JibJab is the leader in customizable eCards.
Customizable eCards allow you to insert your own images (generally head shots) into quirky, parody style animations. Then you can share them via email, Facebook and even embed them into your website if you like.
JibJab’s latest is a parody on Madmen, the hit show from AMC.
If you head on over to the Madmen official site, you can create your own Madmen avatar and then download various size images of your creation for use anywhere images can be placed. (including a full size desktop wallpaper) Just look for the Madmen Yourself link near the bottom of the page. Or go directly there. madmenyourself.com
Here is my madmenyourself creation
July 6th, 2010 by Derek Anderson No comments » If your Facebook profile was a holiday destination, what would it be?
Ever wondered what your Facebook profile would be if it was a holiday destination?
Find out with the Holiday Match Maker from Halifax.
The Holiday Match Maker from Halifax. It’s one of those rare things, a Facebook application that is genuinely useful and entertaining at the same time. It’s also pretty clever. By analysing the content of your profile, it will ’calculate’ what your ideal holiday destination is, where you should stay, what you should do, what the weather’s like at the moment and how many plastic Eiffel Towers you can buy for a fiver. Now it doesn’t get much more useful than that. Oh, and it will also point you in the direction of Halifax Travel Money, something you might find handy when going on holiday.

LG Electronics has announced plans to introduce an Android-powered tablet computer sometime in Q4 this year, although the South Korean firm did not reveal additional details that most people would clamor for – we’re talking about the price as well as markets in which the device will be released.
(no images of tablet device available)
LG also announces new Android handsets.
The LG phone lineup will soon have a trio of new Android devices. Leading the group is the Optimus Z (below)
…also included are the the Optimus One, a just-launched entry-level model, and the Optimus Chic, a youth-oriented model. Android 2.2 should be present on these and the earlier Optimus Q (Ally on Verizon) by the end of the year.

Zingaya is a new service that allows you to place a ‘Call’ button on your website. With this ‘Call’ button, visitors can call you and get more personalized service.
Zingaya offers a free version that allows you to have one phone number connected to your ‘Call’ button.
Zingaya also is able to integrate with your Skype account.
Zingaya is a web service that provides a new voice communication channel. A widget that can be easily embedded into any web page allows the site visitors to call you with one click. Calls are forwarded to pre-set fixed/mobile numbers, Skype or SIP. The visitors don’t need to have a phone for conversation, the only thing required is a microphone.
Check out Zingaya today.
Edit:
Zingaya launched on Tuesday June 29th
After intensive development we are ready to launch Zingaya. We believe that Zingaya will bring new communication experience in web. We call our approach “webified communications”. Put the button on your web page to allow visitors call you in one click without any downloads or installations. Callback services are in the past, because they haven’t ever offered good experience and required companies to pay 2xprice for the calls. You can check it right now by yourself – sign up for free. You can see Zingaya’s call button below, it calls to Zingaya echo test service, but you can set your button to call any landline/mobile phone or even to VoIP systems using SIP protocol:
June 30th, 2010 by Derek Anderson No comments » awrapforthat.com unveils a 3M Vinyl based ‘Wrap” for the iPhone 4 claiming to ‘Eliminate reception woes with this easy to apply vinyl skin’.
Does it work? won’t know until you give it a try. Luckily, they’re only $9.99

Samsung Vibrant may cost $330 off contract. from phandroid.com
You don’t need to be a calculus whiz to piece together the 4 payments of $82.50 seen in the fine print:
†On approved credit. $82.50 down payment, plus 3 monthly payments of $82.50, required. 0% APR. Taxes & fees additional. Available only at T-Mobile-owned retail stores; see store for details.
We got numerous tips that T-Mobile left this bit on the page and in some cases sent the price live a bit more prominently before quickly pulling it. Now if Verizon, Sprint and AT&T would do us a solid and follow suit on some prices and dates, it would make comparing the various Galaxies an easier task.

Apparently when the Samsung Fascinate was announced, there was no official image of the device. So this seems to be the only one in existence as of now.
