Create Picture Perfect Avatars Everytime
I think my Avatar sucks. I spent hours, well not quite hours, trying to find one that I liked and in the end I went for my current animated version as I thought it would catch people’s eye and get them to look at my profile.

It’s far too easy to get sucked into spending hours each day leaving comments and responding to comments on MySpace. Wouldn’t it be great if you were sent an alert whenever you received a new message, rather than logging on a zillion times a day to check for (or hoping for!) new message?

Save Up To $180 On Windows Vista
Let’s face it, upgrading to Windows Vista is too expensive for most of us mere mortals, with the top-of-the-range Vista Ultimate weighing in at a whopping $379. For that kind of money you can buy an 80GB iPod.
