Buzz: Christmas Maps and Contest!

Posted by

The Season of Advent is upon us officially now… Advent usually begins on the first Sunday in December, and is the beginning of the Church Year in the Western churches. I was pleasantly reminded of this by a surprise buzz request from a website called Christmas Maps.

So Christmas Maps wants to help people find attractive Christmas Lights displays throughout the US, as well as draw some online attention to local business in these states… Yeah! A nice way to entertain people and make a little extra $$ for Christmas! Of course, no blog or website launch these days comes complete without a COMPETITION! To draw attention to the blog, you can leave a comment, post a link, write a buzz or whatever. There are some neat prizes, too. And, if you are a blogger, there are extra prize buzzes, too.

So, thanks, guys! I appreciate the link you gave me, and I’m going to be using a theme I found courtesy of your website for Advent and Christmas!

If you’d like a blogbuzz, like this one, then hop on over to Buzz your BlogFest, read the instructions, and sign up today. There are only 18 buzzes to go! I’m happy to say I’m extending the program until I reach 30 buzzes or Christmas comes first! So hurry before I forget!

Buzz RadioTime – a little lunchtime listening treat

Posted by

It’s rare these days that ‘big media’ does much right, but this website is one such effort… I hope it stays around… What is it? Well, in these days of online radio, it’s not difficult to start an online radio station effort, and there are literally THOUSANDS. Indeed, tradtional radio has largely joined the crowd of online stations, but until RadioTime, there were few places to easily access all the traditional radio stations…

Simply, it’s a website that brings traditional radio to the web. You can tune in and listen to any of the stations, and when you tune in, one of several integrated media players opens in a small popup window. I was quite excited about this, because while online radio stations really do complement traditional radio, there are an awful lot of places where there are no equivalents: the music selection is narrower on RadioTime, but there’s a lot more variety of news, sports and more ‘traditional’ fare than on online stations. You can also select stations by geography, say New York City or London. Try it… so if you want to hear what Dublin sounds like in the morning or Taipei sounds like late at night!
