The concept is simple, my retro themed website shows you long forgotten fads that you can ‘like’ and share with your Facebook fans.

Currently, I only have a limited number of fads to choose from but I plan on adding new ones each week. If you have any ideas please leave a comment. I will gladly give attribution to anyone who submits a fad I use on the site.

Check out 80s Likes

They even give a nice chart on proper ‘Topeka’ usage.

I believe we should focus on rewarding ourselves for ‘good habits’.

So I created a good habits Chrome extension. Please try it out and send me some feedback.

Well obviously they don’t understand how important it is to annotate an Lolcat or tweet your whereabouts :(

Click RPG is here to help! Next time you get nagged about the time you spend online just bring up your stats to proudly display the progress you are making. You can even boast your rank and point out all the skills/attributes you are gaining. Case closed.

Lots of ideas spinning around. Within the next week I hope to implement 2 key new features.

1) How interesting are your friends
This will allow users to choose 2 friends and randomly compare themselves to their friends for 3 random questions. It will show a 3×3 grid of scores with an overall ‘winner’. It will also create a permalink so you can share the results with your friends.

2) Become more interesting
This will allow you to specify topics you are currently learning about. Then you will be given a list of interests and the ability to view the Kosmix, MeeHive, Google News or Bing page for that interest. Each time you click on one of those links you earn a ‘learning point’. You can get a maximum of 10-20 learning points per day. And this would create a new ‘apprentice leaderboard’ to highlight diligent pupils.

I just added a new question to test how tech savvy you are. Check it out.

Forgetfulness is a common problem but how forgetful are you? Now, you can get a score and find your ranking among your fellow tweeters.

I still haven’t gotten any user feedback on tweeting ranks so I wrote a bit of code just do it and we can adjust if this isn’t something you guys are interested in.

Here are the first 2 tweets so far:

1) @dcfemella is currently the #21 ranked musician on Twitter with a score of 28. #HIAY

2) @AlbertEliasMGMT is currently the #5 ranked movie critic on Twitter with a score of 16. #HIAY

As you can tell, I’m also using the #HIAY hashtag to keep things condense.

Update: I’m only tweeting scores of 10+ in an attempt to not embarrass anyone by tweeting their 0-1 scores.
