Support For Sellers of Replica Sunglasses

When I started my business, I did not have much capital to play around with and I definitely could not afford to lose that capital. I did a lot of research looking for the best source in terms of quality, pricing and business support. I can't say that I have found the best although I am able to make do with what I currently have and grow from there.

I wish that I have gone into selling replica sunglasses instead. CTSWholesalers.com is a great company that will help people who are just venturing into retail business, especially those who are thinking of selling replica sunglasses.

These sunglasses are sold from $10 per dozen by CTSWholesalers.com and although they are cheap, they never compromise on the quality. The reason they are cheap is because CTSWholesalers is able to source for Wholesale Designer Sunglasses from around the world in bigger quantities than we ever could and they have passed the savings over to their customers.

I think CTSWholesalers.com has a very good support system for their customers. I may even start selling sunglasses sooner than I realize!

Shop Online For Mother's Day Flowers

Mike, a buyer of mine, asked me where he could find fresh Mothers Day flowers this Mother's Day. He likes to shop online but he does not know of a reliable online florist.

I told him about FlowerShop.com where he will be given the best service as it is a family-run floral company backed with more than three decades of experience in floral retailing.

I have seen the vast products and gift ideas that are available on the website and I am sure that he would be able to get what he is looking for this Mother's Day, whether it is a bouquet of fresh flowers or unique gifts for his Mother, FlowerShop.com is surely able to meet his needs. The wonder of online shopping is that everything could be done online and he could take his time selecting the perfect gift.

Mike is satisfied with my suggestion and promised to update me on his mother's reaction upon receiving her gift this Mother's Day.

I love contests hosted by authors because authors always give away book prizes, book vouchers, gift certificates and other book related prizes.

In fact, have featured quite a few popular authors on my blog. Today, I am delighted to introduce yet another generous author and she is Bertrice Small. I am sure most romance novel readers would recognise her name :-)

Bertrice Small runs a monthly contest on her personal website and for the month of March, she is giving away a $25 gift certificate from Borders Books. All you have to do is fill out the form provided with your personal information and wait for the good news.

Each person can only enter one contest per month. I understand that her contests are open to worldwide residents so try your luck.

Free Stock Photos

After the threat by Getty Images to bill people who have used their images, I began to look for free stock photos where webmasters and bloggers can use for free. Although I did not use any image from Getty Images, I have friends who did and they needed to replace their Getty images with something free.

I found Free Photos Bank for them. There are many high quality stock photos here that are free to download and use. Photos are sorted by various categories and it is very easy to look for exactly the type that you want.

No Getty, no worries. There are plenty more sites that offer similar, if not better images and for free too.

1st Annual Readers' Choice Survey

My sister is going to Phoenix, Arizona for a holiday and wants to know the best places to dine out. Coincidentally, AZcentral, the very popular website, has a new feature called Chow & Tell where the best places are unearthed by the professional AZcentral street team. My sister is very happy to be recommended such high quality Phoenix restaurants where she could try out when she is on holiday there.

While I was checking out AZcentral to pass this information to my sister, I was happy to see the new "AZcentral's Best". This is like a popularity voting contest involving every reader. Readers are supposed to vote for the best spots in Phoenix to eat, shop, play or just plain relax.

You can vote now in the 1st annual readers' choice survey as it has already started on March, 13th and will end on 10th April, 2007.

Win With Unique Bids In Unique Reverse Auctions

As you know, I love to participate in contests, especially those that practically win me something for nothing.

Today, I came across a fun reverse auction website where the lowest unique bid will win the prize. The concept is very simple. Just select one of the many free gifts or prizes available and bid via text message or online.

Place a low bid and if your bid is not the lowest, you will be informed so that you can decide if you want to place a lower bid than that. At the end of the auction, the person with the lowest unique bid will win the prize.

What I like about this game is the simplicity, playability and user-friendliness of the game, besides the wide range of luxury prizes to be won that includes the Apple Iphone, designer bag or even cash prize. Moreover, the chances of winning the auction or sweepstake is great since there is a new winner everyday.

Even if you do not win, every bid you place will be awarded reward points where you can accumulate to redeem for free gifts at the Bid4Prizes reward store.

HighFivez.com The Blog Guide

Being an active blogger with multiple blogs, I have often wondered where I can easily read various blogs without going all over the internet searching for quality blogs. I was thinking more like blogs that are submitted to a directory for ease of search and read. I would rather read blogs by ordinary folks than by the heavyweights in the blogosphere because blogs by the ordinary people like myself are more real.

