Virtual Office 2.0

Web 2.0, it's a catch phrase we have heard over and over again and we have seen a number of online sites utilizing this new technology. Ajax coded websites are popping up all over the place, and we are seeing the traditional desktop applications go web based. Will these sites ever replace your traditional office, not sure, but they provide a nice resource for anyone on the go, and for people who telecommute. We no longer have to worry which computer our favorite bookmarks are on, if we have office installed on our laptop or not, nor do we need the latest version of Photoshop for quick simple image editing on the fly.

Compare Cellphone Plans

All of us have cellphones these days, but many of us are not sure how to get the best deal based on our usage. Depending on how much you use your phone the rates can vary drastically from vendor to vendor. They are often confusing and lock us into a high monthly payment. Here is a great website that allows you to look at various cell phone plans and compare them based on your zipcode and what type of plan you are looking for. You have three plan comparison choices: single plans, family plans, and or prepaid. The nifty plan calculator can help you decide on a carrier and plan structure.

Safe Surfing For The KIDDIES

Being a parent I worry allot about the content my child sees online, and although being a technological savy parent I have the appropriate tools in place to make sure pop-up ads of Swedish lesbians twins doesn't come up when he types in spongebob, I still could use any help I can get. Well to aid me in my quest is a great website called Zoo.com. Zoo.com is a child-friendly search engine that filters out sexually explicit material.

The site is designed for kids ages 8-13 and pulls search results from the likes of Google and Wikipedia, and news from ABC, Fox, and Yahoo. but has no image-search capability, so it weeds out "adult" words while retaining suitable results.

For example: (A child using the search term "breast cancer" will get plenty of information, but the word "breast" delivers no results.)

2Prong is an anonymous registration website that allows you to keep your email address safe and hidden from the spam mongers of the net. It is great for all those websites that make you register to get something, and then whore your email address out to various vendors so that they can fill your inbox with unwanted crap like "Refinance Your Home" or "Get Viagra Now" ;) Before you check out the site, be sure to purge your clipboard of anything important; 2 Prong copies the automatically-generated email address to your clipboard when you visit the site.
