Mossberg Speaks
It's no secret Walt Mossberg is a freakin' super-pundit in the tech world (it's rumored he once liveblogged for 14 hours straight...while standing). And if you need some words from the man himself, all you have to do is head over to waltmossbergsays.com, jot down your statement/prediction/infallibility, and BOOM! — Walt speaks. Not only that, but people never question what Mossberg says, because he basically knows everything. I mean, did you see the D6 Conference? [WaltMossbergSays] (Thanks, Grant)

Flickr Adds
As of last night, Flickr/Yahoo has finally bit the bullet and added video support to their service. A cynical response might be that they clearly would like to compete with YouTube. But when reading through the FAQ and examining the system's limitations, it seems that they really are sincere in supporting "long photo" as opposed to real videos. The kind that come from your cameras, not camcorders.

Searchme: 'Cover Flow' Search Engine
Searchme is a new search engine with an obvious inspiration for its unique UI—Apple's Cover Flow. But that doesn't mean that Searchme is any less intriguing. Previewing webpages visually and filtering categories dynamically, we don't see the service usurping Google any time soon, but you might want to try out their private beta all the same. For a walk-through, hit this video complete with one of the worst voice-overs we've heard in our lives—and we did a short stint in local cable production. [searchme via techcrunch]

Payittome, a Begging Website for Gadget Addicts and Other Unfortunates
From time to time we get sob stories here at the Giz, where unfortunate souls are so enthralled with our gadget coverage that they just want that stuff sooooooo bad. Bad enough to beg us to post some publicity for their personal begging websites. Well now, here's Payittome, a "wish fulfillment" website set up specifically for those grovelers, where they can paste in a pic of the object of their desire in hopes that some generous soul will come along and grant their wish. The site's organizers are hoping advertisers will step up as the sugar daddies here, letting them bask in the glow of their generosity as they give away stuff. Good luck with that. [Payittome]

Work Friendly: Make Any Site SFW (Safe For Work)
Every once in a while we'll post a rather risque babe shot here at the Giz. Some of the more squeamish or lawsuit-prone beatches at your workplace might become uncomfortable if they steal a glance at your screen while reading one of these posts, so we have the perfect solution to that problem: Work Friendly, a website that lets you enter the URL of that favorite but sometimes not-safe-for-work site, takes out the images and makes it look exactly like an innocent Microsoft Word document on your screen.
