ShoeTube.tv - Video portal for shoes
As new sites that cater to the fetishes of fanboys and girls alike continue to spawn from the depths of Dante's Inferno, it was only a matter of time until one about shoes emerged. ShoeTube.tv is the name of this incarnation, and it's promising to deliver almost as many goodies about shoes as there are desserts at your local buffet.Proclaiming itself the "most exciting thing to happen to shoes since Carrie found those coveted Manolo Blahniks in the closet at Vogue," it should be obvious how magnificent this site is going to be. The primary draw will be its broadcast quality programming, with just a dash of user and sponsor created content. Considering that the site is produced by Powderhouse, which is behind a number of shows for the likes of Discovery Channel and TLC, the production quality of the content may be a cut above average (you can have a preview of the content at their Shoetube.tv Media Kit).
Unfortunately, the plans for user created content do seem like a bit of an afterthought. But, if people are into making videos about their shoes and themselves, this feature might work out just fine. Then again, most sites about shoes are about either about buying or some sort of how-to, so a "shoe channel" might be an interesting twist.
The site is slated to launch in February 2008, with a slew of professionally penned blogs, editorials on shoe trends, and "tons of other community features." And since we love nothing more than community features, we can't wait to see how ShoeTube.tv does them.

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 ...
