on top on Apple?s download site so most apple fans might have already downloaded it but for those who didn?t know here it is.If you are a Mac user and You Tube fanatic then this widget will simplify your life a little.YouTube Dashboard Widget allows you to search YouTube, view most viewed, most discussed and recently added videos all in a handy widget. When you click on a video the widget opens a larger window where you can view the video, also the window can be resized which is a nice feature.There are some drawbacks to this nifty widget though. When you click on a video to watch it on a bigger window you don?t get a video control. All you can do is play and pause ( However, one of my friend suggested that if you want the standard YouTube flash control bar, you can do that using Amnesty Generator, it worked for him ). Another drawback is you can use this widget only to watch vid...

Need Coupons? Use this service
2007-09-12 15:43:00
I bet everybody has noticed while purchasing online there is a little box that says " enter promo code " or " coupon ". I never use these boxes as I never have coupons or codes to get those massive discounts ( yes, they might only be 5% but better than paying the full price , a penny saved is a penny earned ).There are a lot of sites that give out coupons but I found this one to be pretty easy and reliable. RetailMeNot, a webservice that provides coupon codes for your online purchases is a great service. You can find coupons for products based on a category ( Electronics, Home Supplies ) or simply type in the name of the site that you want discount code for. When you enter your search using tags you will also see thumbnails of all the sites that have promo code for you giving you a preview of what the site looks like.A great service for all needing to save a little money. I for sure am going to use this service and if you like to save a little money you should use it as well. I am s...
