Social Network Battles

I have a lot of social network accounts. They're so many, I've lost track of them. There are three main accounts I have been updating. Facebook, Friendster and MySpace. I have a Twitter and a Hi5 account and some others I really don't remember actually.

Facebook has been gaining popularity and is still gaining more. Friendster users have decided to log-in their Facebook accounts for their virtual farms and restaurants. And yes, even their mafias. So what did Friendster do? It seems that the bulletins aren't that flooded anymore. So the light blue color turned to jazzy green. The smiley which was once in a diagonal style turned into an ear-to-ear smile with two eyes that looked like double quotation marks. MySpace added games and applications. And one common story in the three networks? APPLICATIONS.

Yes, you get to have Mafia Wars (Zynga) from all of them. Friendster has incorporated a lot of flash games on their apps. Facebook almost relied on player invitations and panel ads for the applications (it's better to have games that your friends got). MySpace...let's just say, I like them better to be music and video entertainment-focused.

I-Am-Bored

Another very interesting and hilarious website. When you're bored, visit www.i-am-bored.com

The name of the website speaks for itself. It is a perfect website for people who are bored.

It says:

"Loads of viral videos, games, memes, lists and social networking for when you're bored. Updated every day, so visit often."

What's up with the word "viral"? Honestly, I have no idea. But it certainly is a website loaded with a lot of fun. By the word "fun", I meant "hilarious"

Toxel.com

Alright, now I'm reviewing websites. I just typed "coffee mugs" in Google and found one amazing website in one of the results.

Toxel.com. It was so cool, I can't resist to take a look at it. And sure it was an amazing blog/website. It features very cool and creative products, ideas and things designed and created by real people around the world. Check this picture out: (I typed "coffee mug")


The website made me smile. Well, who wouldn't? It so funny how people can come up with ideas like this, yet, only few of them would try and really put those ideas into reality. Creativity is something that should be flaunted, right? Guys who made these ideas made a good job into showing the world their works.

Technically, Toxel.com looked like a photo magazine site for me. I missed the "Read the Full Post" link below each picture. Hehehe. Sorry for that. Then I browsed over the site and voila! it is more than a photo magazine blog. It was a "design, inspiration, technology" blog. Well, it certainly is! I had some laughs about it because the designs are funny and cute. It's like watching a gallery of famous paintings.
