What it does

Since Twitter became the most popular thing since Jesus, advertisers have been trying to find a way to showcase their products on the micro-blogging giant. If you want to start making some money using advertisers’ funds, then you should check out Twittad.com. Through this site, you’ll be able to post your account for advertisers to offer you money for placing ads through it. This will allow you to get some money from your obsessive usage of Twitter. On the site you’ll find information on how exactly the service works. It appears that you get paid for every hour you host the ad. This could be a double-edged sword. You’ll probably just start using Twitter more just to host an ad longer and make more money. Undoubtedly, this is great news for people who only get off of Twitter to sleep, as they’ll be able to monetize their Twits.

In their own words

“Let your ads meet Tweets.”

Why it might be a killer

This is great. Finally someone found a way to advertise on Twitter without having to spam.

Some questions

Will Twitter control this as spam? How much money does a Twitter user stand to make from this?

In their own words

The way you can watch videos on this site is amazing. The UI makes sharing them with your friends simple and fun.

Some questions

Isn’t this too much of a hassle to watch videos through? Will people take to creating a new account just to share videos when they can do that through other means?

What it does

Isn’t it too hard to keep up with the many new sites that launch everyday? With each new site, you have to create a new identity (with a username and password) to get the most out of it. If you’re tired of this, and you need help remembering all your different passwords, you should check out Mashedlife.com. With this free service, you’ll be able to quickly manage all your different passwords, making it possible for you to keep up with all your different online identities. The service claims to be secure, so you don’t have to worry about it revealing your passwords to anyone. The site works by you installing a toolbar. With this, you’ll be able to click on the log in button every time you’re on a site. For instance: the toolbar will know you’re on the Facebook homepage. Just click on the button and it will log you in with the appropriate username and password.

In their own words

“Mashed life is a a true web-based secure password management service, free & incredibly simple.”

Why it might be a killer

This is a great idea. It makes it so easy to log into a page, that you’ll find yourself constantly using it.

Some questions

Is this really secure for a public computer? Don’t most people use similar usernames and passwords for their accounts?

What it does

I, for one, hate dating sites. The constant having to browse through profiles to find the perfect match is both useless and boring. If you’re looking for your soul mate online, you should check out Psismic.com. This site will match you with people you are most likely to like, taking into account your likes and dislikes. This “smart” date matching system should appeal to anyone who’s lost faith on the online dating system. Just post things you like, and the site will match you with people with similar tastes. You’ll be able to see their picture, and they’ll se yours. If you both approve, you’ll have more access to their contact information, making it possible for you to meet a possible love interest through this site. Most of the site’s features are free, but if you want to actually meet people, you’ll have to shell out the premium fee. It’s not that expensive, and if you do find your soul mate, you’ll be glad you did it.

In their own words

“Psismic is a new twist on online dating. We match you with people based on your changing interests and the things you find interesting in others.”

Why it might be a killer

Lonely people love this stuff. If you must find love through the internet, this is the place to go.

Some questions

Will people pay for someone else’s information? Are there enough people willing to pay to make this a successful business?

Why it might be a killer

This is a very useful search site. Finally, we can find t-shirts to suit all our needs.

Some questions

Do many people like funny t-shirts? Can’t you search for them through Google?

What it does

There are some really awesome t-shirts out there. If you’re tired of having to search for them in each individual site, you should check out Pleasedress.me. This site is a search engine for t-shirts. This might sound off at first, but the site is really useful. Just type in the key words that describe your dream t-shirt and you’ll instantly get matches.

“We owe it to the remaining members of humanity, staring into the abyss, to carry forth the torch of civilization against this cruelest of odds. We owe it to the memory of mankind’s triumphs over adversity and to the unwavering spirit of freedom–we owe it to Frank West–to continue to play video games and produce quality video game reviews in this, this darkest of hours.”

Why it might be a killer

Besides being greatly informative, this site is really fun. Videogamers should check it out and learn all they can about their favorite games.

What it does

If you’ve lost faith in the current state of videogames, don’t fret. Over at Gamezombie.tv you’ll be able to find reviews for games that are worth playing, no Olsen twins videogames reviews here.

What it does

In the good old days, there used to be a foolproof way of making sure someone got a job: you recommended them.

RPO firms will find this site useful. By seeing if someone is recommended by a good former employer, companies will be able to quickly find the person they’ll need for the position they’re looking to fill.

Some questions

Is this a good way to find employees? Will people like this kind of way to hire employees?

“Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.”

Why it might be a killer

Why wouldn’t this be popular? It’s Google’s browser. Some would say it’s the final piece of the puzzle in assuring Google’s internet hegemony.

What it does

It was the logical next step in assuring Google’s dominance of the internet. Google has launched its Chrome web browser, and it delivers. The interface flows smoothly and the pages load quickly. It takes the best from both Firefox and IE and meshes them into a seamless interface that will cater to everyone. The lightweight browser lets you preview pages, get search suggestions when you enter an address, and create shortcuts to your favorite web applications. It’s amazing to see how well it works for a beta version. It’s evident that Google has been waiting to launch this product until it was ready, and since Microsoft recently launched a new version of Internet Explorer, the time is just right. Like everything Google does, the browser is simple and minimalistic. While this might not appeal to the heavy web user, average users will think highly of this. You can preview the most visited websites in thumbnail format, allowing for quick and easy access.

