! OPEN TO EVERYONE !

---------------------------------------

rapidshare (Ingmar) - Sending 100MB files to a group of people by email is not a good idea. There are several services that offer free file uploads, but I doesn't get any easier than this. No registration required.

spock (Ingmar) - The most hyped people search engine on the web. Currently by invitation only. Searches social networks, Wikipedia, IMDB and user supplied information.

adsense (Ingmar) - How much money do you make by having Google ads on your homepage? Does a crappy homepage suffice to give you a second income? Come and find out!
