Okay, this has to be one of my new favorite web sites. Date: Unknown is a reality web series that features the first dates of people who meet online through social networks. That is sheer genius. I have always wondered what people really get from MySpace and Facebook, etc., other than wasting hours and hours of time at work and home. I mean, it didn"t really seem like people networked so much as just chatted with their existing friends and became voyeurs into other people"s lives. Well, okay, you could find old friends on these sites, which is fun. But the beauty of this site is that it p... read more

It is difficult to imagine that new startup, TrustedOpinion was actually inspired by a trip to a birthing class. Maybe something about bringing a new baby into the world really makes you want to start a new business. TrustedOpinion is a web-based company which allows you to view recommendations from friends about social events, resturaunts, music events, nightclubs, bars, and more. It is a far cry from the prenatal unit, but in both situations, were faced with the reality that we don’t know everything, and trusted opinions from friends and family are always helpful. People you decide to frie... read more

You know those songs you hear on someone"s MySpace or Facebook page? Many times they come from Sonific, a service that allows you to put up the song of your choice on almost any web page, such as MySpace. They basically provide free music widgets/media players that you drop into your social profile page or your blog or home page. It"s a great tool. The limitation I immediately found was the lack of mainstream songs and artists in their library. Their library definitely seems to be made up mostly of up-and-coming artists and records. Apparently this is because of the difficulty of getting ... read more
