Facesity Online Visual Directory

Leave a reply

When I was told of this new website called Facesity this morning, all that comes to mind is that this is an online visual directory. While our conventional telephone directory consists of names and telephone numbers, Facesity has our photos linking to our web address. I sort of remember a similar avatar wall but this one is based on the city where we live or work.

Using Facesity is very simple. Go to http://www.facesity.com and you can see a large map of the USA. So right now, Facesity is only limited to cities in the United States.

Click on a specific city on the map and a tag cloud will appear on the sidebar. Just select the city that you are interested in and a page with photos of members will appear. Clicking on a photo will lead you to website of the person.

If you would like to appear on Facesity, just click on Add Face and full instructions are there. What you do is just fill out a short form and pay US$1 via PayPal to Facesity and submit your photo via email. The payment of US$1 is for your photo to be displayed for the lifetime of the website. This process of submission could be made more seamless if we have the ability to upload our photo along with the form, instead of emailing it separately.

I think that if you are interested in placing your photo on Facesity, do it early and place the largest, most interesting photo of yourself to get better prominence on the page of you selected city. Price of US$1 is the same for all four photo sizes, anyway.

Are you a fan of The Charlatans? I am not but that did not stop me from downloading their full album with the title, “You Cross My Path”. XFM music station from the United Kingdom AND The Charlatans have so kindly allowed us music lovers to download the album for free. If you love The Charlatans then this is awesome news but if you do not like their kind of music, or have not been exposed to the music of The Charlatans yet, then this is the chance to try them.

To download the album in a single .zip file or to download individual tracks, just click on the link that I have provided at the top of this post. Downloading is simple. I use Flash Get, a download manager program. However, what I mean about simple is that you do not need to disclose any information about yourself or your contact details.

You can, however, leave your comments or say a word of thanks at the bottom of the post on the XFM website. Happy listening and enjoy!

Extra Poker Bonus From Internet-Poker.co.uk

Leave a reply

While I have visited many poker sites and poker review sites on the internet, yesterday I got to know of another poker review site with a difference. I am not sure if you have heard of Internet-Poker.co.uk before but this is a professional poker review site, reviewing UK, Canada and US poker sites.

You may wonder how different this review site is from other poker review sites. While Internet-Poker.co.uk also gives us the low-down on the various online poker sites including their bonuses, pay rates, real poker room ambiance, graphics, friendly customer service and players and more importantly, which are the US online casinos, what you will find here on http://www.internet-poker.co.uk is ADDITIONAL bonus that is exclusive to users of Internet-Poker.co.uk.

For example, if you access these poker rooms and enter the bonus codes that you received from Interent-Poker.co.uk, you will receive more bonus than other players who do not have the bonus code. This is all the more reason why you should check out Internet-Poker.co.uk or lose out, right?

Besides poker reviews, games and news, there is a comprehensive guide on poker deposit options to these casinos, particularly useful if you are a poker player currently residing in the United States.

I think that if you are serious in your online poker games, you should read through the informative articles on Internet-Poker.co.uk. Don’t think that you already know all the online poker sites so it’s a waste of time because this site will keep you updated with new bonus structures and other poker news that as an online poker player, you MUST know about!

Many people say that Microsoft has grown so huge that it is a corporation that has lost touch with the people, users of their products. Well, I understand that it is a commercial entity and as long as they provide me with software and programmes that make me work more efficiently and effectively, I am fine with that.

A week ago, I chance upon this freebie offer by Microsoft for students only. While I understand that Microsoft is trying to expand the offer to more countries, right now, this offer is only valid for students in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Germany, France, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium.

Students who are eligible and are interested in downloading Microsoft’s Professional Developer & Designer tools would have to register for a Windows Live account and verify her/her student status.

The aim of this programme by Microsoft called Dream Spark is to allow students to develop their creativity in technology without incurring cost.

Free Online Contests At Break The Vault

Leave a reply

I know that many of my readers are looking to play online contests that they could win prizes as easily as possible. The good news is that there is a fairy new website called Break The Vault that allows members to participate in their free contests and win cash prizes.

From what I can see, contests from Break The Vault requires members to provide correct answers as fast as possible and the first person to provide the correct answer will win. It’s as simple as that.

In my opinion, this site may be new but the earlier you join the better because it the less members there are, the greater your chances of being the first person with the correct answer. Isn’t that just simple logic?

Play Free Arcade Games At Arcade Forum

My friend asked me, how I could face the computer the whole day. Well, I need to work, right? And my work revolves around the computer and internet.

However, what people do not know is that I sneak in a game or two when no one’s looking. Haha! Working for myself gives me the freedom to do what I want and when I want. And if I want to play a game while waiting for my work to upload, download or just waiting for web pages to load, then it’s my prerogative.

Arcade Forum is a website that allows us to play games online without having to download any software or program onto our computer. I like quickies like that that I could just access from my Bookmarks. You don’t even have to register if you so not want to!

Monetize Your Blog With Buxr

Leave a reply

If you own a blog, most probably you have been trying various ways to earn a little pocket money. I know I have and some of them worked out for me, most of them did not, unfortunately.

I believe as a webmaster, you know that it is the current trend to place widgets on your blogs or websites but have you heard of the Buxr shopping deals widget? If you have not, then you really should check them out at their website, http://www.buxr.com.

The two guys behind Buxr.com are experts when it comes to bargain hunting. What they do with all these leads is to channel them to the Buxr widget that you have placed on your site so that your visitors can check out these deals and make a bargain purchase.

What will you get for placing this widget on your site?

Just by signing up with Buxr, you will be credited with US$10. When your visitors make a purchase through your widget, you will get a share of the commission. The quantum, though, varies according to the different merchants. You can cash out your monies once your have collected a minimum of US$20.

The Buxr widget can be placed on most types of blogs, particularly shopping blogs. Because all merchants featured on Buxr are American retailers, the downside is that this program will only bring in the money for you if you have a high volume of targeted traffic from the United States. Therefore, if your website or blog is hosted in America, or if the majority of your visitors are from the United States, then you should try Buxr out.
