I´ve heard about Spinvox every now and then and as things happen, somehow never really paid attention to it. It changed in a second when I was listening to a speech at the last DLD conference and a simple chart reactivated my gadget reflex. On top one of my most favorite German bloggers certified Spinvox as the following: "It works like magic. love it!".
Let´s have a quick look what Spinvox could do for you. First of all: you need a mobile device, since this is a mobile app. In Germany you can choose between 4 different carriers and in general they offer you a free trial with no ties - they say. But their offer really differs depending on what you want to do.
You can speak into your phone, they convert it to a text message and send it to your blog. I haven´t tried it yet so make sure you tested it before and check if your thoughts about your latest pub experience go live straight away ... or not ;)
It´s also useful and speedylicious dangerous for micro blogging on twitter or jaiku. You say it, they produce a text and publish it. Unfortunately they classified twitter as a social network. So if you want to try it pick the social network option.

Sometimes in life there´s lunch for free :)
CeBIT is giving away some VIP tickets for free, including special services like access to keynotes and Executive Labs, catering and reserved seats and so on.
I am happy to present this offer to our members, especially to all bloggers who wanted to go but didn´t get the press accreditation for whatever reason.
Just click here. Ah..only available till 1 March and if you´re quick.

Exactly! This little gadget is for everyone who wants to twitter from the road and loves to juice up their tweets with photos. It works as an app on your mobile (currently only iPhone client available, but others like Nokia soon to come!). Seems to be useful fun since a lot of my twitteristas are already using it.

Inviting your contacts to join you on XING has just become even faster and more convenient. As well as a new preview feature, you can now also include a photo of yourself to make your invitation that little bit more personal.
And you can also gain an instant overview of all the invitations you sent out in the past six months, those contacts who’ve accepted and those who probably need reminding.
The simplest way to invite people and expand your network is to import your contacts’ details from Outlook or Lotus Notes to XING. And what’s more: Each of your contacts signing up also receives one free month of Premium Membership. Happy inviting!

It’s always the same: There is never enough time to read a book, especially one that is business related. We always get recommendations from friends, colleagues, family: “You have to read this book…, it’s the best…,you can learn a lot from it…”, but you’re unsure if you want to invest money into a book you don’t even know if you’ll like, let alone have time to read!
But there is a solution: Thanks to the fantastic concept behind getAbstract. getAbstract is an online offer that summarizes business books. Each year, 10,000 books are examined by getAbstract and the best ones are summarized into 5 pages. By now, there are 3,500 titles from 90 business categories available. So you can decide simply and easily, if you like a book before buying it. For all XING Premium Members there is a special offer from getAbstract in PremiumWorld – Look out for it!!!

"Who´s The Dick Writing Comments On My Blog?"
I don´t know. I really don`t know. But another help it´s on her way. Egg-shaped. Now, before you seriously think about having small talk with your soft-boiled egg, read this:
With Crazy Egg you can easily see where visitors are clicking on a page and where they´re not.
A solution of striking simplicity? Put my egg-goggles on now!
(thanks mashable)
