TinyURL.com is a great service. It allows you to truncate a long URL into one short URL that you can easily distribute to friends and associates through social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Ping.FM and more.
The only limitation I saw with TinyURL was that, it allows for one URL per forward. I saw a friend of mine trying to advertise 2 different URLs at once through Facebook, and it was pretty messy and long. So I thought, “Why not forward multiple URLs at once with something better?”
And then I came …

7DayBuzz is probably one of the coolest new blogs out there that I found. It’s new, it’s fresh, and the contents are very diverse and interesting – the diversity reminds me of JohnChow.com. The owners’ names are Tom and Kim Sawyer (no, there’s no Huckleberry Finn on the editors board), and they are a nice couple who live in the Southern Neighbour, USA. In case you did not realize, I am Canadian.
7DayBuzz has a rule that resounds in its name – they will update every day, if not more!!! That’s …

It was one fateful evening on a lonely Saturday, when the stars were slightly dimmed by the overhanging clouds, that John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker exchanged curious yet delightful glances at each other in a quiet bar by a highway running through the interior. The greenery of the fields and forest were dimmed to a midnight turquoise with a dark splash of night-sky over it, and the river running by could only be heard, if not for the occasional glitters that came from its running waters reflecting the gentle moonlight …

So over the last several months, John Chow and I have been working together to get his new TTZ Media website set up, and also to get the Ad Banner system set up.
My role in this project was the coding of the whole thing. I started coding the XML API reception system that would parse the XML feed from Shopping.com’s API. After a few banners were created, we moved onto the Adcode generation panel, which by the way is better than Google’s Adsense Code Generator. With extensive use of AJAX, …

As much as I am a huge fan of facebook in so many different ways including the fact that they provide a cleaner layout than MySpace, require less clicks and page-refreshes than myspace using AJAX, and the fact that they provide an extensible API, some of the recent movies made me frown a little bit.
There are too many god damned applications coming up and there’s way too much stuff on some people’s profiles than there should be. On some of my friends’ profiles, I need to scroll down for quite …

I will be travelling this summer quite a bit (more detailes to be disclosed later!) and for starters I had to book a rental car as well as a hotel room in Seattle for 1 night for next week. While I was looking at options through my BCAA membership website (they give me some discounts), my friend told me about www.priceline.com. And no, this is NOT a pay-per-post or a review-me-post. This is simply a review out of my own personal experience, referred to by a friend.
The concept is this …

I owe a lot of reviews from my post on how to kill a dog. The responses were overwhelming, and everybody came up with some great ideas that I was very impressed with.
Unfortunately I am bound by laws and cannot commit such crimes, and I ended up having a nasty chat with my roommate and she boo-hooed at the end, and now I see marked improvements in the behaviour of the dog.
Nonetheless, reviews are owed to these people. Instead of picking 1 winner (it was hard to tell) I’ll just …
