Download Squad's Invite-a-Palooza: Day 9

Several readers have written in to request that we contact Streamy for our our Invite-a-Palooza series. Well, folks, today's your day. There seems to be a groundswell of attention forming around this new Web site that wants to give us a new way to tackle our overload of RSS feeds, social networks, instant messengers and bookmarks.

Since we last wrote about Streamy, the developers have thrown in some new features that make it look even cooler than the first time we looked. Now users can compile all their comments, notes, and saved stories into a single stream. They've also applied the same idea to the Friends page, which keeps track of your social networks.

Intrigued? Want to check it out? Just be one of the first 25 people to leave us a note in the comment section (be sure to activate it if you get an email confirmation). Winners will receive their invitations early next week after Streamy's new system upgrade is complete.


UPDATE: We've given away all 25 invitations for today's featured site but check back tomorrow to see who's up next!

Streamy wants to be your one stop shop for news, community, and chat

Ever wish you could chuck out your RSS reader, instant messenger, bookmarks, and network of social networks? Streamy wants to replace all of those services with a single web page.



Streamy's in private beta right now, but it looks promising. It doesn't require you and all of your friends to sign up for a totally new service. Rather, like Meebo, it lets you communicate with friends using services like AOL Instant Messenger without leaving the web site.

But unless there's some pretty amazing keyboard shortcuts in there, it looks like Streamy requires a lot of mouse-work to read your news, which would make it much slower to navigate than Google Reader.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
