Gifttagging - tag things you want, and hope someone gets them for you

tag things you want with gifftaggingHow do we look at this site. As a way to greedily store information on things you want, or a way for friends and family to check in and see what items you might find useful when special occasions roll around?

Gifttagging is a way that users can tag items they want to have, hoping that friends and family can find some great gift ideas. It's also a way to meet and interact with people that have the same tastes. Part social network, part shopcasting. The front page of the site shows off the most popular tags people have used, with recent gifts that people posted. Getting setup is as easy as entering your name, email, and user name. When adding new items to your profile choose a name, price, drop in a URL where the product can be found, tag it, and choose 'scan image' to see if the system can find a picture for you. Gifttagging also offers a browser add on to make it easier to bookmark your wants.

There, now you're done and ready to send your shopping profile link to family and friends!

This service is similar to Mypicklist or ThisNext.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
