MyThings, tell a story and get an estimate on your stuff

mythings, tell a story and get an estimate on your stuffDo you have some things that you would like to tell a story about and connect with people who have the same interests? Maybe even get an estimate of their worth? This is what MyThings brings to the table.

Carrying such items as consumer electronics, furniture, collections, or collectibles, MyThings encourages professionals to communicate with owners of the goods in question, giving the item an estimate of worth.

The site is great if you want to get a quick estimate on an item from a community setting. Is it just us, or does everyone think that social networks might be getting a little out of control?

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