I was delighted to come across a blog guide at HighFivez.com. At this site, bloggers get to submit their blogs to the directory which I think is good for the exposure that it can gain the blogger. Besides submitting blogs as a whole, the blogger can also choose to submit blog post. This will of course be of great benefit to the blogger thanks to the added exposure.

When one has submitted the blog post, the post will be open for voting by other members. A positive vote is called a HighFive while a negative vote is a Pound. I looked through the posts and read those with high number of HighFives and I must say, that is a good indication of the quality of the posts. It must be because the votes are based on the honest opinion of fellow members and not robots that simply vote.

With a site like HighFivez, I am able to search and view blog posts sorted by categories, tags and languages. Most of all, I can keep track of my favorite blogs in a central place.

Social Network Portal For Brainy People

I mentioned before that the internet is too vast and oft times, one feels all alone on the world wide web. I am an advocate of joining a clique, a social circle. There is no need to be all alone when we can network virtually.

Today, I would like to introduce you to a soon-to-be launched social portal but this is something different as it is only open for science hobbyists and fans and technology geeks. I can just imaging the site filled with brainy people.

Besides being a social network portal, Sci-Edge can also help you to earn money. You will be paid for reviewing gadgets or writing about science, which should be your pet topic, shouldn't it?

Well, I've got Science phobia myself, so you won't be seeing me there, but do enjoy yourself!

Quality Dentist Like Charles Brown DDS

I told a few friends about Hayfield Dental Care and we all agree that it has a great concept so that a dental patient can have every dental procedure done under one building. This is especially convenient for people in larger cities because with facilities like Hayfield Dental Care, they do not have to travel all over the city just to take care of their dental problems.

Also, it is indeed great news that Hayfield Dental Care only employs the best dentists. Take for example Charles Brown DDS PC. This dentist has been with Hayfield Dental Care for over ten years and has performed thousands of dental procedures and surgeries without even a single complaint against him. Charles Brown DDS is an award-winning dentist and is listed as one of the top dentists by the Washington Area Consumer Council.

My friends and I were thinking, isn't it great is every city and town has a dental center like Hayfield Dental Care with dentists like Charles Brown DDS?

Watch Movie Videos FREE

Image courtesy of Cinema Now

After changing the layout of my blog, I needed a break from blogging. Besides, there is a lack of sponsored post to write lately so I have a little time on hand. I went online searching for free movies to watch.

I have heard of Cinema Now a long time ago as a subscription based movie website but it was only now that I bothered to check the site out. To my surprise, there is a free section where anyone can watch the free videos. There are more than four hundred videos available listed in sixteen categories.

Upon clicking WATCH NOW, a new window is opened with the Cinema Now player. As it was my first time, I was prompted to install some security pack which I did, otherwise the video could not be rendered.

The idea of watching free movies this way is excellent. Unfortunately, I am on a not-so-perfect broadband and the audio and/or video kept breaking spoiling my movie. In the end, I quit the window.

For those who have a faster internet connection than mine, do try this out. With more than four hundred titles to choose from, there is bound to be something for everyone.

Jean-Claude, the Animated Tiger

I came across a really cool video recently that I would like to share with my readers. It is a video of an animated tiger by the name of Jean Claude.

Jean Claude is actually the number one backgammon player at BackgammonMasters so he does have a trick or two up his sleeves.

Jean Claude is not only a skilful backgammon player but he has the upper hand on most things in life which you can watch and learn something from his video series.

This video is actually part of a five-part video series of Jean Claude titled, "Life According to Jean Claude". The best thing is that viewers get to win cool prizes from the trivia questions at the end of the video.

I hope you will enjoy the video as much as I did.

http://www.BackgammonMasters.com is using a ground-breaking and original approach to promote and establish their skill game software in the online game market.

"BackgammonMasters creates a new dimension in online backgammon branding in their 5 part interactive animation series titled 'Life According to Jean-Claude'." In the series we are exposed to a hilarious explanation and comparison by Jean-Claude of how to succeed at everything from playing backgammon to chopping onions, to fulfilling ones dreams and make important life choices.

In the opening clip we, find Jean-Claude, a tiger, humoristic, mafia type, dressed in 70's clothes (bell-bottoms and cream-colored shoes, a button-up shirt with a dice print and a large dollar sign chain around his neck) sitting in his trailer in the used junk car lot he manages.

