It's good, but once you start using it with different mailboxes, you discover that you can't set time interval for receiveing messages. Google will check your emails from other mailboxes once an hour on average, it's quite annoying. Other than that, it's really good :)

Couldn't really find any recipes I liked. Better off going to the food network.

I think the app needs to open up a little. Make it more of a way for everyone to submit and rate each others recipes. I think that would work a lot better.

February 10, 2009 â€"

OpenSourceRails.com makes it fast and easy to download an open source app or to upload your project to make it available for others to use.
As of Oct. ‘09 there were about 88 apps available on the site. It’s easy to strike up a conversation with project authors and demo links are an option.

The upload image functionality does not work. Very annoying.

I had a really neat poll I wanted to enter but it was about comparing images that I couldn't load.

Affluence.org is a scam.

It's operated by a well known internet pornographer & spammer named Scott Mitchell who has been involved in a number of lawsuits involving spam and online scams.

Connect the dots your self:

Scott Mitchell, Eroticy, Kowabunga, Rip Off Report, Webcapades, SwappersNet, Lawsuit, Spam.

This stuff is easy to confirm.

We've tried Joyent as part of our research for web-based CRM, which included at least 20 reviews and test-drives. It's very good overall but our main requirement was email integration with CRM, and they didn't get it quite right.

Bookmarking
For me switching to an online bookmarking tool (though stumbleupon is more than this) was an immense relief. Bookmarking was selecting to bookmark and then selecting a category which fit (often poorly).
Now all I have to do is click the thumbs-up. Almost any time I want to rate a site another user has been there before and tagged it. Therefore it goes into my favorites in the correct location. If I do happen to visit a site first then I get to know that I'm helping other people not to have spend energy in the future.
Unfortunately stumbleupon does keep your favorites. I haven't seen a way to export them.
I tried using other services such as del.icio.us but found them more cumbersome.

Stumbling
Stumbleupon is mainly built for stumbling- visiting sites that other people have approved of. I haven't done as much of this but when I have I've found that the sites it suggests are entertaining.

I use Mapquest on a daily basis as I while away the boring hours at my grinding soul-sucking job. I imagine living in other places and working at other jobs. Mapquest is an invaluable tool that I use to fill in the fantasy parts of my daydream of what my commute would be like, or how long it would take to visit my grandparents from my new imaginary residence. It also gives good party directions.

Wufoo rules, plain and simple. Takes just a few minutes to create a form and configure it's attributes. The only drawback is that it makes me agonize over hundreds of dollars we've paid to our graphic designer to hand-code the forms most of which to this day have errors (well, not anymore they ain't because we dumped them).

I've been using Trumba since it was in beta. Back then, and until recently, it was a good choice for individual users.

However, in the past several months, it appears that Trumba has rebranded itself and is focusing exclusively on the enterprise market. The cheapest available plan listed on their website costs $100 a month!

As a user who paid less than that for a whole year, I'm enjoying it for now (I especially like the Outlook synchronization). But I guess I'll be looking for a new calendar solution once my subscription expires...

Trulia is a very promising website. If you enjoy window shopping for real estate as much as I do you'll appreciate Trulia's variety and their various map searches. It has some bugs to work out, but unlike realtor.com Trulia lists private sales as well as realtor represented property. You definitely want to bookmark this one.

Positives: The support team is quick to respond to questions. There is a good instructional video on how editing works on the site. The Uploader allows multiple uploads. Email notification of comments say what the comment is- this is unlike youtube and some other sites which merely tell you that someone has left a comment and force you to login to the site.
The site has a very strong community and the developers are very involved. It seems like the developers watch many videos and engage with the community.


Minuses: Experimenting with different start points is difficult. This is something required for editing. There are slight delays when you try to move to a part of clip. The editor is not yet competitive with imovie or other desktop editors. This may be a high bar to set but until it’s met I don’t see a reason to switch. The site doesn’t let you email people directly. You can only send them a public comment.
I mentioned that you can put more than one clip at a time in the uploader. If you do this it wants to package them into one movie. If that is your workflow then it is good but it's not mine. I Jumpcut’s is very editing oriented. So if you are just looking to upload movies there a few extra steps.
The site shows a posting time for clips but this only reflects when it was last edited (even if only the description was changed). This can make understanding how well your videos are doing difficult.

Overall this is my favorite video site, primarily for the strong community and interested, accessible developers.

Collective X

I have been using CollectiveX for around 9-months to organize a local discussion/networking group. It is an elegant and simple-to-use social networking platform that is well featured, even at the free end. Recent updates to the platform (May/June 2007) have really enhanced the functionality of the site and the CollectiveX crew have been very responsive to suggestions from users, setting up a specific CollectiveX group for users to provide feedback on the program.

Basic Functions (free) include: member profiles (professional profiles), calendar (all members can add events to the calendar),
discussion forums, file cabinet (free 25mb storage), email invites and notifications.

Advanced features include:site template modifications, extra storage, advanced permission controls.

My experience so far has been that the basic functions are more than enough to provide a communication platform for your group. The openness of the feedback with the development team (which has been a more recent change) gives me confidence that future versions of the platform will be based on users comments/suggestions. A great platform for those with minimal online social networking experience (as I was when I first set it up).

Google reader is very easy to use. Adding a feed is simple- enter a search term or an approximate URL and it will present a list of choices. If you want to have an item stored click the star. Everything about it seems to work as it should.
It doesn't have the intelligence of some of the desktop apps which pay attention to what you read and make decisions based on that. But it does everything that I need. - Except allow you to search through the archived items. I'm sure that's coming.
