Your Favorite Websites? Please Post Here...

Hi there!


It's a new year and I realize I've been in a rut, shuttling back and forth between   the same old websites...


So, I would greatly appreciate any weird, fun, interesting and/or useful  websites that you frequent or have come across!


Thanks

Facebook with language changed to  "English Pirate"... is good for a 5 min giggle.


Otherwise I'm kind of a "one site man"...

=======


http://www.quillpad.com


I am learning hebrew because I am trying to get in touch with my mom's roots... therefore this is a good website to practice and learn other languages with other types of calligraphy.... it explains which characters in which languages sound like and how you need to use them etc. very educative!


======


http://www.palshare.com/


this one is good if you want to send VERY LARGE files or upload them... movies, enormous pictures etc... like imageshack but for bigger stuff.


========


http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page


THIS IS BY FAR!!!! THE BEST BEST BEST BEST WEBSITE EVER!!! 


like reading? well this website has over 20 thousand books... you just have to type the title of the book you want to read and the website will upload it for you, you can even save the book  on your computer!!!


========


http://www.bigstring.com/


sent an email you should have not sent? well if you just clicked send and then you said to yourself OH NO.... I shouldn't have sent that!!! this website will find your email and send it back to you before the other person reads it.


========


http://musicovery.com/index.php?ct=us


this is the second website ever... you go in it, click on the mood you feel and it will select music for you to listen for free!! so if you're feeling blue, go click on feeling blue and sit back and listen to the music selection for feeling under the weather... feeling energetic, go click on energetic and it will play energentic music to you!!!

The wife is always right and you know it!


If you want to perfect your Mobile Apps powers, then we're looking for a programmer to mobile-up our BuyClub platform. But in true start-up style, we ain't got the money to pay for it...If wide advertising in Geneva in return for work interest you, pls let me know.


Thanks,

Hi Nir


Advertising in Geneva is not really anything that interests me much, however, building your mobile app could be, we have been known to enter in to co-operation agreements with small start ups, we build the app and then take a share. Subject to contract of course.


Let me know what you have in mind, maybe open forum is not the best place to discuss business, send me an email and we can discuss this matter if you wish..


Regards


Bainzy
