This just may be the best iPhone news yet!

We all know the iPhone can view YouTube videos, surf the net, and so
much more. But I bet you never thought you could play World of War Craft (WoW) on it! However, before everyone stops reading to finally go buy an iPhone, I must let everyone know it’s not exactly what you’re thinking…

Yes, Alan Joyce from EverythingDigital.org did in fact get WoW to run on his iPhone with a little help from telekinesis, a remote access tool for the iPhone that allows you to control your Mac. It wasn’t exactly perfect…

His results can be seen in his YouTube video HERE.

Though, you are limited to a few basic functions and forced to endure poor performance, this is still quite an extraordinary task!

Hopefully, this will inspire Blizzard to make a mobile WoW very soon!

There has been a lot of talk since eBay quietly launched it’s free classifieds site, Kijiji.com, here in the states last week. Some people think this will be a major blow to Craigslist for sure- but let us not jump to conclusions…

Craigslist revolutionized online classifieds and continues to be a major force- and for good reason. According to Craigslist.org’s “factsheet“, it boasts more than 12 million new classified ads each month and more than 5 billion page views per month, making Craigslist the #7 most popular English-language website. And I am sure these numbers will not dramatically change much anytime soon.

Though I do not see this affecting Craigslist much, I do think there is a place for Kijiji.com in the online classifieds market. Since, Craigslist’s simple layout is not only its best friend, but also its worst enemy. People are familiar with seeing bright attractive logos with eye catching layouts, so when they see a simple looking, text based website, they get pretty worried about its safety.

Therefore, a classified site with some color, powered by such a trusted company such as eBay will be sure to bring in those afraid of using Craigslist. Also, loyal Craigslist users will definetly benifit from all of this, because they will have more options for reaching the public.

Google made a splash not too long ago with its purchase of FeedBurner. For those who don’t know, FeedBurner is an online tool that helps people who create feeds (bloggers, podcasters) manage, disseminate and track their feeds. If you have a blog, for example, FeedBurner, helps you see traffic and subscribers for it, make it compatible with various aggregators, optimizes and submits it to major search engines and all sorts of other cool stuff.

The acquisition, of course, is old news (well, June 1st). Today, Feedburner announced that their PRO level accounts are now free. Before now, users could have access to detailed statistic reports (Stats Pro) as well as the “MyBrand” service that allows feed creators to have a customizable address for their feeds (i.e. feeds.overoll.com/myfeed rather than feeds.feedburner.com/myfeed). Read HERE for a view on why the MyBrand feature is rather important. If you’ve been paying the $3-$14 per month until now, you won’t be billed for June so take yourself out for lunch or something…If you haven’t wanted to pony up, you can now activate the new features.

Google, of course, will be looking for more people to sign up and use FeedBurner to help distribute their feeds. In Google’s blog post on this, they remind us that “FeedBurner offers a feed advertising platform for advertisers to reach engaged feed readers through targeted in-feed ads and innovative techniques like RSS feed-driven ads.” Yes, FeedBurner already has a huge advertiser network, doing what you would expect Google to do anyway with AdSense - advertisers can sign up to insert ads into relevant feeds. However you can now look forward to podcasts and RSS feeds showing up as inventory in your Google AdWords content network, and you can tracking it with new features in your Google Analytics account.

For point of reference, FeedBurner has over 430,000 feeds reaching 67 million subscribers per day…that’s a lot of people getting highly targeted content (see HERE). While I’d love to see the breakdown of how those subscribers are broken down, it’s still a nice audience Google can now offer its advertisers.

Customizing your gadgets is always a fun thing, especially when it comes to your cell phone. We all love to put our favorite backgrounds, photos, videos, and songs on our phones. In fact, our phones are not just for calls anymore; they are our mobile entertainment centers. And I’m not talking about a $600 new phone with a touch screen, MP3 player, and a million other bells and whistle either ;-).

I am talking about regular cell phones. Although, as most of us know, most cell phones are not so “regular,” anymore. In reality, the majority of cellular devices today can take photos, videos, play music, and even give us directions. The only downside is downloading anything new can sometimes cost a fortune. Plus, most of the time they don’t even have the stuff you’re looking for.

As a result, I got to searching and found 3Guppies.com, which allows you to transfer media onto your cell phone. You can upload media, grab it from your favorite website using their FireFox browser plug-in, and if you have a website or MySpace account, you can even let others send stuff to their phones using the “Mobilizer Widget.”

It works great and best of all it’s free.

Just a good reminder, it will cost to use text messaging and/or the Internet over your phone.

Now you can go to download that crazy prairie dog to your phone and watch it whenever you want!