No, he doesn't feel pathetic or sad amidst the junk, on the contrary. He is full of street smarts obtained during his many years in the University of Life. BackgammonMasters has maintained a high profile in the news lately not only because of Jean-Claude, they also recently launched a 3-in-1 game lobby offering games such as Backgammon, Poker and Perudo (Liar's Dice), all in one download.

A Dallas Internet Marketing Company

My friend, Carol, who is also into etrading, told me that she has in fact engaged the services of a Dallas internet marketing company. I was curious on why she chose this company. Carol told me that this company is very well-versed in the latest designs and management tools required to get any web address ranked on the first page of major search engines.

This exposure is very important and will garner serous traffic to our website. Carol said there is a significant jump in visitor number and it is then up to her to entice visitors with goodies on her site to convert these eyeballs into sales.

Carol is so satisfied with the services of this company that she is contemplating optimizing search engine and search engine marketing by the same company.

Just Say Hi!

I met an old friend last night. He said he is still single and has been rather disappointed with love. He told me he wasted time, energy and money registering himself with social network portals like Yahoo and Plentyoffish because he could not find anybody that could connect with him.

I took the opportunity to tell him about the absolutely free online dating website, Just Say Hi that some of my other friends successfully forged relationships from. There is no harm trying, since all it takes is just to fill out a simple form. He doesn't even even need to provide his credit card details, unlike some other sites.

When he heard that no credit card details are required, he was rather happy because he had a bad experience before where he was billed when he thought the services were free. He said that he will register with this dating portal and for the last time too! Perhaps, this time he can finally find his match here? Let's hope so.

I came across The Knot Wedding Shop and was amazed at their vast selection of unique and outstanding wedding favors. I understand that The Knot Wedding Shop is the largest online store selling unique personalized wedding favors and if there is any special wedding favor that you are looking for, you should start your search here first and I am sure they will be able to meet your needs due to their widest selection of products.

What I like about The Knot Wedding Shop is that they are able to personalize wedding favors for free whereas some other shops would surely bill us. This value added service is definitely worth it for us to shop here. Anything to cut cost, you know?

The Knot Wedding Shop is definitely the place to shop for wedding couples who are on a tight budget, thanks to their daily selection of sale items where one can save up to 50% off regular prices. This is good news indeed.

10% off Next Purchase @ Big Paw Designs

Today I am fortunate enough to come across an online store which carries pet charms, jewelries, necklaces and gifts for the dogs and cats in our lives. I believe that our beloved animal companions deserve to be pampered although not many people will agree with me.

There are many beautiful and unique charms at Big Paw Designs where we can show our love to our pets and these charms will also make unique gifts to our fellow pet loving friends.

The Woof Fleur de Lis collar charm caught my eye as a portion of the proceeds from this sale and its matching key chain will be going to New Orleans pet rescues to help rebuild New Orleans.

The Best Wholesale Sunglasses Business Support

Many people have asked me how I managed to bring in so many items of different designs. Well, this is a trade secret that I will willing share with you.

Take for example sunglasses. It is not enough to have a supplier who can supply you with low cost sunglasses but you also need a supplier to supply you with good quality sunglasses. And then if you are lucky, you have another supplier to supply you with the various designs of sunglasses.

If you think that it is very troublesome to have three suppliers, yes I also agree. Therefore, if you were to venture into selling sunglasses, the best supplier you can get is one who can supply you with a vast variety of low cost, quality sunglasses all at once.

I believe CTSWholesaleSunglasses.com is the company who can meet all your Wholesale Sunglasses needs and more.

Check out their website and you can see that with over three hundred styles of sunglasses to choose from, you will be able to keep your customers coming back for more every week.

Moreover, I believe that CTSWholesaleSunglasses.com can offer the best business support to people who are just venturing into small time retail business.

Reaping The Benefits of SEO

I was talking to a friend, David, recently who is into ecommerce in a bigger scale than me. He told me that if I am serious about the business, I should make more effort and set aside a budget for search engine optimization. He told me not to depend on companies that tout free services as that could in fact harm our web address if it was submitted into dubious link exchange programs or low quality, irrelevant directories. It may even cause our web address to be blacklisted by search engines. This sounds serious.

David told me that he engaged the services of a professional company and he paid a few hundred dollars per month but it is money well invested as his sales jumped drastically.

