By creating a free Foonz account, you'll be able to start group calls anytime, from your own phone, for free!

They are a group of friends who wanted to get in touch with a bunch of people on the phone, at once, right away, to plan the night's adventure.
So, they invented Foonz – the world's first easy way to call a group of people, from any phone, absolutely free!
The best part is, now that they're started, they can't stop thinking of ways to use Foonz and new features to add.

Emotionr is about how you and the rest of the world are feeling today.
It lets you store and share your emotional experiences, and see how the world is feeling right now.

You can use Emotionr to:

• Store and keep track of your feelings, what makes you happy, and what doesn't.
• Share your emotional experiences and how you have been feeling lately with friends, family and colleagues.
• Discover things that make people happy and find people with same kind of feelings and reasons like you.

Wanna know how Crickee usually feels? I feel nice, like sugar and spice ;-)

Virtual satellite tour around the world

This week Crickee has learnt from Albert Einstein quote what means relativity ! "Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality".
Watch a 9 minutes video, and it seems like an hour. Take a virtual satellite tour around the world in 9 minutes, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity ;-)
The tour is also available here at the Google Earth Community webpage.

Isn't it nice when things just ad-just? See how to? Advisibility is the wise way Crickee makes your ad highly visible ;-)
