FetchRex.com - Digg for Non-Techies

Tomorrow (Friday, May 25) is the last day of school here in Atlanta...(I can't decide whether to type YAY!! or God help us all...)

Anyway, before we go into the long Memorial Day Weekend and kick off a new season of CAMP MOMMY next week, with a new Book Giveaway Contest for THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS, I wanted to share one of my NEW Favorite Places on the Internet.

My new source of daily news, coffee break conversation, and online community:

FetchRex.com

FetchRex.com is kind of like Digg for non-techies. It's addictive, interesting, and a lot of fun: Fetching local recommendations (REX) and useful bits of information out of the overwhelm that is now online; commenting on features; rating other people's recommendations; and submitting your own. (There's also a really cool daily Sudoku puzzle that times you as you work the puzzle, so you know exactly how much time you're wasting -- always good to know.)

I've been spending time over on FetchRex as "slcatlanta." I've been recommending all kinds of great articles, websites and blogs that I come across in my daily surfing -- wasting time, so you don't have to! (It's not a waste of time -- all part of my little contribution to the world:)

Check out FetchRex.com when you have a minute, and be sure to REX all those slcatlanta articles -- feel free to submit any articles from RebelHousewife.com for REX consideration (Thank You!!). Happy REXing...

interesting..I have not tried DIGG yet but just read Wnedy'd post on such things (part of her Wish List project) and was blown away by how much more I have to learn. So hearing about something non-techie sounds great - I'll put it on my schedule for next week!
I realized last night (during the 2am feeding) that I never answered one of your e-mails about having a number of us mommy types connected -- maybe we could help eachother in this social network scene like suggesting eachothers posts etc...would it need to formalized? hmmmmmm...

Hi Sherri -

Now my face is on your MyBlogLog face widget!

And yes, you sent me the email correctly over there.

(And I surely did say, "Help me, Lord" when I talked to my son about getting out of school next week. It should be a fun and relaxing summer...I pray!)

Well, LOOK who has been hanging out with The Rebel Housewife! I love that little MyBlogLog thing, and all those little faces and new friends. Paula Neal Mooney is one of my new favorite people on the Internet -- she is one cool, always-interesting lady. Thanks, Paula!

For everybody who wants to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (one person)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).