He also told me that after his first year, he was offered a renewal package at a much lower price and he was able to renew his subscription of the service and continue reaping the benefits of a fully search engine optimized website.

Social Dating For Blacks

I have previously featured a few social dating sites and to be fair, I thought I would look for a Black Dating site to feature too. So I came across BlackScene.com. I must say the name is really apt for such a site.

This is one of the fastest growing social dating site with a few hundred new members a day. I think it is great that such a site is set up exclusively for blacks to expand their social circle among people of their race, although I am not saying that blacks can't befriend people of other colors.

Despite not being able to join the site, I did browse through it and find the site very user-friendly and it is very easy to look for members who are online or contact people who attract our attention.

I feel that black people who would like to have more friends should join BlackScene.com because of its huge database of members so there surely will be people who are just right for you.

More Than Just Vineyards

I came across Just Vineyards that is a unique directory that I would like to feature. Just Vineyards is, despite its name, more than just vineyards. It is, besides a comprehensive directory of the almost 5,000 American vineyards and wineries, a wine resource center with informative articles on wine, links to other wine sites, wine magazines and wine education.

There is also a powerful wine search engine where one can search for wine across the internet and their prices.

Although I am not a heavy wine drinker myself, I am rather interested in wine too, especially red wine. Therefore, I was delighted to read their 411 on wine and pairing of the different wine with food. At least I am more knowledgeable now and will not embarrass myself at dinners.

If you would also like to learn more about wine and how to appreciate fine wine better, hop over to Just Vineyards, your starting point to all things wine.

Finding Love Through Russian Dating

I love featuring social dating websites because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot at love. Many people I know have been disappointed with local romance because somehow, the women here are not what the guys expect them to be.

Many have looked overseas for women who are grounded and hold deep family values. This is what typical Russian women are like. Not only are they beautiful, they place the most importance on family above everything else, just like their mothers and grandmothers.

LoversPlanet.com is an online Russian dating and personals agency that specializes introducing Russian and Eastern European ladies to men from around the world. Such men appreciate women of this nature and LoversPlanet.com has been instrumental in many successful marriages.

I believe that men who are single should wait no longer and take this step forward in finding true love with a Russian woman.

Unlimited Download Bandwidth from AnimeGround.com

I love watching anime and Korean dramas but one of the things that puts me off from watching more than I would love to is the excruciatingly slow speed when I download anime and dramas because they come in so many episodes. I have heard of people being able to download an episode in less than an hour but mine takes almost a day and sometimes two! This really is a major mood killer.

It is indeed a blessing when I was told that one could get blazing speeds downloading anime, manga or drama from AnimeGround.com and one can opt to download via HTTP or FTP.

AnimeGround currently hosts approximately 600 animes, 450 mangas and 150 dramas totaling four terabytes and counting! They are charging $9.95 per month payable by credit card or PayPal for unlimited downloads.

Now, I have experienced before websites that also charge about the same or even lower subscription fees but their speed also slows down during peak hours when there are too many people downloading at the same time. PLUS they limit our bandwidth without letting us know upfront or bill us extra when we exceeded our bandwidth quota *frowns*

I can 't wait to start my downloads from AnimeGround.com. There are so many goodies for me to pick and choose, I do not know which series to start first!

Free Blogger/Blogspot Templates

Image courtesy of Final Sense

I have been feeling bored with my blog template and went looking for high quality Blogger/Blogspot templates that are free to use. There are of course many sites that offer them but Final Sense caught my attention.

There is a whole list of not only Blogger/Blogspot templates but also website templates that are beautifully made. I actually found one that I wanted to change to. Unfortunately, it can't be viewed perfectly with IE. Since I use both Firefox and IE, I prefer to have my sites rendered well on these two most popular browsers. This is the only issue that stopped me from changing my template pronto. I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this glitch?

Anyway, there is a special FIFA World Cup template series from Final Sense. Although the World Cup is over already, true football fans wouldn't mind using it to support the national team, right?

Car Classifieds With A Difference

I came across a car classifieds website with a difference. This automobile marketplace, with many Used Cars For Sale, is targeted at North Americans, including Canadian users, is different because it is free to use. Buyers and Sellers on AutoCity101 are not charged a single cent, while other websites that are offering the same features are charging fees.

AutoCty101 upkeeps the site with revenue generated from their website sponsors. However, a huge chunk from this money is going towards the set up of an orphanage for displaced children called Natalia's House.

