Deezer.com, formerly Blogmusik.net

Geez, am I among the last person on this planet to know about this cool site? From Wikipedia, Deezer.com, formerly known as Blogmusik.net, is a French free Internet-based music-on-demand service. Deezer offers on-demand ad-supported streaming in a similar manner to imeem.com, with a portion of the ad revenue being delivered to content partners. The site has been the center of some controversy, with record companies such as Universal alleging that the service "illegally" hosts copyrighted material. Deezer, on the other hand, claim that their agreements with SACEM, a French organization similar to the US-based RIAA, allow them to host the disputed content. It offers FREE music and the several songs I played sound like the full versions. No gimmicks at all. There is a banner ad on top of the page but that is hardly obtrusive. In return for viewing this ad, I get free music - I think this is a rocking good deal! Though there is a registration button, I was able to listen to the songs without registering (or having to log in). So check out Deezer if you have not already. ^^ PS.: I got wind of this site via this article which you might wish to check out too - "9 Outrageously Handy Websites Everyone Should Try".

Google has a page rank of -1!

I was trying to check the page rank of my blog (without having to install the pesky Google toolbar) and guess what I got? The result is laughable... I got this from whatsmypagerank.com in case you are wondering. Who's kidding who? :P PS.: And yes, I did try several variations like google, google.com, www.google.com . PPS.: To be fair, the "-1" might mean that the page rank is unavailable - possibly because Google has "banned" this site from bombarding it with page rank requests. Beats me but this website certainly needs to have a domain name change.

Relationships ... Gotta have them!?

We are busier than ever -- and time has become a dwindling commodity ... do relationships suffer, or do we pack more relationship equity into the time we have.
