My home is need of a home makeover and I think I would choose to makeover my bedroom if I won the Renuzit® TriScents™ contest. My bedroom is just not comfortable and the walls are rough sawn wood boards, the ceiling is wood and the windows are wood. I feel like I am sleeping in the woods every day. I would love to have sheet rock put up on the walls and he ceiling as well as new carpet or hardwood floors and new vinyl windows. I would love a nice large dark wood bed with a nice new comfy mattress and lots of pillows and down comforters. My husband and I only have one dresser and its not new, so a nice new bedroom set would be GREAT. I would love to have my bedroom smell like morning meadow or seaside breezes from Renuzit® TriScents™.
If only it could be so easy to Transform Your Home any time you wanted, we could all have beautiful homes.
You probably have not noticed that all the news that you read online and on TV focuses on all the bad news not the good news. How often do you hear about the good things that happen in the world instead of all the bad things. There are many websites that ONLY report the good things that happen to people and not all the bad things. You should check them out and get into a good mood instead of watching your local news and getting depressed. Some of these great news websites are: Good News Network, Happy News and Our Town Today.
I found this link to this article on Fark.com and it reminded me of a church where I live that does this same thing. The church in our area has been doing a haunted house like this for many many years. I think people go, but I am not sure as I don’t go and I don’t go to church either. We almost went one time not knowing what it was, we just thought it was a regular haunted house, then we got to the door and there were cards talking about abortion and drugs and such, and my mom asked for her money back and we left. I think that this idea is pretty crazy, but leave it up to the churches to do crazy stuff. They certainly know how.
Posted a mere 16 hours ago on GooTube is this video of devnull128 hacking his iPhone v 1.1.1. and then playing some hot NES action, among other things to prove it’s really hacked.
I was browsing Mahalo on this sunny afternoon in an attempt to find information on credit cards (curiously I found nothing) and found what looks to be the first reported SPAM in Mahalo.
On the Jesus in Food page, constructed by Mahalo veteran Jonathan I found the following link:
GoldenPalace.com: Put your face on a grilled cheese WARNING: Pop-Ups
The subsequent website you are taken to when clicking the Golden Palace link has no content relating to Jesus in Food nor does it spawn pop ups in FF or IE6 (as Mahalo warned me it would).
What’s the deal? I thought the Mahalo approach was SPAM proof? Did Golden Palace put up content and then pull the ol’ bait and switch with the editors at Mahalo?
I registered with the site and reported it in the Message Board.
Trip Advisor is reportedly paying $3,000,000 for a free application, that runs on another free application (at the pleasure of the latter app). Are they crazy or does this make business sense?
Hmmm, they now own the #1 and #2 apps in this category on Facebook and are displaying a new trend in tech spending.
In what is by far the largest Facebook application acquisition to date, travel company TripAdvisor has reportedly acquired Where I’ve Been from Craig Ulliott for $3 million.
Update: We are still awaiting comment from TripAdvisor. No official confirmation yet.
The acquisition marks the first major successful exit of a Facebook application since the Platform launched just under three months ago.
With 2.3 million users, Where I’ve Been established itself as by far the biggest travel application on Facebook, leading #2 Cities I’ve Visited (also TripAdvisor owned) by over 1 million users.
No offense Allen but you’re just plain wrong here. Yes Mahalo doesn’t pick up “new” news as quickly as automated bots, again just like Alexa as long as you understand how the data is collected this shouldn’t be a surprise.
The important question here is; Will the Skype outage of Thursday August 16th 2007 really go down as a “newsworthy” topic? One that would warrant a complete page on Mahalo?
The answer is No, of course not, the story barely belongs in Google’s index as I’m sure it’s already been resolved and 99.99998% of the population didn’t even notice.
As far as Mahalo using social news site to promote original articles I don’t really take issue with that, Jason will just need to be careful not to focus too much on that sort of social baiting. As you can see from Digg, most social communities tend to boil down the the least common denominator as the audience exands.
As nearly everyone online knows by now, Skype is out of commission. It’s down for the count. I was one of the first people to post about the Skype outage this morning, and since then, hundreds of others have as well. It’s a hot topic on Google Hot Trends (#45), and I am seeing 500 people an hour from my first page Google result.
But where is the Mahalo page? The Mahalo Skype page has 3 headlines of which 2 are semi-outage related. Otherwise, searching for “Skype down” or “Skype outage” provides no result. Yet Google has indexed my page from 6AM and already shows it as one of the top pages.
I tend to think Steve isn’t going out on a limb much here in predicting that Facebook will overtake both MySpace and Bebo to take the UK Social Networking crown.
Bebo (design wise) looks very much like YouTube, and not knowing the history here I can’t comment as to why.
Comscore data for July reveals that Bebo is now the number one visited social networking site in the UK, overtaking MySpace. Sitting in third place is Facebook. According to the statistics, Bebo registered a total of 10.7m unique users ahead of MySpace which has 10.1m and Facebook with 7.6m.
Bebo is also ranked as the second most engaging website in the UK with 8.7b page views - only just behind Google which received 8.8b.
However, I’m going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. Based on anecdotal evidence amongst my friends and colleagues here in London, give it six months or less, and Facebook’s UK figures could look very different. I suspect they’ll be a lot closer to the other two — within the thousands not millions — and could eventually overtake them both.

Verizon and Motorola have very quiet and very ignored for the last few months as the storm from the new iPhone is in full swing. Today comes the announcement of the next generation RAZR 2. Featuring an external display (amazing!) and touch sensitive keys and bluetooth support (didn’t it already have that? or did they just de hobble it?)
I’m underwhelmed. But maybe Verizon and the RAZR can grab people looking for a high quality “phone” that don’t need to surf the ‘web’ and watch videos of dogs skateboarding.
Next Generation RAZR Features External Display and Touch-Sensitive Keys and Bluetooth Support
BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless company with the most reliable wireless voice and data network, and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), today announced the sleek multimedia MOTORAZR2 V9m will be available to Verizon Wireless customers in September. Offering a combination of sophisticated style and Verizon Wireless’ first-class multimedia features, the MOTORAZR2 V9m is perfect for customers seeking a sleek, music-centric multimedia mobile phone.
While I tend to disagree with most assessments that installing blogs, forums and other PHP scripts is a hard task, JS-Kit takes even the small hurdle away with their widgets.
JS-Kit offers simple comments, ratings and other widgets
JS-Kit, which lets people with basic HTML skills add interactive features to their websites, has raised $1.2 million from The Entrepreneurs Fund III.
It is the latest investment in a widget company, and comes at a time when the major widget makers, RockYou and Slide, are trying to figure out how to monetize their vast audiences.
JS-Kit’s main selling point is its simplicity. By cutting and pasting a few lines of HTML, anyone can add a comment board, polls, or a ratings system to a website. This is notable because the technical skills and cost required to add something like a ratings system can be bothersome and expensive for the small publishers that constitute the bulk of JS-Kit’s network of 5,000 sites.
