HYPERiGO: Speed dial for the web

by Brad Linder Sep 13th 2007

First there was the web browser bookmark. Then there was the web-based bookmark. Now HYPERiGO wants to go one step further with an online bookmarking site that includes site screenshots and an attractive, easy to navigate interface.

Overall, it reminds us of the speed dial feature in the Opera web browser. But HYPERiGO isn't confined to a single web browser. You can access the site from any browser using any operating system.

When you first visit the site, you can view a demo version with a bunch of preselected bookmarks in categories like tech, online, email, news, and music. If you sign up for an account you can select your own sites for each category.

Our only complaint is that the site is a little sluggish. That's true when it comes to adding new bookmarks, or general site navigation. Hopefully this is something the developers will address soon because we love the idea, but it's a bit painful to use at the moment.

Another good speed dial page is only2clicks http://only2clicks.com/index.php
I've had this set as my home page for a few weeks now, and I find it extremely useful. It too is easy to navigate, you can upload your own photos, of they will determine a picture for your bookmarks, add tabs easily and stuff.

While some may prefer drag-and-drop and other "cool" functionalities, I would opt for a simpler, straightforward and easy-to-use websites. Web 2.0 or otherwise, it doesn't really matter to me, as long as the site faithfully deliver what it meant to do. Web 2.0 features neither matter to me nor it fascinate me. I did not really expect much from this "hyper" site and neither its features stand to its name. There's no "hyper" features but pretty plain features which any idiot, oops i mean non-IT savvy can use in just a couple of minutes. It's pretty useful, so I guess I'll stick to this site. Oh, by the way, I did not give 5 stars 'cos I think there's room for improvement for Hyperigo, not that it's not serving its purpose ;)

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
