Stixy - fun and EZ collaboration tool
Stixy, just out of private beta, is yet another online collaboration tool where you can create virtual bulletin boards online, share with your friends as co-collaborators or just have them view. Stixy allows users to create tasks, appointments, files, photos, notes, and bookmarks on their Stixyboards.
The beauty of Stixy is that it is super easy to get started and its interface is clean, fun and appealing. You can get a Stixyboard up and running in about um - two minutes. It has the same appeal as Mixbook, although Mixbook is an online photo album, whereas Stixy adds other features like sticky notes, documents, to do list and agenda.
Online collaboration tools run the gamut in price, features, and complexity. If you're looking for something that's so simple you can start using it immediately, Stixy would be an excellent choice. If on the other hand, you want to access your own calendar, rather than create one on Stixy, and you want your friends/colleagues to be able to edit documents online, (Stixy does not offer a web-based word processor) then you probably need a different, more robust application.
Stixy, with offices in San Francisco and Sweden, was founded by Jonas Höglund and Anders Ottoson.

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 ...
