Live Cashback Continues To Disappoint

Wed, Dec 10, 2008

Microsoft’s Live.com Search Cashback scheme is having a bad time of it lately, managing to upset customers day after day over the past week.

Live Search

America had it’s annual Black Friday event last week, a day of bargains for shoppers across the country. Users of Live Search were promised a 40% cashback offer on HP products – but many complained they only received a poultry 3%. On top of that, the actual Live.com site was down most of the day.

Sadly for customers, it doesn’t end there. Today, Microsoft announced an “instant cashback” feature which allowed searchers to grab their cash immediately. The problem being, according to a blog post by the team, this is only for an undefined select amount of users, and only on eBay purchases.

Just take a look at the comments of that post, and see that no one cares anymore – they’re too pissed off to care. I really don’t think that, if Google had a similar scheme, things would be going this bad. Do you? Comments are yours!

We know you probably haven’t got all those presents yet, made any plans, or even splashed out a few quid on a stock of bottles for the fridge.

But it’s unavoidable – whether you like it or not. And to get to the point, that’s what we’re after. What does Christmas mean to you? Answer below!

Poll: What’s Christmas All About?

Most presents this Christmas will be fairly tame – the ladies will be inundated with bath “things”, and a huge chunk of the lads will be set for the year sock-wise.

But some presents just scream “I AM GOING TO KILL YOU THEN FEED YOU TO SATAN’S THREE-HEADED POODLE”.

What mad excuses for pressies have you spotted (or received?)

Psycho Christmas Present Watch

Member of Last.fm? If you aren’t, for God’s sake catch up and join. If you are, here’s a site for you.

: Image via Wikipedia

PlayMyMusicVideos asks you simply for your Last.fm username, and after whacking it in, starts playing a stream of YouTube videos. The hook? The videos are your favourite tracks according to your Last.fm profile. Sweet!

The only flaws I can think of are pretty minor, to most people. Obviously with this being YouTube, quality often isn’t the best in the toolbox. Also, sometimes you’ll get an annoyingly weird home video some highschooler has knocked together with the tune in the background, instead of a world-class music video. But there isn’t too much that can be done about that now, is there!

The site is of course free. What does everyone think?

Ever searched Google for lyrics? Here’s a search for the lyrics to ‘I Kissed A Girl’ by the lovely Katy Perry (you all know it by now). Go try it and click the first few links. Come back once you find your way through the blast of frustrating ads and popups.

: Cover of I Kissed a Girl

There’s other ways – without the stress. Let me answer your prayers..

LyricWiki

LyricWiki is a huge wiki full of lyrics – perfect. Functioning and looking much like Wikipedia, you can search and also add your own lyrics to the database, or even edit incorrect lyrics. It can get addictive, but a clean way to see the lyrics you want.

SongMeanings

SongMeanings has been around for a long time, and does more that show lyrics. On each song, catagorised by Artist/Album, there’s a good discussion around what the song and specifically the lyrics mean. Guaranteed to make you go “well I never knew that”!

Songbird LyricMaster Add-On

Songbird, a media player we’ve covered before, has a plugin available to show the lyrics to the song now playing within the interface. How friggin’ cool is that?

LyricsPlugin For Windows Media Player and Winamp

LyricsPlugin is a simple add-on for either Windows Media Player or Winamp that does exactly what the Songbird plugin does – shows the lyrics within the media player interface. Yup, it’s free.

On Friendfeed? No? Why the feck not? If you are, or once you are, I’ve set up a Random Lyrics room to let you post random lyrics to songs you’re listening to. New members always welcome!

Do you have any other golden ways to find lyrics on the Web? Please, share in the comments!

Hi Daniel,

When filling out your preferences on a Florida adult dating site, it is advisable to be flexible. Insisting on a man with six-pack abs is likely to leave you spending another lonely Saturday night eating ice cream in front of the TV. On the other hand, flexibility helps you to attract more matches thus enabling you to narrow them down yourself and see what minor "shortcomings" you may be willing to compromise on.

To increase your chances of success, you should include a photo in your Florida free dating site profile. Choose your most flattering photo too. Also try to have a lively profile that presents you as an interesting person so as to capture the interest of other members. Remember that you are flirting using words, so try to be as creative as possible. Trying to communicate with other site members from a profile without a photo is guaranteed to earn you many snubs. On the other hand, having a photo makes you seem more familiar.

Many Florida free dating sites offer an instant messenger service which will enable you to communicate with other site members who are online at the same time. Sites may also have settings that allow you to hide your profile. It is however advisable to keep your profile visible as much as possible so as to increase the chances of a browsing member coming across it. You may freeze membership to be with someone, and then unfreeze it if you want to be a part of the singles market again.

Some of the powerful matching options offered on Florida adult dating sites include quick search features. With a quick search feature, you are able to find members that are also looking for someone just like you. You may then narrow down your search to only those living in proximity to you. Alternatively, you may search and find persons that you would simply like to meet up with during your next trip out of town.

Most online dating sites allow free registration and browsing for standard members but charge for certain privileges enjoyed by paying members such as sending messages. Membership maybe in classes and can last for 3 months or one year, each with its own benefits. Some sites feature a testimonials section where you can visit to see the success stories of people that have met on the site and gone on to have long term relationships and have even gotten married.

as far as my experience with dating websites, i would highly recommend this amazing service:
