Social shopping sites cause online chatter
Beckie Tran doesn't have kids, which means she usually has no clue what presents to buy for her friends' children. Fortunately she gets advice from a separate group of buddies -- including people she's never even met.
Tran gets those gift ideas, and tips on dozens of other kinds of products, from her network of friends on Kaboodle.com, a Web site devoted to the fast-growing Internet category of "social shopping."
Social shopping sites with such names as Kaboodle, ThisNext, Wishpot and StyleHive combine two of the Web's most prominent activities: engaging in commerce and chatting with like-minded folks. The sites don't directly sell things, but encourage users to share links to good bargains, obscure finds, products that work and ones that don't.

A "Taj Mahal" Built For Volunteer Firefighters?
He also says they shopped for sales and bargains on everything.
Many of Granby's 37 volunteer firefighters say they're proud of the new station.
"We wanted something extravagant and nice for the volunteers and for the community," said Captain James Cautrell, who has been a volunteer in Granby for almost 18 years. "This station means that I love the community and the community loves us."
But critics point out the building would have cost even more had it not been for the volunteers performing some free work, such as site demolition, during construction.
"Thank goodness they did, because if they hadn't of had all of the volunteer work, then the cost would be even higher, when it appears they're excessive already. So thank goodness for volunteers to help out," said Taylor of CO Ethics Watch.

Grave failings all round
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon's Hizbullah movement, may be allowing himself a wry smile as he watches the fallout for the Israeli government and military of the war he triggered in July 2006. With the final report of the Winograd commission focusing on the "grave failings" of Israeli generals, prime minister Ehud Olmert and others, the charismatic, black-turbanned Shia leader will take satisfaction from any discomfort he is still causing his bitter enemy to the south. Yet whatever the domestic political consequences in Jerusalem, the drama underlines the continuing effects of what Hizbullah has dubbed its "divine victory" (the Arabic phrase is a neat pun on Nasrallah's own name) in 34 days of war - even though he admitted afterwards that he had miscalculated Israel's reaction to the kidnapping of two soldiers and the killing of eight others patrolling the border fence.
New annual feature! State of high school nation
As a devotee of TMQ, I thought you might like to know at least one coach in the vast football universe has experienced the epiphany and refuses to punt the ball away," Giovannini wrote. That team was Pulaski -- 9-1-1 after having just won its opening-round game in the Arkansas 5A playoffs. Coach Kevin Kelley reports that he stopped punting in 2005 -- after reading an academic study on the statistical consequences of going for the first down versus handing possession to the other team, plus reading Tuesday Morning Quarterback's relentless examples of when punting backfires but going for the first down works. In 2005, Pulaski reached the state quarterfinals by rarely punting. In 2006, Pulaski reached the state championship game, losing by one point -- and in the state championship game, Pulaski never punted, converting nine of 10 fourth-down attempts.
