This latest diversion into the nether-niches just launched late last week to create a community where unemployed people can come together. The startup is owned by Spacemen Labs, a Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company and promises the “potential” of community action up to and including “life long connections at the click of a button.” Just when I thought I had seen it all (well actually I was awaiting the very next excursion [...]

Gochongo! The name has a ring to it doesn't it? The startup GoChongo just entered private beta testing April 1st and is scheduled for public testing by today.

I truly and personally am sorry for this unfathomable loss and for each and every moment of pain this has caused you folks. The only consolation I can offer each of you is my [...]

Votigo is a new contest site that lets people be the judge of, well the judge of anything really. Votigo simply lets anyone from business to Aunt Bernice start their own video or photo contest. Users can create a contest from anything they are either involved or interested in and there are some pricey prizes to win too.
I tagged the site as a simple diversion, which it is, but the partners of the site are quite impressive and include: Prom [...]

Free online encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the most popular sites on the Web, and Jimmy Wales has operated the multilingual virtual encyclopedia for??6 years without the first ad. If you think about this for a minute the significance of operating one of the world’s most popular web sites without a scrap of adverting for years really sinks in.

Are there more women online in America or are there more men? I bet your natural inclination would be to say men. Well, according to a study released recently women out number men by about ten percent.
According to eMarketer about 97 million women use the Internet in The U.S., while male users number roughly 91 million. One of the reasons for the disparity are the activities available on the Web. According to the study there are more female oriented activities [...]
