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. Ideas to improve a product, a company, your city, or just about anything in the world. Should Do This is the best suggestion box for getting your ideas heard. Suggest improvements for the world around you, see what others are suggesting and join the dialog of thinkers and tinkerers. Let people know what you think would make just about anything, better.

If you have any suggestion why not give it a try here. When you are frustrated, sometimes its just better to let it out and what better way to do that than using Should do this.

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 Sample

To 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.

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.

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.

Screenshots

The graphics on this game seems a little childish but still has a reality feel to it. Controlling your fast car is very easy and for learning how to play this game, there is nothing to learn, just know about the six keys you control your car with and you are ready for some action. For online gamers and racecar fans this is an ultimate fun website.

So go ahead and get your gears ready and drive around Drift City.

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 videos, if you want to rate or add the video to your account you will have to visit the website and do it yourself.

Although it is lacking some features that should have been included, if you are someone who just enjoys watching new and popular videos on YouTube, this widget will prove to be pretty useful.
