Socializing Search with Human Powered Search Engine, Mahalo

First, the background. Mahalo is a human-powered search engine launched sometime last year. If you’re not so into search engine technology, “human powered” simply means that unlike traditional search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Live Search, Mahalo creates organized, comprehensive, and spam free search results for the most popular search terms.

LifeAt My Building Lacks Communication

Let me set the stage.
It’s a Saturday night. My wife and I are hanging out with another couple at our apartment. There’s wine involved. It’s 10:45pm. Alicia Keys comes over the speakers. My wife and her friend get the urge. Before you know it, the four of us are belting out [...]

Find, Create, Discuss and Share Video Content through My WeShow

The online video content aggregation business may have been already conquered and monopolized by YouTube, being the most popular online video uploading site. But still, there are online video fanatics who will try to enter into the online video industry equipped with their own online video sites which may or may not be a copycat [...]

Will Texting Kill the Pizza Hut Phone Answerer?

Last week, Pizza Hut announced that it was joining Papa Johns and Dominos in the “text us your order from your mobile device” delivery service war.  After digesting the concept for a few days, it’s made me as gassy as the last time I downed a Supreme pie and some  cheese-injected breadsticks.

Schmooze with Pet Lovers at Petsmooch.com

We’ve been featuring various social networking sites here at Rotorblog that covers a wide array of niche/subject/interest. So, it didn’t surprise me at all to stumble upon a new social networking site for pets and pet owners, which aptly branded itself as Petsmooch.
Petsmooch brands itself as a social networking site “where pet smooch, owners schmooze.” [...]

Prep Up Your Social Networking Profiles with Free Stuff from SpaceGravy.com

I must admit that I admire social networkers who have the time to modify their profiles’ layouts with cool and punky backgrounds that may annoy us oldies, but then you got to give it to the young generation for having the patience and the ingenuity to liven up their social networking profiles. But thanks [...]

A Clean Fun Way to Socialize with Fellow Gamers at WePlayThis

WePlayThis is a new social network for gamers that doesn’t want to be a gaming site. What? How can a social network for gamers be not like a gaming site? Well, WePlayThis thinks that gaming sites are dark, geeky and cramped with porn, popups and poker ads. And WePlayThis is avoiding all of those bad [...]

Comic Strip Generator Makes Everyone An Illustrator

I’ve always been forced to express myself through writing. It’s not because I’m amazing at it, but it’s because the alternatives are much, much worse.
My singing is scary.
My dancing leaves my arms out of the mix.
And my drawing is stalled at stick figures.
Thanks to comic-strip generator Toonlet, I now have another outlet to express [...]

Will Video Games Save the Music Industry?

It’s way too early to tell if games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero will help the music industry rebound, but one thing’s for sure, it’s off to a blazing start.

Earn Extra Bucks by Using Social Networking Review Site, Ximmy

The web must have been deluded with social media sites that for a startup to gain momentum upon its birth are to come up with a good launch promo. That’s probably what Ximmy.com owners have in mind when they launched social networking review site, Ximmy.
Ximmy.com is your usual social bookmarking site, where you can submit [...]
