Traackr: gauge your popularity across social sites

Traackr
Traackr is a free web service that lets you aggregate data about your media presence on the Web. Just create an account, add your "subscriptions" (flickr username, last.fm username, etc.), and wait about 24 hours for Traackr to get statistics.

Each day Traackr will get information like number of views, comments, and ratings, with trend graphs to make the data pretty. It will also show you which of your tags get the most views (helpful for getting user attention). You can also create campaigns to track how well certain media objects are "performing" which could be very useful for a photographer to see how popular certain groups of photos are.

Traackr could be a great tool for musicians, photographers, videographers, and the ego-centric social-site user. It's a central location to see how popular you (or your work) are, and it gives you seemingly arbitrary "Buzz" and "Populartity" scores.

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.
