Evite threatens to sue Socializr

Evite v SocializrIs there room in this town for two event planning/invitation web service (this town being you know, the whole world)? Evite owners Ticketmaster seem to think there's not. They've sent a letter to Socialzr threatening legal action over similar invitation templates and web design.

At issue are Socializr's "Holiday," and "Hawaii Luau" invitation styles, which Evite says are identical to templates on its own site. The two styles have been removed from Socializr's site, but "Winter Celebration," which Evite claims is similar to a design on its site remains.

To be honest, the Winter Celebration designs look pretty different. Sure they're both blue and white and have snowflakes. But what do you expect for a winter theme? And if you look closely, you'll see that the snowflakes on each design look different. See, it's true. No two snowflakes are the same. Unless you send the same invitation twice.

Apple and Ticketmaster team up to save you 99 cents

TicketmasterTicketmaster and Apple are planning a new promotion that allows you to download a free song from iTunes for every concert ticket you buy from Ticketmaster's web site. And in some situations, purchasing a complete album on iTunes will give you a chance to buy concert tickets before Ticketmaster sells them to the rest of the world.

Of course, with Ticketmaster fees being as high as they are, this doesn't really strike me as much of a bargain. Sure, you can save the 99 cents it would cost to download a track of your choice. But If I have to pay a $6.45 "convenience charge" on a $38 ticket, a free song isn't going to make me like Ticketmaster any better. I'll probably just stick to picking up my concert tickets at the box office window whenever I can. I can buy a full album with the money I'd save on two tickets.

Sushi Cat is an adorable, full-bellied Time Waster

Sushi Cat is one of the cutest Flash games I've ever run across. You play a blue cat with a major talent for eating and, fortunately for you, every level is filled with delicious sushi! The controls are simple: you aim and drop from the top of the screen using the mouse, trying to hit as much sushi as you can on the way down. Eat enough sushi, and you can go on to the next level. Your score depends on how much sushi you eat, and which bucket the cat lands in when it finally reaches the bottom of the screen. The more ...