This home is the brainchild of the owners of AutoCity101.com and they are allowing us to have a direct hand in raising funds just by using their website, AutoCity101.

I think this is an excellent idea as just by doing our usual car shopping, we get to be involved directly in raising funds for Natalia's House. Hop over to start browsing through the many listings of cars, cars and more cars. Help the owners so that they can launch Natalia's Home by the end of 2007.

Protect Your Personal Info

In my search for contests and freebies, I have come across many sites that sometimes claim to protect our privacy, which according to the Legal Definitions Dictionary could be traced back to the nineteenth century, but then sell off our information to third parties. That's why, keeping this blog, I am very careful to only select websites that do not distribute our private information, contact details, and worse, our Social Security Number or credit card number to marketers or scammers who would willingly pay a premium price for such a list.

Some companies, however, write it upfront that they will send you an occasional email update or website newsletter. Well, I am all right with those.

Sometimes you have to ask yourself if something is too good to be true. The bottom line is, do not compromise on your privacy!

Unique Tools for Arizona Real Estate Buyers & Sellers

In today's IT age where more and more people have ready access to the internet and even people of my parent's generation is more web savvy, people consult the internet first before making commitments to purchase large items like computers, cars and real estate.

Today, I came across a Scottsdale real estate blog which I think is very useful to people who are looking to buy a home in the Scottsdale or Phoenix area, where the owner of this blog, The Holm Group, services.

Likewise, property owners who are looking to sell their property in this area also will benefit from the blog and its parent site at http://www.theholmgroupaz.com/, two of the groups comprehensive and high ranked sites that have made its presence felt on the major search engines.

The Holm Group has developed unique tools for the Arizona real estate Buyers and Sellers with its custom searches, featured listings and communities and golf maps just to name a few.

Romance For Everyone

Many people have the misconception that romance is only for the young and only during Valentine's Day. In fact, people should know that romance for everyone and everyday should be our way of life. Romance keeps the spring in our footsteps.

I have been asked by my male friends how to write heart-moving love letters. I do tell them how with all the tips I got online but they do not know that my secret of writing love letters is actually at RomanceForEveryone.com

This website has more than love letters to offer. It is full of romantic stories and ideas, including tips on online dating for men and women. I think everyone should visit this romance resource site!

Free Match With Professional Contractors

If you have ever searched for a contractor before by yourself, you would understand how challenging it could be physically, mentally and financially. I have had my share of bad experiences and am reluctant to engage a contractor that does not come highly recommended.

It is a delight when I discovered OnCallContractors.com, a website that matches a home owner with contractors that are dependable and highly skilled. The discovery of this free service is timely as I had to look for kitchen remodeling contractors for my parents.

With this free service, I am easily matched with the contractor that best suits the service I require and I do not have to worry about unscrupulous contractors anymore!

The Hawaiian Ecotourism Industry

My friend, Boon, was an environmental activist. Since I met him, his environmental ideas have rubbed off on me as well and I try to do the least bit of harm to Mother Earth.

I came across this travel agency at their website, HawaiianBeachRentals.com. What I like about them is that they are champions of ecotourism in Hawaii. Ecotourism is actually vacation packages that are like no other. These vacations protect environmental assets and yet there is profit to be made.

A very popular HawaiianBeachRentals.com vacation rentals offered is Kauai Ecotourism Vacation Rentals.

Kauai is an island in Hawaii which is very rich in its natural beauty. The people of Hawaii are not going to spoil that beauty but that does not mean they cannot earn tourist dollars. In fact, this beautiful paradise on earth is a perfect example of what ecotourism can offer vacationers.

Take a look at the captivating screenshots. Don't you wish you were there too?

The Latest In Fashion Sunglasses

Friends know that I spend a lot of time online and they always ask me about the latest trends which I may have come across online. I can now safely tell them that Aviator Sunglasses are now making waves once again. I came across this piece of news on CTSWholeSaleSunglasses, who have recently expanded their range of aviator sunglasses to twenty five now.

CTSWholesaleSunglasses are selling these at $18 per dozen minimum and that equals to only $1.50 per pair. Because of their popularity, Aviator Sunglasses can be sold at $18 PER PAIR and that is a handsome profit of $16.50 per pair.

I have always encouraged people who would like to start a small business to go ahead, find a product that you like selling and source for a reliable supplier. If you are still in two minds, I would like to remind you to strike while the iron is hot.

Although I do not know her that well, hence unable to select a particular product to include in her gift basket, I know that the basket will be appreciated as I have selected only products of the highest quality for her.

