Internet Wishlist

You know what would be really nice? If some of these e commerce sites would allow you to just create a little bucket to put items you are interested in to review for later. I’m not talking about a shopping cart. I am talking about a little collective area where you can just paste or drag everything you want and then review it and narrow down your choices. Actually, a tool that would do this across all sites would really be even better. Something where I can throw a bunch of boots in since that is what I am on the hunt for right now, and then compare them all after I’ve done my browsing. With pictures. Not urls. Then I can sort my little mix by whatever I want. Mainly price and shipping date availability since it is Wednesday and I am shopping for a pair of shoes I intend to wear on Friday evening.

My current method is to open several FireFox browsers by site, and then create a new tab for everything I am considering. As I roll through and rule something out I close the tab, continue on with the process, and will hopefully wind up with a winner. Annoying. Time consuming. And no possible way for me to ask a friends opinion without emailing them a list of 20-30 links.

So if you are looking for a project, please do that one. All I ask is that you let me know about it when it’s done, and maybe write an ode to me somewhere on the site. If it is out there already, please, someone send it to me.

K. Thanks. Bye.

I’ve never been a cat person, but this site makes me want one just so that I can take awesome pictures of them. I saw this and had to post it. It feels like the Internets are crazy lately, and this makes me laugh my butt off.

Digg for Women – Sk*rt

One of my favorite blogs is Design Mom. I am not a mom (yet), but I love her take on things. She makes it seem easy, or at least worth it, to make an effort to do things sweetly and with style.

So when she announced that she was launching the new site Sk*rt I immediately went over there to give it a try. In my industry there is so much emphasis on Digg. It’s amazing what the traffic generated from there can do for your site, but unfortunately the subject matter over there isn’t that interesting to me. Sk*rt is like Digg for women. You can find anything on there, from time organization tips for a busy woman, to great recipes, to ways to eliminate PMS symptoms. Now I get why Digg is so addictive.

Check out Sk*rt, but be prepared to hang out for a while. There are so many good finds on there.
