Cyber Monday, or should I say Cyber Week deals are still alive and kicking at every major online retailer store, some even lasting until Saturday, Dec 4 (see Amazon for example). Even if you have already found the perfect gifts for all the people you care about, what about you? We are curious to know what’s on your wishlist? If you can’t find it on our Holidays page, let us know what we’re missing – post it on our Facebook fan page wall!
Kickstarter – Claiming to be “the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world,” Kickstarter is all about joining hands for good causes. It’s the perfect place for autonomously run pledges “to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.”
Kickstarter seems like the perfect venue for project funding thanks to its zero exploitation policy. That is why each funding goal must be reached within the set deadline to avoid scams and abuses.
So what kind of project do people use Kickstarter for? Think of it as a small portion investment center for tiny yet promising startups. See the TikTok + LunaTik Multi-Touch project as an example, and the project’s video is embedded below.
Do you have a creative project you need genuine funding for? Start your own Kickstarter project page and see the money roll in!

Groupon – Group discount shopping sites are still relatively new but they’re growing fast, and for a good reason: they deliver hot deals that are totally worth it. Groupon is by far one of the very best group-based deal provider currently on the Web, offering large discounts on luxurious products, services and activities. As Groupon explains, it “negotiates huge discounts on popular local goods, services and cultural events. Then we offer the deals to thousands of subscribers in a free daily email.” What deals will you find here? Half priced spa sessions, discounted hotel reservations, even orchestra tickets. Simply search for your state or country, provide your email address and you’re good to go.
The only catch for scoring those hot deals is that there must be a minimum number of on-site users who actually go through with the purchase (hence the ‘group’ of Groupon), and there’s a time limit for the daily deal. The way I see it, there’s noting for you to lose; you sign up for free, get daily updates on new deals (as low as 50%, even 70% off), let all your friends know of this great opportunity, and then proceed to discounted goodness. You’re not obligated to do anything you don’t want to. Here is an example of recent deals on Groupon.
JibJab e-Cards – Even if Halloween is over, JibJab makes the holiday spirit linger on with lots of humor, ingenuity and a great deal of fun. Experts of the funny “Starring You” videos and photos, JibJab outdid themselves this year, with numerous Halloween e-Cards including your special appearance you can share with friends and family – all funny as hell.
Although the JibJab Sendables are perfect for the dress up holiday of Halloween, JibJab is perfect for sending funny e-Cards for practically any occasion; birthdays, graduation, anniversaries, thank you cards, you name it. Simply pick your favorite photo or video e-card starring you, and start making people laugh. The photo below is my customization of JibJab’s Pooch of Darkenss e-Card using the head photo of my favorite four-legged furry friend.
Mixergy – Created by the business master Andrew Warner, Mixergy is here to inspire ambitious entrepreneurs by providing a startup hub that is well-saturated with insightful and inspiring input of “experienced mentors.” Andrew’s huge business success -during his 20s- and experience inspired him to establish an easily accessible place that introduces you “to doers and thinkers whose ideas and stories are so powerful that just hearing them will change you.”
By holding live speaker events and including online interviews with big entrepreneur names such as Timothy Ferris, Gary Vaynerchuck, Paul Graham and Jimmy Wales, the bubbly Mixergy is all about sharing ideas, success stories and entrepreneurial how-to’s.
For an example of the fascinating content you will find on Mixergy, see the inspiring conversation in the online interview of Intern Queen’s Lauren Berger, talking about how to reach 100+ press hits.
The Hot Word – Dictionary.com, the Web’s most widely used reference, dictionary and thesaurus source, has recently created a fun extension; the Hot Word. Taking terms from current affairs and relevant news stories, the Hot Word is here to simplify complicated words while adding in a little bit of context and interest.
To show you the Hot Word in action, let’s take the recent ‘bigot’ remarks that cost CNN’s Rick Sanchez his job; the Hot Word dives deep into the term “bigot” and not only gives its definition, but also provides a brief etymological account of the word’s origin and history. For another example, see why bankruptcy is often referred to as Chapter 11.
