[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, TFLN…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like Regretsy, Clicker, and Homeslyce) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]

How familiar does this scenario sound to you? You’re driving in your car or walking to class when you suddenly get a great idea or remember you have to do something…but by the time you get a chance to write it down, you’ve already forgotten it.  Or maybe you simply forgot to write down an assignment right when it was assigned…and then forget to turn it in. Or your roommate asked you to pick up some emergency toilet paper… and now everyone has to drip dry.

Thank god I’m here.

Meet reQall, an online service that helps you remember important ideas, dates, tasks, etc., at the exact moment they pop into your head so there’s no time to forget them. (Don’t worry, reQall isn’t some weird microchip installed in your brain.)

It’s ridiculously easy to use: just sign up for an account (you can choose between the “standard” free account and the paid “Pro” account) to get started, and then you can start adding events and reminders.  OK, so that seems pretty similar to having a planner, but it’s so. much. better.

Alli Sims.

The fact that we know that name implies that we should know something about her other than the fact that she follows Britney Spears around like a stray puppy. Is she her cousin as others have reported? Her assistant (that would explain a lot)? Perhaps just a loyal and fame hungry pal?

Apparently, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana native has been singing her entire life and according to her official site (What? Don’t you have one?), the former sorority sister says;

“In 2003 I graduated from college and my roommate and I threw our stuff in a U-haul and moved to Los Angeles. I have been living and working here ever since…. We will see what my future has in store”.

It is still very unclear whether Alli and Britney come from the same gene pool, although Alli seems far too well spoken and physically coordinated to be a Spears. In fact, if Brit plans on doing any future Dateline interviews perhaps Alli could lend a hand by speaking off-camera while Spears moves her mouth like a puppet (What? We know the girl can lip synch).

But the truth is that Alli may not have the time to help out her “cousin” with an upcoming album produced by Britney’s former fling and music mogul J.R. Rotem. Could Britney be promoting the career of someone who may just replace her on the Billboard charts? Okay, it’s doubtful that Alli’s remake of “On My Own” from Les Miz is going places but you never know. Read More »
