eGuiders.com - Video Highlights On The Web

There are so many videos on the WWW right now that for some it poses a difficulty. They find so much data overwhelming. I must admit that I feel that way to a considerable extent. What’s more, even though I adore music I am not that fond of music videos. There are some exceptions, of course. I have seen videos like “Stand By Me” by Oasis that add a lot to the song, but there are not many like it. Then there are some videos that raise a smile like “When You Say Nothing At All” by Ronan Keating from the Notting Hill soundtrack which are also worth watching. I wish there were a way to h...  read more

WhatsTheWait.mobi - Find Restaurant Waiting Times

Just the other night I went to a (popular) restaurant with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was a Friday night and it was packed. We ordered more or less immediately, and 45 minutes elapsed. Those who had arrived after we had occupied our places started being served before we did, and my friend simply stood up, walked to the waiter and told him, “OK, leave it at that, we are going”. We wasted 45 minutes there, and although we had a chance to talk and catch up on what had gone on during the time we hadn’t seen each other, that is beside the point. Had we known about that, we wo...  read more

A music nut like me couldn’t get his hands on a better service. As the title of the review says, it lets anybody come up with his own radio charts by remixing radio stations and creating playlists showcasing his tastes.
