Last night when I should have gone to sleep already, I found a couple of things that were basicly a digital dream come true.
Dream come true #1 is called PicLens and it basicly provides an interesting 3D way of viewing different media directly in firefox(and a few other browsers). It's great for flickr, youtube, and deviantart users because you can browse thousands of pictures and videos in seconds.
Just make sure you have a fast connection!
Dream come true #2 is called LiveMocha, and it's a community based website for people wanting to learn a second language. It's based on a technique of learning involving looking at pictures and hearing native speakers, to learn a language the natural way. It's somewhat similar to Rosetta Stone, but much much more affordable(free vs $220 a level).

You're welcome it's an amazing product. I honestly think this may turn into a more modern way of browsing the web.
Things have needed to be more streamlined on the web for quite a while now, and this could be a way of doing it.
I have also found livemocha.com to be a great language learning resource. I have been researching to find the best sites to learn a language online and I think livemocha.com and www.edufire.com are probably the best that I have seen and actively used.
I do think it is a dream come true to have great language learning resource available to us on the easy and convenient web :)
Thanks, I'll check out edufire, and it is cool to have something like that available free.
