Social Networking Utilty from NingWell, it could be YOUR Social Networking site.

What’s that you say? You don’t have a social networking site?

Why not? You can set up your own in a few minutes using Ning and it doesn’t even have to cost you a dime.

Of course, you’ll want to use your own domain and get rid of the company’s ads. This will cost a few bucks per month.

Once you get it up and running, run some advertising, run some contests to build up your user base, and watch the ad revenue go up!

 

The Stupid Woman Did It

I don’t know which is worse, the fact that the resistance in Iraq carries out these suicide attacks, or that they have such disrespect for the people who do their dirty work.

Read this piece on Time’s site: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1817158,00.html?xid=rss-topstories

This whole thing is bad enough. But of course the conservative bloggers are coming out of the woodwork to claim that progressives support this kind of thing. JournalingDavid.com just ran a piece shredding another blogger who was horrified by this tragedy. I don’t think he even bothered to read the whole article before jumping to the conclusion that anyone would support this stuff.

You can see his post here: http://www.journalingdavid.com/?p=4

Of course, he also posted a gruesome picture of the female suicide bomber. Maybe that was just to increase the “shock and awe”.

The OnionEvening news got you down? Depressed watching “Reality” TV?

Your problem could be that you’re getting too much reality. Try a little fake news instead.

The Onion (www.theonion.com) features some great fake news coverage and commentary with a definite left-wing bend. The site deals with real topics, but with fake stories.

Ever get amused at some of the stupid stories your local news station covers? Then you’ll really enjoy their story, Escaped Caterpillar On Rampage Through City (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/escaped_caterpillar_on_rampage).

Are you getting addicted to the current Presidential Race? They have a whole section of fake political coverage here www.theonion.com/content/whitehousewar.

Happy surfing!
