If you’re a read-a-holic, check-out GoodReads.com

by Sylwia on November 17th, 2011

I missed website Wednesday, so I’m posting this now.

I have never been a big reader, I know, I know, my sister is a librarian…what happened to me, right? Well recently I have become a mini-bookworm, I feel like I’m 10 years old and I just re-discovered imagination! <–thank you HUNGER GAMES!

However, my biggest struggle has always been finding new books to read.

Where do you start?
INSERT: GoodReads.com

Why I love it:
The thing that is cool about good reads, is you can share the books you are reading with your friends. You can save the ones you want to read in the future, and rate the ones you have previously read. You can view updates from your friends and add their books to your ‘shelf’

What’s the best part? (for me anyways) Continue Reading…

ScandalousDirt.com

by Radiris Diaz on October 6th, 2011

Kelsey Grammer has been in the news a lot lately, and well some of it’s been good and some of its been bad, but today he is in the news because of a new website that has just launched ScandalousDirt.com.

So what does ScandalousDirt.com and Kelsey Grammer have in common? Well the website is part of his new TV show which is set to premiere on Starz on October 21st called BOSS. The show is about the inner workings of Chicago politics and we all know how corrupt Chicago politics can be and Kelsey Grammer plays Mayor Kane.

Design Your Own Eyewear

by Radiris Diaz on July 29th, 2010

Ever thought of designing your own eye wear? Ever since Nike started allowing you to customize their sneakers, I always think of how i could add my own ‘umph’ to something. I wear glasses and some may say I look geeky or like a nerd, like it’s a bad thing. I personally feel it adds a level of sophistication to how I look. I also say they make me look smart, but ultimately, I fell in love with black plastic framed glasses long before before Kenneth Cole made them sophisticated, and way before Jay Z made them cool to wear.

Due to the fact that a pair of eyeglasses can make you or break you, I’ve never purchased a pair online. I go down the traditional route – where I go to a store, start pointing like an air traffic controller, and try them on, as I tilt my head in a thousand ways and pick up my hair to see how it would look with all my styles. This is the most important part to buying a pair of new ones if you asked me – it’s all about the look, and how comfortable you feel in them.

Web Wednesday: Google Reader Play

by Shay Fan on March 31st, 2010

I’m not quite sure when they enacted it, and I’m pretty surprised that more people (or at least what I have read and seen online) haven’t talked about it: Google Reader…Play!

Okay, for those of you where are also new to Google Reader, it’s basically another RSS feed for all of your favorite sites. Instead of visiting 10 different places, it pulls the latest articles for your perusal. The other interesting thing about Google Reader is that you can share articles that you enjoy with your *select* friends on Google.

I love Google Reader for catching up on all the latest pieces on the Web…but, as it usually tends to go, I ended up overpopulating my Google Reader with TONS of different blogs. One day, I noticed this message:

Google Reader Play is a fun way to browse interesting stuff on the web. Give it a try!

When I clicked on it, this is what I saw:

Although there are still some kinks to work out, I enjoy using it (especially when I don’t have tons of time in my day and night). As you can see, Google Reader Play pulls some of the trending articles, pictures, links and more. I’m not quite sure where the algorithm comes from, but so far I’ve found some pretty fun things.

It isn’t without problems. For example, once you scroll through all of them Google Reader Play runs out of recommendations. So sad. Of course, this is remedied when you wait and peruse it again the next day. Also, Google Reader Play can also get a little redundant.

Even though it’s not perfect, it’s something I’d definitely recommend checking out. I’m curious though…what RSS feeders to you cute geeks use out there…or do you get them straight to email?

The Internet is a big place. There are so many sites to read, widgets to play with, and viral videos to watch. In the midst of all the trending topics and links being sent around, sometimes there are those little tidbits on the Internet that go unnoticed. Have something to share?
