Don't Like iGoogle? Try Zeadoo

iGoogle has lots of cool gadgets and features which can be added to your homepage but sometimes people get bored with it over time. How about trying Zeadoo which has less features but I feel that it's more powerful and useful. Zeadoo is a simple and customizable personal homepage which main features are searching the web with one click, accessing your bookmarks easily and sharing interesting sites with your friends on Zeadoo. Zeadoo one-click search feature is unique as users can add their favorite sites or search engines such as Google, Yahoo, YouTube, CNN, etc. to their Zeadoo homepage for fast searching. After using Zeadoo for a few days, I feel that it's much faster than iGoogle, mainly is because of its framework build and plain design. There are currently 7 themes to choose from for your homepage background. To manage your bookmarks, you will have to import your boookmarks from your computer and you can visit your favorite sites from the bookmarks in Zeadoo homepage. Ze...

Free Service that Lets you Send a 100MB File via Email

What if you have large attachments (maybe around 50MB) and you would like to send to your friends via email but nowadays free email providers such as Gmail has only a maximum attachment size of only 20MB. I've stumbled across a free service known as MailBigFile . This useful and powerful platform enables users to send files to a particular email address with a maximum attachment size of an amazing 100MB! (5 times more than Gmail) You can even add a message to be included in the email but it's optional. Upgrading to a premium service will allow you to have more benefits and features such as faster uploads, send bigger files, encrypted transfer and many more. It cost $20 per year but it's worth the money if you were to send huge attachments frequently. Print Page

Lending Club - A Place to Borrow & Invest Money

Are you greatly affected by the recent financial meltdown and need instant cash to pay for your debts? Or are you willing to invest your savings into stocks but afraid that it'll continue to fall tremendously? Well, if you're one of the above, I'll advice you to try out a social lending website called LendingClub . From the interview with the founder of LendingClub, Renaud Laplanche explains how this service works, " We have created a platform that lets borrowers and lenders meet directly online and trade money at an average rate of about 10%. As a way to help build confidence on the lenders' side, we have decided to limit access to borrowers with at least a 640 Fico score and less than 20% debt-to-income ratio. This combination will result in low defaults and excellent net returns for the lenders. The flip side is that we have to turn down a fair number of borrowers. " Print Page

You've Heard About Adsense But Do You Know TwitAd The Twitter Money Soloution !

Isn't it cool that even Twitter can let you earn money by just setting up a Twitter user profile? The money will not come from Twitter but from advertisers who participate in Twittad . The main objective of Twittad is that it's an ad social platform which enables Twitter users and advertisers to discuss about ads placement and website promotions on a Twitter user profile. For publishers, to create a listing, first of all you'll have to include your ad duration and price and you would most probably be listed in the front page. When an advertiser feels that it's worth the price, he or she will purchase it. Of course, to attract advertisers, you must have a fair amount of followers, maybe around 1,000 is good enough. Next, upload your ad into the design section of your Twitter's profile and you can start earning money! I've not tried this out but it seems a good way to earn money! Print Page
