Move Over Friendster

Who said social networking, (the latest internet buzz in case you missed it) is just for people? Dogster is the place to go for pooches looking for love and friendship. Or in other words, just another place on the Web where scary, half-hinged people gather in odd quirk-laced communities.

MP3 Wristwatch
Get ready for more convergence this time not on your cellphone but on your wrist. Laks Cartagena Handels has developed a wristwatch that doubles as as MP3 player. Dubbed the Laks Memory Music (could there be a worse name?) the watches will come in 32MB - 256MB versions and will hit the streets sometime in March. One bad catch: the watches if you actually listen to music sport a four to five hour battery life, which means having to charge yet another device and running the risk of missing a meeting because your watch conked out. Ah progress.

Nokia's New "Visual Radio"

Nokia has developed a new system that lets radio stations beam visuals to listeners via a new "Visual Radio." According to the BBC:"The technology ties radio broadcasts together with specially created content that, for example, could tell people which band is playing and what they look like. Visual Radio would also let people set up alerts so they would be told if a favourite artist releases a new single or their music is being aired."Groovy?
