MidomiMidomi – You so happen to hear a song on the radio that conquers your soul and you hum it to yourself all day. However, you have no idea who is the performer, nor do you remember the lyrics. So you hum it to your friends in the hopes of salvation but no one gets you. Does this frustrating feeling seem familiar? Well no more heartaches – Midomi offers the ultimate solution: hum into your microphone and Midomi will search and hopefully locate your groovy track. The database is quite impressive, I found many songs by humming, like: Jolene – Doly Parton, Hello – Lionel Richie. On the other hand, I failed to find Rise Up – Yves La Rock.

BeFunkyBeFunky – BeFunky is made up of two creative and swanky applications – Cartoonizer and Uvatar. With the cartoonizer option, you upload your choice of ready-made sexy pics or alternately, snapshot yourself on the spot and create a sketched or colored cartoon of your sensual self. Uvatar is a different story; you can bring to life a custom-made avatar cartoon of your mirror reflection (for 4.99$) , a downright illustrated representation of you. The site offers an enhanced customization of your Uvatar by manipulating visual features such as clothes, accessories, hairstyles, scenes and more. The site is very user friendly, which makes creating cartoons or Uvatars of one’s own yours truly very simple.

BigNewsBigNews – It was just a matter of time before ASK would join Yahoo News and Google News in aggregating news. The headlines provided by all aggregators are more or less the same, but they differ in their UI. News is usually presented by a rather restricted and monotone interface. ASK has decided to take it to the next, more upbeat step – they upgraded news to a cool web 2.0 experience. I loved their Digg section- Be the First to “Digg” a story using a unique Digg module that identifies the most interesting stories with no “Digg” counts yet.

carded.tvCarded.tvSaint Valentine died 1,700 years ago. And today, we’re still sending Valentine cards. No more cards for me; only e-cards.
