Quizzle.com could be worth a mint
If you’ve set aside $10,000 as your “rainy day” fund, the nifty financial recommendation site Quizzle.com will tell you that that rates a “D” for preparedness.
A few weeks ago .TXT described in detail the smart money-management site Mint.
Quizzle, just as smart, is more focused on home values and one’s credit score.
Once one signs up, it produces a free credit report and throws in a score (which is approximate, based on credit industry standards).
Quizzle estimates one’s home value, then looks at your mortgage and determines whether you’re getting a good deal. If you’re looking to cash out and move, Quizzle attempts to find how much you can use from current equity.
It also has a budget management tool, which is fine but nothing special.
Note: If all you want is a free credit score, another option is CreditKarma.com.
In this case, the score is one of the three actual scores used by the major credit bureaus. It also lets you monitor your score over time.
Ifoundyourcamera. blogspot.com
This site is a home for lost and orphaned cameras or cell-phone cameras.
People who find cameras or memory cards upload the photos to ifoundyourcamera. blogspot.com, hoping the owner or friends of the shooter will find and claim them.
It works, as the “success stories” section details.
Worth a browse: Go through the regional search and find photos from cameras found near one’s area. The closest we saw there were some pictures taken in Kelowna, B.C.
Birdcinema.com
For birders, Birdcinema.com is an interesting rest stop and place to upload interesting photos and videos.
Let’s be honest, it’s not slick and the navigation options could be smoother. Even so, anyone who cares about seeing recent sightings of cool birds will have to spend a few minutes here every week.
Strangely, we couldn’t find a better ornithological site that caters to people wanting recently uploaded videos. The Audubon Society main page has a great section on birds. So does Cornell University’s wonderful ebird.com. But nowhere else did we find a cool site devoted to bird video.
