I had the today show on this morning and they did a feature on “5 websites that will change your life”, now I’m not sure if I would go THAT far on these….but I DO think they are cool!! I really liked THREE of them!!

The first is LEMONADE.com. It’s a ecommerce site and basically, you endorse certain products and feature them on your site, blog, myspace, facebook, etc and BY DOING SO, you get a CUT of the profit, up to 5-15% of the profit!! Soo cool!!! CLICK HERE to CHECK IT OUT!!!

The next is ASK SUNDAY. AskSunday.com is like a virtual personal assistant that will do tasks for you…. like make your doctor’s appointments, set up dinner reservations, or call you when you need to wake up even if you are on a trip around the world.

They will find concert tickets for you, call and make your hair appointment, even search Craig’s List for you if you are looking for something and don’t have time to keep looking for it!
They will get a rental car for your or find bus schedules if you are in a city and don’t know how to locate that info on your own! They will even do birthday greeting calls for you, make PDF files for you, give you recommendations for restaurants or really anything, even find something you lost!

It’s either $29 a month or $1 a task! Not bad!! CLICK HERE to check out ASK SUNDAY!!

Lastly, EXPERT VILLAGE features thousands of HOW TO video’s on a variety of topics!!! In just looking at the main page, I saw video’s on how to roast pumpkin seeds, to how to parallel park a car, to how to fix a wobbly ceiling fan, and MORE!! They have over 2,000 videos that are actually by experts or consulted on my an expert! Pretty cool, aeh!! CLICK HERE to check out EXPERT VILLAGE!!

A friend of mine told me about this SUPER cool new service called JOTT!! It’s a free service that allows you to call a number and provide whatever info you want (i.e….to do items, important info to remember, phone or email info to remember, etc) and it takes that info, transcribes it into text and emails it to you!! Isn’t that COOL!?!? I’m TOTALLY the kind of person that makes calls and lists while I’m driving, but I try and jott them on a post it note or even into the voice recorder I carry (because of this issue!!)…but the notes and lists PILE up on my voice recorder and so I don’t get to them all and/or the post it notes go all over the place and I can’t find them! So, I think this is a great, clean, organized way of keeping notes while on the road!! You can also have other people added to your account so they get the notes…i.e…your husband or wife, assistant, etc!? So, it’s also also like an email on the road kind of thing!! LOVE it!!! All you have to do is sign up and get the number! It’s that easy!!!

A very photo savvy client of mine introduced me to this super cool camera site!! It’s shop.lomography.com and they feature LOTS of super cool cameras like Holga’s, swing lenses, Lomo LC-a, Minox camera’s and more!! I’m an old school film girl and during my time at the Ohio Institute of Photography, I got into alot of camera’s like these…and I really grew to love unique cameras. My client is even using the combo 8 pack of colored flash lomolita disposable cameras & 8 lens Octomat cameras that they offer on this site as the table cameras at her wedding! HOW FUN IS THAT!!! This is a GREAT site!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
