But, I’m still a little sunburned and a little exhausted from chasing the kids around the park all day, so I’m going to keep this one short and sweet with a review and browser search plugin for a t-shirt search engine…. yes, you heard me right a t-shirt search Engine!
Let me introduce you to PleaseDress.me… a small t-shirt search engine and side project from Gary Vaynerchuck of Wine Library TV. PleaseDress.me (cudos on the name by the way) is a very simple search engine with a singular purpose… finding t-shirts. More »

The interesting part about this TinySong and Grooveshark is that you can listed to the song in it’s entirety online. Many similar sites will offer this same service - but for a fee. Services like Rhapsody which charges a monthly fee or iTunes that requires you to pay on a per-song basis. More »
Tags: music, share, shorteningedopter.com is a crowdsourcing project in social trends. Which is another way of saying that the site uses a large group of people to find and predict what will popular next. While the site is mainly oriented towards the early adopter crowd (hence the name “e-dopter”), anyone who’s interested in new and emerging technologies and trends will find this site very useful.
On top of early adopters and people who enjoy being part of the “in-crowd”, this site has a huge potential for marketers, businesses, and bloggers alike. With it, you’d be able to identify which trends might be coming to a store or browser near you and get a leg up on the competition. More »

Most major image search engines will provide you with a few ways to filter your results, but these are normally left to image size and maybe orientation. Picitup combines the indexing power of major image search engines and image repositories, then takes that service one step further by allowing you to fine tune your results. More »
Tags: image search, similar, visual searchFacesaerch.com (yes, it’s actually spelled that way) is a fun image search engine for faces. This application really doesn’t have any useful purpose, except for a fun little time waster. But… it’s a Saturday morning, so I thought I would include something a little less serious and more fun.
Facesaerch is a very simple search that queries the Google Image Search api to gather images of faces based on your entry. So, let’s say you’re a stalker big fan of Angelina Jolie (see screenhot) you can quickly scroll through a portrait gallery of her pictures.

The site allows users to store, edit, share, print, and even market your photos online. With well over 2 billion photos online, your photo search is bound to turn up something good.
Originally launched in February 2004 and later acquired by Yahoo! in March of 2005, Flickr is known as one of the first “Web 2.0″ applications. The site is a pioneer in the field of user contributed content and community that is now a standard with most web applications. More »
Tags: creative, photos, Tools, Yahoo!When a friend asks you about the move you saw last night, do you go into a long dissertation on the development of the characters, the plot lines, or the imagery? Unless you’re a film major… probably not. Typically you have a quick answer like, “It was awesome!” or “It sucked, it was way to long and boring”. So, why spend time reading through lengthy reviews from some stuffy, elitist critic? Try Blippr.com instead.
Blippr is a social review site that allows it’s users to rate movies, music, books, and games in 160 characters or less. Given the recent popularity of short messaging services - or “lifecasting” applications like Twitter and Plurk - Blippr has taken that concept and molded it into a nice little review site.

Granted, you’re probably not going to have a computer handy in the middle of a baseball field, but you get the point. LyricsFly.com is a cool little application that allows you to find lyrics of a song by artist, song title, album, or Lyrics.

GiantBomb is an online encyclopedia of everything in or around video games. This is a massive site that includes game reviews, news, characters, and items… pretty much anything you can think of that involves video games.
Now, I’m not a HUGE gaming geek connoisseur like some people I know, but I do enjoy the occasional game here and there. However, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through this site. There’s a lot of tools and options that I have never thought of, but really make sense in this context. Case in point is the “locations” link under Browse in the main menu. This is a cool little feature that allows you to browse through games based on location. Meaning, you can find games that are set in space or in Japan.
