Find gas prices in your neighborhood on MSN

May 19th, 2008

MSN has a handy feature for finding out gas prices. Simply enter your zip code and a list of pump prices are listed. This is similar to Gas Buddy, if you’ve ever seen that site. From what I read in the newspaper over the weekend, Gas Buddy relies on users to report the gas prices as they change. MSN tracks prices based on what people are spending at each gas station. So, even though Gas Buddy might be slick, MSN’s just might be more accurate. Either way, they’re both handy little applications. Enjoy!

Make any song on your computer your ringtone - FREE!

March 13th, 2008

Myxer seems almost too good to be true.   Sign up, upload a song from your computer and it sends right to your phone.   Add the song to your ringtones, and you’re all set!    Standard text message fees apply, but otherwise, the service claims to be free..  and, works with the stubborn Verizon network.   My phone now has a bunch of cool tunes, one for each of my friends.  :)

Watch television shows online - Hulu.com launches today!

March 12th, 2008

Several “watch t.v. online” sites have been popping up around the internet, but most are not legitimate. Hulu has been in private beta for a while now, I was one of the lucky ones to get to test it out, and let me tell you it’s slick. I watched several episodes of my old favorite T.V. show “The A-Team” during my beta testing. The presentation is great, and the video load time is good, but probably depends on your internet speed. To give you an idea of the stations that have signed on with Hulu - here’s the massive list:

FOX, NBC Universal, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros. Television Group, as well as Access Hollywood, AST Dew Tour, BNET, Bravo, Broadway Video, CenterStaging, Chic.tv, Chiller, CHOW, CNET, Comedy Time, E! Entertainment Television, ExerciseTV, FEARnet, Ford Models, Fox Atomic, Fox Movie Channel, Fox Reality, Fox Searchlight, Fox Sports, Fox TV Studios, Fuel TV, FX Networks, G4TV, Gamespot, Gamespy, Hidden Universe, IGN, Image Entertainment, Lionsgate, LX.TV, MEN7, Mojo, Movieola, My Network TV, National Geographic Channel, National Geographic Digital Shorts, NBA, NBC Sports, NBCU TV, NHL, Oxygen, Paley Media, Red Bull, Reveille, Salient Media, SciFi Channel, Shout! Factory, Sleuth Channel, SpaceRip, Speed, Sundance Channel, Taste TV, The Fight Network, The Golf Channel, The Onion, The Style Network, Thought Equity, TV Guide, TVG, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Twentieth Television, Universal Pictures, USA Network, Versus, Vuguru, WatchMojo, Wine Library TV and World Wrestling Entertainment®.

This is definitely a break through in television online. Makes me wonder if everyone will be watching t.v. online in the future, and home televisions will be giant computer monitors… hmmm!

Join the revolution - No More “LOL” !!

March 10th, 2008

This site (nomorelol.com), in conjunction with its sponsors, has been established to abolish the ever-present lie that is “LOL.” Over the past decade it has become increasingly obvious that countless web users are misrepresenting themselves by typing LOL (or “lolling” as it has come to be called) when they are NOT actually laughing out loud. This ruse has been at the expense of internet loyalists who add up the lols they receive in chat rooms and on message boards every day…. (click here to read more)
