Ning.com - Your own social network!
Do you have enough of Facebook and MySpace? Hatebook.org ain't your style either?
Absolutely no problem. Distance yourself from the mass consumers and start your own social network on Ning.com!
The creation process is so easy anyone can have a decent looking network going in minutes. A few basic selection as to appearance, if you want this to be an open or closed network, a selection of the features you want to provide for your users and you are ready to launch it.
If you aren't happy with your choices you can also delete the whole network and start over again. You can also own several networks at the same time, e.g. one for your family and one for your friends and colleagues.
For the slightly more advanced network creator: You can also directly change the CSS, so you essentially have a lot of freedom when it comes to layout.
So what features does Ning.com include?
Basically most of what Facebook and MySpace have to offer is available on Ning.com, too.
Features include uploads of photos (yes, another place to brag with your vacation albums), music, videos (you can also link to YouTube or any of the other major online video sites).
You also get a Blog, which is pretty much a clone of the MySpace blog, a forum... and for those who come to Ning.com pampered by Facebook, there are gadgets. Not as many as on FB, but already quite a lot of them.
So, after a few minutes - and adding an extra quickly made logo I did with GIMP - my social network was ready for the first guests and I invited a few friends to have a look and give me some feedback on what they think about Ning.com.

The Golden Compass
Waiting for the movie I already found my daemon... Well, it's the second demon, the first one got lost in mail, had a cooler name and was of the same species...
It kind of proves a point: This is easy to program but will keep people interested.
Some output enriches every site!
It's also fun, so go there find your daemon!

This guy really should write a book! Only, he already has done that in a bloggin way the last 5 or so years!
If you were a computer geek back in the glorious 80s, dadhacker.com will show you some behind the scenes articles you'll love. (Specifially on Atari and Apple...).
If you are a programmer: Learn that you're not the only one going through a hell of pain with your usual marketing types.
What more to say? Enjoy!

howitshouldhaveended.com
How it should have ended - or HISHE for short - provides exactly what its name suggests:
Hilariously funny alternative endings for Hollywood flics captured in animations so great, I nearly fell of my chair.
Seven, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings...
I'll stop here, go have a look for yourself. I for sure will keep an eye on that site.
