Sharing stuff through Google

google shared stuff

A new social bookmaking and sharing service has recently had a low profile launch over at Google. Google Shared Stuff. Simply drop a bookmarklet on your browser bar, and click 'Share' when you want to share something that you have come across online. The shared items will then appear on your own unique shared stuff page with descriptions and tags that you associate with the bookmarks.

But that's just one of the options, through Google Shared Stuff not only can you share it on a webpage, but you can choose to email the page to someone else, or share the page through Facebook, Furl, del.icio.us, Social Poster, Reddit or Digg.

Shared Stuff will be accessible when users are logged into their Google account and visit this link. Full link pages can also be shared amongst friends.

UPDATE: You can also check out shared stuff from people you know.

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.
