Rhode Island, USA based Swift Blue has asked me to invite The Beta News readers to join the alpha test of their local search engine. I’ve previously written about one of Swift Blue’s project, FamFridge, unfortunately a tragic family issue has set them back.
Searoo Local Search is only for the US at the moment, so you need an American zip code to register. Once you’ve registered you can review restaurants and see the reviews for the restaurants in your neighbourhood. There is also a Q&A section, where the users can connect and ask for restaurant, hotel and other recommendations.
Searoo is still in alpha test, so you should prepare for a few dead links and missing options.

Three weeks ago I launched my second site - FIFA 2008 News. It has the latest news about EA Sports’ coming FIFA Soccer 2008 featuring interviews, screen shots, trailers and demos and press releases directly from EA Sports’ Press Room.
It all started out with an article I wrote for Connected Internet, which quickly became and is one of the most read on the site. Everton Blair suggested that I started a site up with FIFA 2008 news, I’ve done that and I’m proud to say that traffic is growing each day.
This is my first attempt at a “real” niche blog. I’ll try a few experiments on it.

Did you read my post on Connected Internet about the Top 6 addictive and free online games?
If not you should head over there and try a few of them out. Number one on the list, Desktop Tower Defense’s designer has teamed up with the designer of FlashElementTD. They’ve quit their day job and started their own business, Novel Concepts. They still haven’t found a name for the gaming site yet, but they are working on it. One thing is sure though, they will focus on free online games.
Dave Scott says: “Our goal is to create an awesome casual gaming site with a social networking twist which we will use to host all our future games as well as some we have made already.”
Paul Preece is currently working on the latest version of the free online game Desktop Tower Defense (DTD) 1.5, which will feature the “Ink/Blob Tower” and “Boost Tower”.

You can now combine activism, fashion and SMS/text through Reactee’s latest innovation.
It is quite easy. You design your own T-shirt with your desired message like:” Got plans Saturday nite?”, “Stop Global Warming” or “Møjn, It’s Petersen Inc” (Ok, I made the last one up). Combined with a unique keyword like, “DATE”, “HOT” or “Pinc”, you text the keyword to 41411 and get a personalised message back from the owner of the T-shirt. This way a DJ can promote his playlist, you can get info on how to stop global warming or I can promote my site.
