One, search contacts. Two, find Courtney. Three, alongside her phone number, see her Twitter, Facebook and Myspace updates with the slide of a finger. This awesome little phone is the way to next level social networking- and probably your new best friend. KIN is like an on the go PC that goes one step further in enabling you to update any social network with text, photo, sound and video in a cute, compact, and graphically appealing touchscreen phone. It's not just your contacts either- view a constant flow of updates from your favorite band via their web site, or even your favorite news sites. It's like the newsfeed for your everything! Just like any other mobile internet connection, when you're not getting updates, feel free to surf the web on the phone's easy, navigable touchscreen. The KIN One is a wee pocket sized phone with a full slide-out keypad, its big brother, KIN Two, has the same slide out keyboard but with a wider screen, more memory, and HD video compatibility. Probably the best part: when you purchase your KIN, you're given your own online studio on which you're able to access all your text messages, contacts, videos and images without the actual phone -- So, losers like me who are in constant search of where they last left their phone have not only a back-up, but an interactive server of all things that are important to you. Check out social networking's next of kin by Verizon Wireless, and stay in touch like never before!
Recession Chic: My Top 10 Online Fashion Webzines!

Spring cleaning started a little later than usual for me this year (I know, its August) and as I waded through the dust bunnies, it occurred to me that most of what needed to go were my ancient fashion mags. I am generally an unapologetic fashion publication addict, but in the battle of Paper vs. Sanity, there was no contest - I had to find my fix elsewhere. Luckily there are several FREE fashion publications on the Internet that have all the bells and whistles of their paper brothers and sisters, but take up no space - and cost nada! Though nothing can replace the feel of a glorious glossy in your hands, it's hard to ignore the many benefits of the environmentally friendly - and increasingly user-friendly - webzine. So instead of buying all the new fall fashion issues of the glossies, why not instead check out my SLIDESHOW of my fave FREE fashion guides on the web, and start your virtual flipping now!
