Input your favorite music, movies, books and authors!
Jan 16th
Meet the Tastekid, a free recommendation engine that is CONSTANTLY learning what people have recently liked in the world of music, movies, books, authors and tv shows! Search results are usually fairly meaty, depending on your input of course. As you click the search results, it gets added to your search. You can also add Tastekid to twitter, as an iGoogle gadget, and as search engine for your browser or your blog. Give it a whirl now! The Tastekid is apparently female with an emo hairstyle, a little too pale for me, but cute for sure, ha.
All-in-one IM/Email/Social Networking!
Oct 2nd
What if I told you that there was a program out there that lets you have multiple IM accounts/email accounts/social network accounts/Twitter on ONE application? Well, now you can with Digsby! Digsby lets you check all of your friends Facebook/Myspace updates, enables you to check your email accounts and EASILY delete the messages from your taskbar with an icon (the least hassle i’ve had in a long time), IM your friends from AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Gmail, Google Talk, Jabber, and ICQ! You will be notified of all your friends activity as well. As far as I know, notifications happen pretty quickly, no idea if you can set the length of time for the notification, but if anyone happens to find out, let me know. Anyway, there is a video below, check it out!

WikiHow
Dec 2nd
What is Wikihow? Why am I recommending this? Well, my loyal followers, I’m glad you asked. It is a collaborative writing project that is the world’s largest, highest quality how-to manual, as stated by the front page on their website. It’s definitely a helpful tool that you can use throughout your life. There is such a wide variety of topics and subjects, that it’s impossible to cover them all on one post. So, to check them out, click on their logo (I hope the fine folks over at wikiHow don’t mind that I posted their logo) below:
You can also see more about how they go about creating their articles as well. Very user friendly website. Enjoy it!
