Songs to wear pants to in the New Year

Amazing 2010 is right around the corner and it’s been a great 1st year at the Hot Domain Show. We wanted to find someone extra special to ring in the new year with and that is why we are pleased to introduce Andrew from Songs to Wear Pants To. On his website Andrew allows his fans to make requests of ideas they want to see become songs. If you want to guarantee that your song gets created Andrew is always interested in taking your money if he’s interested in the project. All songs on the website are free to stream however those that want to download it can pay around 99 cents per song. One example is Shoot the Zombies where Andrew was paid to write about the best way of killing zombies which is as everyone knows shooting them in the head. Read the rest of this entry

Who needs Craigs List when you’ve got Listia to get free stuff!

See that clutter in your house that you are no longer using.  Typically you just put it on Craigslist, but who wants all of those awful prank phone calls, I know I don’t want that.  There is a company looking to change the way we give our stuff away called Listia.  Instead of using cash to bid on items, you use credits.  Money never gets exchanged by the two parties only the
credits. Read the rest of this entry

While looking for events in vegas…

Oscar De La Hoya known for his boxing win at the Olympics has a video on youtube that showcases two of his fights. One is with Mayweather and the other Pacquiao. As you see in the video both of these guys devastate Hoya himself. The only reason that I even know about this is that I am getting ready for a trip over to Las Vegas for CES this coming January. Looking at the different shows out there I came across the MGM Grand Arena in Vegas where these two will duke it out LIVE on Saturday March 13, 2009. If you could go to this fight would you? You can find tickets to Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight by clicking on the link. Based upon the beating of Hoya in the video above, I have to say Pacquiao is probably going to win since if he can get Hoya to quit early then he might as well already have won the whole thing. Feel free to post your feelings below and if you decide to go.

What happens when health and tech merge together…

Health and tech, it’s the future and it’s always gone hand in hand. Myself I’ve always enjoyed new technological breakthroughs but then again I’ve always valued being healthy and alive. Being healthy and alive though means not having to know all the deep intricate details and relying on others to take care of those matters. The two videos that I have above talks a bit about visual healthcare and even social networking in the health industry. It is produced by CNBC and is quite interesting in it’s presentation. Take a moment and write in the comments what you think about the matter and is this the future, or is it already here and just haven’t had the time to notice and appreciate it.

LEGO makes a clever little advertisement

Here at the hot domain show we are always looking for the fun and interesting. One story that received multiple hits was our story on 8-bit trip where we spoke to the creator of an amazing music video made out of legos. It seems that the LEGO corporation wanted to get into the act with this cute little video. Enjoy!

Youtego, and what it took for me to finally understand it!

When I first came across Youtego, I knew it was special. It was so special that I had no idea whatsoever what I was supposed to do with it. Thanks to the helpful guidance of Artyom Shamtsyan, founder of the website, I had a great opportunity to better understand the everything.

The best way of explaining the website is a combination of discovering yourself and at the same time social networking through those connections. By tagging yourself a whole new world opens up. These tags are called “tegos”. These “tegos” combine a description with a picture from either an icon library, upload from a disk, Flickr, Picasa, or even google.

We started at the beginning where I got an overview of my profile including the use of “tegosets” to start adding “tegos” to the various categories. In the end I was able to make this very cool video with music attached that can be embedded into any website. Read the rest of this entry

A site that can provide insurance quotes

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NetQuote. All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to buying insurance I have no idea where you even need to start let alone the cost of insurance. One website that is out there to give you insurance quotes and featured on the Today Show, CNN Money, and in the Wall Street Journal is called NetQuote.

On the website it asks you to put in your zip code and then choose the type of insurance that you need. I tried a test with renters insurance and I found the forms very easy to use. Instead of being overwhelmed by pages of data, NetQuote simplifies the forms by using drop down menus and breaking up the screens into 4 easy steps.

My main concern was security of the website but that concern disappeared once I witnessed the lock symbol in my browser telling me that this website is safe and secure. According to the website by going with them you can save up to $500 and with 1 form get 5 quotes instead of having to do all 5 forms. Finally it doesn’t hurt that we are looking at all top companies available as part of the system.

IMVUCE.com Virtual Currency Reseller Special Offer

If you have never heard of IMVU then watch the video above. It is a virtual world that takes instant messaging to the next level by allowing users to create their own unique identity. In fact at the time of posting the IMVU website reported that there were 98,000 currently chatting away. That identity of course costs credits. If you go on the IMVU site you can get credits, but if you go to IMVUCE the owner mentioned that you will find yourself with around double the credits in comparison. In plain english a way to buy cheap imvu credits without breaking the bank compared to what you would have spent. Hopefully this saves those in the audience that have been spending money on IMVU credits this holiday season.

Why would you do all the work when these guys will make your squidoo and hubpage for you?

Everyone is always looking to get their websites seen and get on to the top of the google list but sometimes it takes work, sweat, and tears not to mention time to put it all together. Two sites squidoo and hubpages will help you get an audience to take a closer look at your content and drive traffic to your website. But if you do not maintain the website then you are not getting the full benefit.

I have a website for everyone to check out that will give you the ability for Hubpage & Squidoo creation. For me the experience of doing and setting everything up yourself would be the way to go. I can see how this would be helpful to someone out there that would have hired an employee to do this without the high cost. They don’t ask for too much information to set everything up which I really like since nobody wants to spend all day filling out a really long form. Let me know if this works out for you in the comments below.
