You feared it, and now its here. Google Ads on mobiles. Google's new mobile ads are shortened versions of AdWords that will appear when users search from Google on mobile devices. The users then have the option of connection to an advertiser's business phone after clicking on the ad. The mobile ads will be limited to 12 or 18 characters per line depending on the language used, and the destination URL will appear on the third line. Currently, Google Mobile Ads are only available in the US, UK, Japan, and Germany. Only drawbacks for advertisers, no tracking ability, and they are only available to be bought by advertisers with a billing address in Japan.Filed under: Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm, Web services
WAMPAD's tagline is "Your Internet Speed Dial." Essentially it's a home page for your mobile browser, giving you quick access to a number of different sites and services from one place. Rather than "widgets" WAMPAD's different services, like Flickr, del.icio.us, MySpace, Wikipedia, movies, horoscopes, etc., are displayed with a single search box and a drop-down menu to choose what service you want to query, and you can customize which options are presented. The lack of true customization may turn off some users, but its simplicity may appeal to others. Notably missing is any RSS feed functionality, but if you're after something more complex there's always Google Mobile.
After 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.