Some questions

Will they update soon? Will it have add-ons, like Firefox?

What it does

If you’re like most people out there, by the time you end updating all your social networking accounts, half your day is gone. If you’re trying to avoid this, then you should try out Ping.fm. This service (that just launched into public beta), will allow you to take care of updating all your social profiles in one go. Just update your status through one of the many ways the site lets you, and they’ll make sure all your accounts are updated. This makes a task that could have taken you up to an hour be done in as quickly as a couple of minutes. The number of applications and sites that they cover is truly amazing. If you don’t find the social networks you are using on this site, then you’re using some obscure site on the net that no one knows about. I’m finding it hard to put into words how useful this service is. There is no reason why anyone shouldn’t be using this as the only way to update their status.

In their own words

“Use AIM, GTalk, iGoogle, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, WAP, iPhone/iPod Touch, SMS or E-mail and let Ping.fm relay your message to a multitude of social networking sites.”

Why it might be a killer

This makes perfect sense. It turns the hectic task of updating into a simple thing you can do through our phone.

Some questions

Why didn’t they think of this earlier? Will they support more networks in the future?

“Add professional subtitles and voiceovers in any language. Extend your web video reach to millions of additional viewers”

Why it might be a killer

This is a great idea. If it’s as easy as they make it sound, it could turn into a very lucrative business.

What it does

Wouldn’t you like to have subtitles in your online videos? Besides being useful, these will allow you to reach a much wider audience. If you think this is good, then you should check out Subply.com. On this site, you’ll be able to find a service that will allow you to add subtitles to all your online videos. Once you hire the service, all you have to do is follow the easy steps and you’ll have subtitles on your videos in no time. You can ask for subtitles in more than one language. Their professional translators will do their best to have your videos presented with subtitles promptly, making it easy for your videos to appeal to a larger audience. If you currently use other systems to add subtitles to your videos, you’ll find this to be the simplest alternative to providing your viewers with accurate subtitles.

Some questions

How much does translating the videos cost? How long does it take?

This might convince some that voting for McCain is the right step towards a better America. To start networking with people who support your candidate, check out Community.mccainspace.com.

In their own words

“Introduce yourself and start talking about John McCain.”

Why it might be a killer

Republicans are sure to love this place. They can meet people who think like them and discuss politics, all in the same place.

Some questions

What will happen to this after the elections? Will people still care? Could it become a place for people to judge McCain’s presidency (if he’s elected)?

What it does

Anyone with a website knows that having a place to upload your pictures and then directly link to them is a lifesaver. If you need this type of thing, then you should check out Imgpict.com. Through this site, you’ll be able to quickly upload pictures and then get a link through which you’ll be able to see them. There is a 1mb file limit. While this might bother some users, that’s enough for most of us. If you want to, you can make your images private, so only those you want to can see them. If you want to check out what others have uploaded to the site, you can browse through the Gallery section. This will let you see what other people are sharing with their friends through their sites or blog. The aforementioned privacy setting will make it so that your pictures don’t show up in the gallery. In short, this site is an easy and quick solution to the image hosting problem.

In their own words

“best free image hosting.”

Why it might be a killer

There are thousands of sites like this. While this one doesn’t particularly stand out, the privacy feature should appeal to some.

Some questions

Why choose this one? Is the privacy thing really necessary if you’re uploading pictures on the internet?

Yesterday, we reviewed a site that would let you learn how to say things in other languages. Over at Yappr.com, you’ll find the exact opposite. Through this site, you’ll be able to learn English quickly. This should appeal to people who are travelling to the US (or any other English speaking country) and want to have a better experience. The site is an online community of English learners, through which you’ll be able to watch videos, meet people, and most importantly: learn English. There are many educational videos. Besides being highly instructive, they’ll allow you to pick up the vocabulary you’ll need to become a better English speaker. The site can be viewed in over 10 languages, so the odds are that you’ll find your mother tongue amongst them. Everyone seems to agree that the best way to learn a language is completely immersing yourself in it. This site will allow you to meet new English speakers, so you can practice your English together.

In their own words

“yappr.com… where millions of English learners throughout the world are improving their English by meeting and helping each other, watching great videos, playing fun games and so much more-“

Why it might be a killer

Learning English has never been this fun. This site takes the best from social networking to make up for a complete English learning experience.

Some questions

Is the system that effective? Do people use this to learn English or interact with others?

With the site, you’ll be able to search for other sites and find information on how much traffic they’re getting, how socially popular they are, and what the most popular pages within it are. The site takes information from other sites, like Alexa, to present people with the information they’re looking for. While there are many sites that offer something similar to this, this one stands out by offering more information. The ability to see how many people made the site their favorite on Digg or Del.iciou.us allows to measure how popular a site is. The more popular a site is, the information on it is updated more often. Over all, if you need to know more about your site (or the competition), you should check out Quarkbase.com.

“Quarkbase is a free tool to find complete information about a website. It is a mashup of over 30 data sources and many algorithms gathering information from Internet on various topics like social popularity, traffic, associated people, etc.”
