Grab Bag: Your Five Links of the Week

Posted in: Website Links

  1. www.page-flip.com – Many people love the idea of adding flashy flip books to their websites. Many people love the “page-turn” effect they’ve seen in PDF files. If you’re one of these people, I believe you’d be interested in this website. FlippingBook PDF Publisher is an “easy-to-use professional desktop editor” that will help you replicate these fancy-schmancy page-turning effects.
  2. www.pleasedress.me – A “t-shirt search engine” that lets you locate cool shirts on the web.
  3. www.pingg.com – Free, stylish online invitations and announcements which, as they say, are “worthy of print.” I actually agree with them; the designs of their invites, eCards, greetings, announcements, etc. are professional and well-done. This is exactly why, within 10 seconds of arriving at the Pingg.com website I wondered, “Okay, so what’s the catch? There’s no way a company can offer a service like this with such beautiful designs for free. They need to make money somehow. So how do they do it?” After a bit more poking around, I discovered that the free cards they send contain advertisements (surprise!!), but if you pay $5, your card/announcement/invite will be ad-free. Suddenly it all made sense. (Oh, and PS: pingg.com delivers to mailboxes as well as inboxes: you click (and pay), they stamp and send.)
  4. http://tinyurl.com/mn3gyx - Any do-it-yourself Google Adsense users out there? I think you’d be quite interested in this superpost on understanding Adsense, all its rules, optimization, and ad placement.
  5. http://tinyurl.com/yfot7yn - Do icons on your computer’s desktop indicate that programs are actually running—and if so, will these programs slow down your system? Find out here.
