From Sacrilicious Marketing:

Ever want to be famous? We all secretly harbor delusions of gandeur, but luckily, the Internet has provided even the least likely celebrity candidate the ability to blog, film, podcast, tweet, blip, digg their way to pseudo-stardom. So, if you want to be famous, take a page from one of the following totally ordinary people that are legends in your living room because of the big bad “inter-web.”

There are probably hundreds of ways to watch tonight’s election results, but I’ve pulled together this list of sites that will have live coverage, or interactive widgets to view the results. This list is obviously not complete, but it should give our readers a great place to start.

I’ve got to admit, I’m not a huge Yahoo fan, but they’ve done a nice job with this site. The site features live news updates, and an interactive map with results.

Using Twitter Vote Report, voters will be able to share their experiences and resources with one another (e.g. “#wait:120″ meaning that the wait time is 120 minutes). These messages will then be aggregated and mapped so that we can “see” voting problems around the country in real-time. There doesn’t appear to be anything about election results, but it’s Twitter, so I’m sure you’ll get a good idea. I can see this being fun to watch along with one of the other sites listed.

What follows is a list of twenty five pieces of software that are the cream of the crop of open source software for Macs. Not only is every piece of it free, many of them directly replace expensive software packages.

From TechRadar:

When it comes to the Internet, we’re creatures of habit – Google for search, Hotmail for email, Twitter to stay in touch and maybe the BBC’s website for news.

This means that we use only a handful of favourite sites, leaving the rest of the Internet unvisited. Let’s put that right. By the time you’ve finished reading, we promise that your list of bookmarked sites will have ballooned and you’ll be getting more from your surfing.

From Lifehacker:

Unless you’re a financial Jedi Knight or economic Sith Lord, you probably don’t have a ton of control over our turbulent economy. What you can reign over is your spending and saving—and when you know where they are, you can take advantage of deep discounts and general freebies across the web. Even you’re not much for coupons and you’re occasionally unable to resist splurging on a new tech toy, you can save some serious cash on many purchases, or avoid them entirely, by spending a few minutes online. Check out some of our favorite current free or cheap deals and low-hassle discounts for your weekend viewing. Don’t dawdle, though, because some deals are ending soon. The full list is below.

Well, it’s Halloween, so I’m feeling obligated to write a list about something Halloweeny. I received a tweet this morning showing hanging coffins, and thought they might fit well into a list of bizarre coffins.I have no idea if this list will interest anyone, but I was surprisingly intrigued (and shocked) as I did my research. Hope you enjoy!

Gizmodo has a small gallery of crazy coffins, and this one caught my attention. I guess this egg would look nice next to your wicker couch.

Nope, this isn’t a joke. And I guess it’s not really about the coffin on this one as it is about the fact that there’s a 2008 version of a coffin calendar. Head over to Underground Humor for all the details.

I’ll admit, I’m a huge Firefox fan, and always found add-ons to fill my browsing needs. Then Google launched Chrome, and I had to give it a try. Chrome has now become my default browser on my XP laptop, and while trying to find workarounds for add-ons, I spent some time with bookmarklets.

I’ve used bookmarklets before, but never for anything more than sharing a story on FriendFeed. Now that I’m having to use them with Chrome, I’m falling in love with them, and have decided to share my top 8. I’d like to see others listed in the comments, and I have a few others, but 8 is enough for now.

This bookmarklet was the inspiration behind this post. X-Robots SEO Tool is a bookmarklet that can be utilized in either Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera on Windows and OS to find information vital to search engine optimization. The tool was built in collaboration with developer Cooper Harris and will continue to be developed to help SEOs. The beauty of this bookmarklet is that no updates need to be downladed since the tool is changed on our end. Just add the bookmarklet to your bookmark’s toolbar, and begin to audit the web.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: X-Browser SEO Tools

Allows you to email the current web page you’re on via your Gmail account. There are a lot of tools that help with this, but this one seems the easiest.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: Gmail This

Sometimes sharing with gmail just isn’t enough. Share This allows you to share the current web page you’re on to 20+ social bookmarking and social networking sites. All the heavy-hitters are there, so you’ll be able to tell the whole world how Obama MUST be a evil because he doesn’t wear a flag pin.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: ShareThis

I use Delicious daily. I know there are other, and arguably better social bookmarking services, but to me, it doesn’t get any better than delicious. There are actually two bookmarklets you can use with this site, but I’ll just post the one that allows you to directly bookmark sites.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: Bookmark on Delicious

Sure, ShareThis from above will allow you to post to Facebook, but this is just a nice and simple bookmarklet to add the page you’re viewing to Facebook.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: Share on Facebook

If you’re not using FriendFeed, you’re a tool. But if you are using FriendFeed, this bookmarklet will allow you to post your current page to your main feed, or to any of your rooms. It’s simple, but full of options. This is a must if you ever find yourself trying to post to FF.

Drag to Bookmark Bar: Add to FriendFeed

I use a ton of different tools for screen caps, but this one is one of the easiest, making this one of my favorite bookmarklets. “kwout” is a way you quote a part of a web page as an image with an image map. To use this service, all you need is to add the bookmarklet to your favorite browser.

This list wouldn’t be complete without a Twitter reference. If you’ve ever looked for a dead-simple way to update your twitter status, this is the bookmarklet for you. You have to go to the site to create the bookmarklet, but it’s as simple as providing your login info. So head over, make a bookmarklet, and get twittering.
