Ok, so it’s been a few days since I’ve posted, but keeping in the spirit of the Labor Day Holiday here in the states, I decided to take the day off.  It’s now 12:09am on Tuesday, so technically it’s no longer Monday.

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 »

Wegame.com is an interesting and fun site that allows you to watch, record, and upload videos of your game play. Wegame is similar to other video sites in which users can upload videos for other visitors to watch, rate, and comment on.

Besides user submitted videos of game play, the site also allows game producers to upload their latest trailers of new and upcoming games. Now, as I’ve said before in previous posts… I’m not a hard core gamer. However, this site can be rather addictive and a fun way to pass the time. More »

Facesaerch.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.

Etsy.com is community of craftspeople and designers creating some very unique and hand made items.  In today’s world of Walmart’s and big box type of stores, it can be hard to find good quality and unique items.  The kind of items you used to find at the mom-and-pop store down the street.  At first glance, you would think that Etsy is just another Ebay clone… but once you take a closer look, you realize that it’s something completely different.  The best way I can put it, is Ebay is like a garage sale and Etsy is like an artist fair.

Now, I’m not knocking Ebay… it’s a great site and a site I use on a regular basis to find items you can’t find in stores.  But, the type of sellers on Etsy are just a breed apart.  Most are actual designers, artists, or craftspeople who actually make thier items instead of just selling them.

Essentially, the name says it all… Ask a question and the service will allow 500 people to answer the question before it’s complete.  Since most of the posts are made public, it can be used as a public opinion poll in real time.  So, you can see answers to questions as they come in and also see the location from where they were voting from.

I have to admit, this is one of my favorite time wasting sites on the web right now.  Granted, it can be used for some very valuable information and polling, but you can also spend hours just sitting there searching for different questions and watching the answers come in.
