LOL - Laugh Out Loud

Hi! It seems you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave comments on posts!

Here’s a secret, sometimes a way to find sites is to just type it in on the search box and see what it comes up with. I tried it and here is the result. Sitting on my computer trying to find a new site or service I thought about a chat “slang”- LOL and there it was, a site - http://www.lol.com/

This site does exactly as the name suggests, Makes you LOL ( Laugh Out Loud ), well most of the time. It contains jokes of all kinds, funny as well as the one’s that you might find scratching your head to understand what it really means.

I found the site to be pretty fun as it had something to keep me clicking the ” Tell me another ” button. Also if you wanna check out the development of this site you can check out their blog. The site’s layout might be a bit of a turn off since its simple but like the saying goes ” Don’t judge a book by its cover ” this site can provide you with hours of laughter when you are feeling down, so go ahead and LOL!

lmartin – Linda’s gardening website is just awesome. I tried gardening a couple months ago on my yard and I had a good time for a while but then again lost my interest. Seems like Linda’s website will bring that energy back to get out there and get dirty again. The tagline says “ Everything you ever wanted to know about gardening ….. But never dared to ask “ well, you know where to shoot your questions now.

By the way, hey all the mom bloggers you guys might like this one ( we know you guys like gossips ) so go ahead and give Gerri a visit, its a good time there.

Why go to Church? Confess at i4Giveu

This post was supposed to be for tomorrow but I couldn’t wait, so here it is!

Wow! Yes, wow is the word to define this site. I had no clue in the known world, there would be a site like this, it is amazing. Alright I am going to stop hitting darts in dark and get right to the point.

I4giveu is a website that allows you to post your sins and be rated from other members. You can rate other people’s sin based on whether or not it is forgivable. It is pretty neat, I don’t know how many people would take the word of other members instead of a priest, but hey it’s a fun time in there.

The good thing about the site is to rate a sin, you do not have to be a member. You can signup and post your sins and see how forgivable it is or just go ahead and put a halo or horns on sins done by other members. I tried it and I was kind of hooked. Some of the sins people have posted in there are hilarious. Also the tag cloud makes it really easy to pick a particular subject and make a comment on it.

Like I said, I am not sure how many people would consider my forgiving over a priests but it sure as heck is fun. You have got to try it out. Lemme know what you think through your comments.

Cre8buzz - Social Networking Site

Social Networking Sites - they seem to be everywhere! Myspace and Facebook laid out the path for other networking sites but it has been a while since we have had any good ones come out on the internet. I was glad when I came across cre8buzz as this site has a very clean and fresh look to it compared to Myspace’s cluttered and advertisement jammed interface.

Cre8buzz.com, still in private Beta is said to be out in public in about couple weeks, probably 4-5 weeks at the most. I was lucky enough to get an invitation to join the private beta testing to give feedbacks on any bugs and so on. I joined yesterday and I used the site for about 3 hours and I didnt have any problems, so it is surely going in the right path.

Another things that really won me over was the design of this site. The site is clean and very soothing to look at with nice design and easy navigation. Your profile has sections divided into categories like podcasting, video galleries, pictures, recent visitors, comment box and you can change the layout as well just as you do it in myspace, but again in a much better way than Myspace offers it.

My profile managment section

My default layout profile pages

One of the “pimped”out profile pages
You can see from the screenshots above the layout is very clean and fresh. Once this site goes in public and if you are looking to network, this site should be a must add on your list.

For the YouTube Fans!

I am pretty sure this software will please all the YouTube Fans. YouTube Downloader (Free) is a program that simply downloads the you tube and google video to your computer in either one of the formats you choose ( .AVI, .MPEG or .FLV ). All you have to do is choose the location you want the video on your computer, choose the format and simply paste the URL of the video and click start ( view the screenshot below ).

When I first visited the site it didn’t seem like the site was very legitimate as the site is just loaded with adsense. I had to pretty much hunt for the information about this software within the site. But once I got to the download link and downloaded the software it worked great.

Although the site seemed to be more adsense oriented than product YouTube Downloader worked just fine. I am not a big youtube fan but I downloaded almost 20 videos to see if the program really was reliable. All 20 videos were successfully downloaded.

Great application for all the youtube fans and I know there are quite a few of them.

Here is the link to download the YouTube Downloader Download

Video chat with upto 6 people – Simultaneously!

This service is outstanding and it is simply groundbreaking, in the sense that it is free and it is available for home users and not just for professionals. Work N Play is proud to bring you the information on a multi–user video chat application which supports upto 6 people simultaneously.

Oovoo, still in Beta is an application that will let you chat with your mom,dad,brother,sister and yes the annoying uncle and aunt as well, all at the same time via different computers. Since this service is free it makes it even more tempting to try it out and as you can guess I did. When I used this application to chat with all my annoying co-workers, I didn’t have any problems with the application whatsoever ( although I did end up closing after chatting for 5 minutes, that’s how long I can handle my co-workers for ).

You can use this application to send video messages and file to other oovoo members and video messages to people who don’t have this application as well. In my opinion this software worked great and it is an option for us, home users, to be able to chat with multiple people at the same time. A great way for people who work from home and have the need for conferencing without paying a dime ( Yes, it supports only upto six people at a time but still its better than nothing ).

The Beta version currently is out for Windows only but Mac version is said to be out anyday, so Mac users bundle up some patience and wait!
