Giveaway of the Day


Forget Facebook friends, start collecting Facebook enemies!
Monday, October 22, 2007
EnemybookIn what is probably the funniest Facebook app ever invented, EnemyBook is now on the scene where you can collect your enemies in your Facebook account.

The application doesn't seem to have any cruel overtones - it's more tongue-in-cheek than anything else. You can add George W Bush or Mark Zuckerberg for example. But what is REALLY amusing about EnemyBook is that you can specify why a particular person is your enemy. So you can choose from options like "He killed my family" or "she insulted my honour" or just a straight-forward "I don't know this enemy but I hate them already"!

You can even tell your Facebook contacts to make your enemy their enemy, and if that wasn't enough, you can flip the finger at your enemy!

This one's a keeper for me.

Turning Gmail into a social hub
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Steve Rubel of Micro Persuasion has done it again with another brilliant post on how to get more out of Gmail (or any other email service for that matter). The only downside for me is that I am not really much of a social networking person so I am unlikely to use much of what he suggested.

I don't like Twitter and I only use Facebook occasionally to play Scrabulous and to network with some business prospects. I am not completely into the whole "Facebook lifestyle" like a lot of other people. I don't need contacts' status details emailed to me as they happen and I don't feel the need to constantly change my status profile to let the whole world know what I am doing.

So Steve has some great advice but on this occasion, it doesn't apply much to me. But I really like the way Steve thinks and how he always finds new uses for everyday web apps. His best post by far is turning Gmail into a personal nerve center. Definately a classic and one I highly recommend you check out.

Scrabulous updates on the way
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Attention Scrabulous addicts. As you may have noticed while knocking out your opponent with your 8 letter word, there is a post on Facebook notifying us that new servers will be launched on Thursday. This is welcome news as the amount of "error loading pages" is beyond belief. But according to the Facebook Scrabulous Group, some other changes are also on the way -

  • Temporary score - No need to do the math before placing a word.
  • Tiles left - Tile tracking will be a lot easier for all players.
  • Improved interface - You will love it (apparently - we'll see)
  • Dictionaries - We shall be offering more language options (hopefully German?)
  • Type tiles option - Will be much faster to place the tiles on to the board.
  • Messaging system - New message notification icon.

I also didn't realise some other existing features such as the envelope icon being the ability to send your opponent a message, the notepad icon being a complete listing of all moves made, and if you right-click on the board and choose "numbered board", the value of each square will be shown.

My new productivity killer
Thursday, September 06, 2007
As if it wasn't bad enough that I am now addicted to the TV series, "Prison Break", I now have another impediment on my productivity - the Facebook version of Scrabble - Scrabulous.

Yesterday, I was really sucking with words like PAY and VAN but today I am rocking with words like QUANT, OSCULA, AVOWS and UPROAR. As a result, I am now narrowing the gap between me and my opponent!

If anybody wants to play me, invite me as a friend on your Facebook profile, install the Scrabulous game and let's play!
