The web 2.0 is still growing strong, new websites seem to pop up every day with the famous ‘web 2.0′ looks (lots of whitespace, tons of shadows, rounded corners on everything), but still, according to Tagoon, a lot of these websites are actually underrated. Because of this the author, tag00n has written an article listing [...]

Most people – including me – tend to be a bit slow in adapting new techniques or ways to do ‘usual’ things. One of these things I’m a tad slow with as well is the usage of alternative ways to blog. You read that right, there are more options than simply logging on to your [...]

Most of the people reading this are most likely older than I am, but nonetheless I came across a not too bad website on PPP. This website is a free online SAT test prep school, allowing all people who are about to finish highschool (works quite a bit different here in Europe) to train in [...]

eBay and other auction sites are no new deal at all; there are perhaps a hundred of them, one more popular than another and all following exactly the same protocols. Of course, I’m not the only one who thinks about it that way, the company ‘bid4prizes‘ has come up with a whole new idea of [...]

Backgammon, perhaps one of the oldest games played on the web – already started ‘real time’ in 1992 – might be a bit of a boring game these days. I must say I’ve played it a couple of times using Microsofts fantastic MSN Games thing, and I didn’t quite like it; too much randomness involved.

Hitflip, formerly known as ‘Swopex’, is promoting their website a lot right now, so this is a little review of their brand new music exchange website. On the first sight I didn’t really consider this website ‘interesting’; why bother to exchange when you can buy all these goods on eBay or in-store for low prices [...]

Google Spreadsheets, Google’s interpretation of an online office platform, has been on the web for quite a while now, but it’s usually referred to as ‘Google Docs’, for the sake of the URL. Google started with this when they acquired a company that was running this service, and ever since they’ve been Google’fying it and [...]

IDrive is back and ideological again! This company, specialized in online backup systems and services, has launched the latest version of both their advertisement campaign as well as their software. With their latest IDrive-E, you can backup your hard drive, documents or any specific file or folder in no-time.
One other very interesting point of this [...]

I came across a pretty funny, yet useful Google mash up today, for those who don’t know what a mash up is; it’s a combination of various websites, this time being Google Maps, combined with the data gathered by the website ‘Who is Sick‘, giving you a new way of looking at the info as [...]
