Mobber adds chat to your pages

mobberIt's a little more than chat, really. Mobber adds a bar at the top of your web pages with tiny icons of people (those visiting your page at the moment), and allows you to chat with them, as a group or individually. Mobber uses iframes, so you Myspace cadets are currently out of luck (they promise a Myspace-friendly Mobber bar in the future, but we'll see what Tom has to say about that). Of course, all this begs the question why you would do such a thing. On Myspace, it makes sense. On a business page, I'm not so sure. Every day we see more of these little widgets for your pages, and every day it seems like they want to be cool, but just try too hard. I'm not saying Mobber is useless, and I might give it a go on some of my web pages, I'm just saying it's another verse in a song we've heard before... But it's free, so why am I complaining?

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
