Evri.com: Zeitgeist for news

Evri
Every year Google releases a zeitgeist, a list of everything that is popular on the web based on their search data. But what if once a year just isn't enough for you? Then you turn to Evri.

Evri is a site currently in beta that uses news sources on the web to chart the popularity of different subjects in the categories of People, Places and Things. Clicking on the individual circles in the flow chart opens up a list of news articles in which they appear. Using Evri.com is certainly one way to keep up to date on whats hot and what's not.

SingleStat.us: Be notified when your MySpace crush is single

SingleStat.usHave you ever spent all night refreshing that special someone's MySpace profile over and over again just waiting for for their relationship status to change to "Single" and thought, "there's got to be a better way"? Okay, um... me neither. But say you had a friend who did that. You could tell your friend to check out SingleStat.us, which will watch their stalkee's special someone's profile and e-mail them as soon as their status switches to Single. You can use SingleStat.us for free if you plug the service on your MySpace profile, or if plugs aren't your thing you can pay a one-time fee of $3.95. Incidentally, SingleStat.us was built by PB Wiki CEO David Weekly in three days for this weekend's SuperHappyDevHouse coding competition.

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.
