Bloggeries - A synonym for "Blog Posts". Sounds cool? Yeah, maybe. Just learnt about the word at the forums of the site called "Bloggeries". But that aint the main reason why I am talking about it. The owner at Bloggeries is giving away a free IPod Nano. Sounds cool? Hell ...

OMY.sg recently hosted the first ever (more hyped up I guess and bigger scaled to be called the first) Singapore Blog Awards. A competition for Singaporean based blogs I guess. There are several categories, 10 to be exact and I participated in one of them; the youth category. Its only ...

Here again I go writing to participate in a contest to win something. You never know how lucky I might be as seen in me winning a $100 just by posting about WordHugger. Really glad that I'm picked (by luck anyways) and hope that this time I might get an IPod. Today, the site that I am supposed to put up is nothing much related to internet or technology.  This site, is to teach people how to mix drinks and get erm, well better and tastier drinks? Wait no, I think that is it, but it teaches you how to make drinks too. Yeah, I think that is the case. Mixed Drink World, mixeddrinkworld.com, is a site, or perhaps we call it a database? , filled with mixed drink recipes. You follow the instructions given on the site, mix and match, and viola! The result is tastier and more addictive drinks.

http://www.wordhugger.com "Word Hugger is a Micro Investment website. A micro investment of $60 will earn lots of money back over the ten years that you own your word page for. We offer a 100% money back guarantee, and provide phenomenal support along the way." ~ About Us - WordHugger Can you comprehend that? No? Alright I shall try to paraphrase it for you so as to enable you to be able to further understand what WordHugger is all about. If you know about the milliondollarwiki, WordHugger is something similar to that but instead of buying a page, you buy a word! On buying a word you get something like wordhugger.com/your-word-here and you can edit it to your liking etc. Get it now? Here is the catch. When you buy a word for 60 bucks, some of it, to be exact 50% of the profit earned, will be given to Kiva. Now, what is Kiva? "Kiva is a non profit organization which loans money to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Individuals give Kiva a micro loan of $25 per person they are going to sponsor. Kiva then pools a number of these sponsors together, to collect a sum of $800-1200. Once the funds have been reached, Kiva contacts its micro-finance institutions in different developing countries such as Ghana, Ecuador, Cambodia, and so on, who then loan it to an entrepreneur in that location." Sweet? Definitely. Not only are you helping yourself in your business or whatever by buying a word, you're also indirectly contributing funds for a good cause! So now what's up with me being all kind and sweet putting up such an advertisement on my site. Well, besides me finding the site and concept behind it rather cool and innovative (Yes I meant what I say. I swear that I speak nothing but the truth), they are currently running a contest to promote themselves. In that case, this post is somewhat like a submission for the contest. Ha, call me money-minded or what-so-ever, I don't care. All I want is to win a few bucks for me to spend after my examinations. If you are interested, you can participate too! Here are the details:

Anyone fancy a Ping.sg T-shirt? The one which we will wear proudly proclaiming ourselves as a proud member of this community? The one we would be wearing together when we attend any event as a Ping.sg group?This idea has been surfaced and not taken off a few times since the launch of Ping.sg 1 year ago. One of the main reasons are due to lack of good T-shirt designs that I managed to find. This time, let's get it done! Instead of myself scouting for private designers on my own, which may not even know exactly what Ping.sg about, why don't we do it the community way this time. Ping.sg do have quite a few of good designers among us, aren't we? I say, let's start a Ping.sg T-shirt Design contest! The winning entry will be getting SGD 100 from Ping.sg. It's not a lot, but it is some money I can offer that I have made from Ping.sg (through advertising) minus the costly Singapore hosting fees. Most importantly, you will gain the recognition and respect among Ping.sg's community as the official Ping.sg T-Shirt designer, and you can be proud seeing your design worn by local bloggers. Some requirements: 1. It is a Ping.sg t-shirt, so, yeah the t-shirt has to have Ping.sg's logo. 2. Ping.sg's URL - http://ping.sg. We don't want ourselves to be mistaken for promoting for a golf equipment company. 3. Nothing else. Feel free to be creative. Closing Date: 1st October 2007 Do submit your entry right here at this forum, embedded using BBCode for all of us to see. :) Quoted from here My Designs,