Free Funny Videos

When I first subscribed to broadband, I was looking all over the internet for funny videos to watch and be entertained. I thought it is a waste of bandwidth not to use my subscription to the maximum.

Today, I came across AAA Funny Videos and had a sense of deja vu. This site is full of funny videos and I had a whale of a time watching them. It is a pity that due to work and life, I do not have as much time as I used to for funny video watching but I do still have a couple of minutes to spare daily! It gives me a good break from work.

I hope that you will enjoy this selection of funny videos as much as I did.

The Launch of Cafe.com

Gaming is now a social activity thanks to the launch of Cafe.com. The games on Cafe.com are designed for players of both genders and suitable for all ages. Players get to register for free and have full access to the games or download and install game applications on the computer without paying a cent.

Members also have the ability to build and personalize their profiles and create an avatar to represent themselves in gameplay. This makes a great platform for socializing.

Check out their recent press release below to know more about Cafe.com, the new social gaming portal that is changing the online gaming scene.

Boonty Announces Cafe.com, the First Social Casual Game Platform Dedicated to Free-to-Play Casual Games.

New York, NY - February 5th, 2007 – Boonty (www.boonty.net), one of the world’s largest platforms for online casual games, announced today the launch of the beta version of Cafe.com, the first gaming platform developed exclusively for social casual games. Cafe.com is unique in its treatment of each game as a social opportunity. The site’s library is comprised of high-quality casual games, all specifically designed to feature maximum community functionality.

With free membership, players can enjoy private and public game rooms, multi-player chat, and sophisticated personalization capabilities such as avatar creation and item-level purchases for game play enhancement. “In the offline world, everyone is a social casual gamer. Cafe.com brings every person’s desire to play a game with friends to the online world,” commented founder and President Mathieu Nouzareth.

“We’ve seen online casual gaming explode into a billion-dollar industry, enabling Boonty to achieve phenomenal growth and success. We are tremendously excited about the opportunities presented by incorporating the burgeoning areas of social networking and microtransactions, and we are committed to creating the most innovative gaming solutions available, exceeding the demands of gamers around the world.”

Cafe.com membership is free-of-charge, as is unrestricted play of the retail-quality games. To compliment revenue from microtransactions, the free-play approach will be supported by the addition of contextual advertising and sponsored game wrappers that reach players outside of game play as well as sponsored game and avatar items.

Nouzareth adds, “Brand owners, marketers, and advertisers have all recognized the enormous potential existing in gaming, but have yet to fully understand how to successfully work with the medium. At Cafe.com, we understand the gaming community, and we know how to implement solutions that will attract positive, lasting attention to the brand.” For more information or to start playing the beta version for free, visit www.cafe.com http://www.cafe.com.

This website is very cute that I just have to feature it even if it is so childish. But it is fun and will amuse the young and the young at heart alike.

The owner of this website, Marilyn Scott -Waters, has created colourful and artistic paper toys that we can print, cut and then glue the sides together to create a toy. All the images are free to print. However, Marilyn accepts donation via Paypal to help upkeep the site and to continue to provide more free paper toys to children around the world.

Video Sharing With A Difference

I came across KONKAN TV today, which is a South Asian (INDIAN) Video Distribution Website. This is a video sharing site streaming videos online with a difference as it is also a viral video site for mobile phones.

Streaming of videos online is free but one has to subscribe to enable the videos to stream via mobile phones. As a member of KONKAN TV, you can also upload your videos and share it with other members and mobile video subscribers.

What makes KONKAN TV special is that anyone can run a similar video sharing site as KONKAN TV allows you to use all content on KONKAN TV on your own domain name, using you own ad code.

Although all videos and features are the same as KONKAN TV, you get to decide how to brand your video sharing website or offer this service as an enhancement to your website or blog.

This is pretty cool if you ask me!

Glitter / Jewel / Doodle Text Generator

I recently saw some friends having glitter lettering for the signatures in forum boards I frequent. So off I went searching for a good website that provides free glitter text. I found quite a few, to be honest but I am featuring Glitter Bank because they not only have glitter text but also jewel text and the new doodle text. I like them actually although they look a little childish.

Anyway, all these text are free for us in our social networking profile like Friendster, MySpace, Xanga or any blog or website that needs a little bling bling.

Start generating your glitter, jewel or doodle animated GIF text and copy the codes over to your sites!
