Web Wednesdays – September 8, 2010
Posted on Sep 08, 2010 by Anne Lopez in News, Web Design, Web Wednesdays
Web Wednesday – each Wednesday we will feature a website that we’ve come across while in our process of searching for inspiration, the latest trends, or learning about anything and everything we can get our hands on that interests us.
Getting married? Having a baby? Buying a house? Than this community of websites is just for you – The Knot, The Bump and The Nest.
Now, I know that we are suppose to only highlight one website per week, but looking at these three great websites full of information and interactivity, I have to consider all three of them as a great online resource or a website community for planning three most important events in your life – Marriage, Baby and Home.
TheKnot.com – Engagement and Wedding Planning
The Knot website covers anything and everything from an inception of engagement to your honeymoon. Rings, invitations, photographers, cakes, dresses and tuxes – they’ve got it all. Local wedding planning is available with vendors near you. If you are looking for a destination wedding – The Knot has it! Tips and tricks on how to save money for you big day, what to do and what not to do, even hints on what to get your bridal party as a present.
The Bump – Getting Pregnant and Parenting
The Bump goes over everything from planning a baby to being a great parent to your child. For those of you who have children of your own, sometimes an advise or a story from a fellow parent is priceless. Here at TheBump.com you will find it all, pregnancy tips, baby names, nursery decoration suggestions and support groups for parents.
TheNest.com – Home Buying Help, How To and Decor Ideas
The American Dream – home ownership. I don’t need to tell you that this is a perfect time to buy a house, the interest rates are low and there a plenty houses to pick from. The Nest website will help you with the process of searching for the right mortgage, suggestions on how to find the right realtor, what to look for when seeing houses, closing tips, decoration ideas and more.
All three websites are packed full of great info and ideas. If you have some time (especially if you are in the middle or about to begin one of the three major steps in your life) browse through one, two or even all three websites.
Google TV to be released this year
Posted on Sep 08, 2010 by Peter Ellis in IT, News, Social Media
Its not like Google does not have enough on their plate, they are adding yet another thing – Google TV (view official Google TV video below).
Google TV is a new experience made for television that combines the TV you know and love with the freedom and power of the Internet.
Google’s premise is to bring the web to your living room via your TV. Hopefully Google will do a better job than Apple did with this idea (i.e. Apple TV). Google TV service is going to be free of charge, but we are sure that a premium subscription options will follow in the future.
Google already has few manufacturers lined up to start producing the device for Google TV (first Sony then Samsung coming on later in the year). The device will have to compete with similar digital video players (“video boxes”) like Roku and Boxee.
Google TV is to be released in the U.S. late this year and for the rest of the world, early 2011.

MySpace announces a one-way sync with Facebook. MySpace users now can update their profile status on MySpace and have it automatically update their Facebook profile. It came as a big surprise to many that the sync was only a one-way function. MySpace promises a two-way sync to be released late this year or early next.

Take a break with us!
Posted on Aug 27, 2010 by Anne Lopez in News
It’s Friday, the weekend is close but your hard at work trying to concentrate only to find that your mind is wandering. What to do? Take a break with us! We’ve found this fun video posted by Felix Meyer that caught our eye. It’s got a great concept on simplifying iconic movies while making you think to see if you recognize them. I got about half right the first time, but I find myself watching it over to see if I can pick out anymore. Take a look at clip below and see how many movies you can spot!
