Countdown to Black Friday: Cheap Amazon Deals!

Amazon’s Black Friday Countdown – Oh you lucky, lucky consumers. We all love a good deal, and Black Friday is the greatest deal day of them all.  And basking in its status as “Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company”, it holds a whole WEEK of deals, starting the Monday of Black Friday. And to get us all pumped up and ready, it’s launched a countdown to its week of awesome deals.

I for one literally can’t wait. I’m sitting with my credit card poised at my screen right now… I’m considering whether to spend my birthday money (from the past three years…) on a shiny new iPad. Where better to visualise all my favourite websites on my All My Faves Homepage!? What do you guys want to get a great deal on? Comment, tweet us, let us know!

Zaarly – Buy and Sell with People Around You

Zaarly helps you buy and sell things with people who live in your local community. From what I’ve seen of it, it allows you to request services or goods from people living near you, and how much you’re willing to pay to get them. And it also allows you to advertise yourself as the goods or services provider, so you can earn some extra cash too.

It seems like a good idea, but depends on how many people in your area pick up the service. If you agree, I suggest signing up and getting started; you could rise to the top of the local rankings in no time! Watch the really, really.. really… happy lady in Zaarly’s introduction video below to see just how you can use Zaarly.

Kicksend – Easy Real-Time File Sharing

Kicksend lets you send files of any size to any friend or email. It will also download and organize your files. Sounds simple enough, and well, that’s Kicksend’s mission: to make the act of sharing and receiving files extremely simple and effortless. You’ll have to download their desktop application first, but once you’ve got past that mini milestone, the filesharing fun should begin instantly!

The big question of course is whether it can replace whatever program you already use to send files to your friends. I normally just use Skype for that kind of thing, but if you’re wanting to transfer a large amount of files, like photos, videos etc, then this might be a good solution for you.

TwoSides – An exciting Internet Debating Platform

TwoSides is a great concept: A social debating platform. You see views from every side of an issue and compare viewpoints with others. It’s a concept for a new world, where people are more informed, open-minded, and tolerant. And the good news is, it works really beautifully. I’ve been busy reading a number of surprisingly mature arguments on some rather contentious issues on there, and I also enjoy wading in with my two cents every now and again as well.

My only concern for the site is that it really has to be moderated very carefully, especially when it becomes more widely used (which I think it really should be, because it’s brilliant!). I would worry that more extreme viewpoints would be given their head, and that debates turn into hate-filled dramas. However, maybe that’s another debate for the site’s users to give their input to!

Be sure to check out TwoSides’ awesome feature on the 2012 US Presidential Elections while you’re looking around too: It allows you to compare candidates to see whose views you most coincide with!

Baby Arthur Recreates Scenes from Classic Movies

StudioArthur – And now time for a bit of British humour for you. A funny mummy in the UK has been passing the time at home with her baby, Arthur, by taking photos of him in (surprisingly accurate) recreations of famous movies. It speaks for itself really, and it’s so cute. Arthur already appears to be going viral, and so All My Faves has jumped on the proverbial bandwagon to bring you more of the best of the web 🙂

Rambo Arthur’s probably my favourite one, but there’s loads more to find. Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Pursuit of Hat – Pick Off Limbs

Pursuit of Hat – Here’s a great game for you to try. It’s a sweet platform puzzle game. You control a strange little creature that’s lost its hat. Help it get its hat back by adventuring across various obstacles. Don’t be afraid to pick off limbs to reach your goal!

The Eatery – Stop Counting Calories, Start Eating Better

The Eatery – Massive Health have released a new app that helps you eat better without  having to waste time obsessing over calorie counting! You use The Eatery to snap photos of your food. The app will then provide a big-picture breakdown of your habits, including your strengths, weaknesses, and the best places to start making a change.

It really is clever, and also very nicely presented too, which is always a big plus for us. This is also the kind of site that we feature in our Recipes Faves page. Check it too, it’s essential for any foodie among us!

Coffee & Power – Get Your Small Jobs Done by Someone Else!

Coffee & Power – So I was leaving the AllMyFaves Towers the other day, after a hard day’s work discovering the internet for all you lucky readers, but instead of feeling relieved that I could go home and relax, I just felt stressed! Stressed that I had a million and one small jobs to do before I could sit with my hot chocolate in front of the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. Today, however, those of you who feel the same way can rejoice:

Coffee & Power is an online marketplace where people can literally sell their small jobs – from errands/deliveries; expertise on tap; teaching and coaching; to software building – for a small amount of money to other users! And if you fancy making some extra cash, you can use Coffee & Power to do small jobs too.
