Here at Crenk we have talked a lot about online movies sites and which ones are actually worth using. We have noticed on our Watch Movie Links article that a lot of users have been suggesting Hotdog Movies, so we thought we would check them out.
Hotdog Movies is a great movies directory. Unlike Watch Movies Links you arent able to watch the movies directly on Hotdog Movies, instead they direct you to the leading sources so you have a choice of where to watch the movie. We all know that most of these sites arent completely legal, but Hotdog movies is trying to provide links they are legal and can be watched anytime and without having to download any annoying software.
Anyways, check it out and let us know what you think.

EA Sports is offering a fantastic way to promote one of their most important games available, FIFA online gaming for free.
FIFA represents, even though some PES fans won’t like it, the most important and complete soccer game available. Providing important and enhanced gaming features, FIFA’s game play is surely one of the best we can find; and now is available for everyone and completely free.
This PC online version is in a beta stage and does not offer the complete suite of features we can find in the full game (which is available for PC, Xbox, PS3, etc); but the gameplay is experience is quite the same.
Includes a different mouse control option for gameplay, saying that is “easy to use but a challenge to master”. You only have to subscribe to the FIFA Online site, download an installer file (1GB) and you are ready to start an incredible online experience playing the World Cup or country leagues.
Four days ago we shared the Google TV YouTube video of the service introduction. It’s a big leap for the company who is now focused on not just getting our eyeballs on the computer, but also on our TV’s. The service will apparently be integrated in some models of TV, but for those that dont’ have that option, set top boxes will be released to get help you get your Google on.
It hasn’t even been a full week since we shared this announcement and already Logitech, known for making some amazing technology devices, most notably speakers, headsets, keyboards, and mice, has stepped into the set top box arena. Last week they announced their Google TV Box which will connect your TV to the world of Google. No price yet, but you can bet that the value will be priceless, that is, if you’re a Google fan.
The box is based on the Android platform and runs the Chrome browser. Bringing full search to your TV will hopefully create a seamless experience with your existing paid TV subscriptions. Google TV Box will run on an Intel Atom processor that will integrate with any HDTV and pre-existing set top box (TiVO?), and also come paired with a keyboard, a remote, and touchpad.
This could be a slap to the face of the Apple TV which has not seen a lot of traction since its release. Perhaps it was just an experiment, but Google has jumped on this opportunity to truly create a seamless transition between laptops/desktops and the television in your living room. It will be interesting to see how much this Google TV concept is adopted into our daily lives. What are your thoughts?
Hi5 have just acquired the gaming company ‘Big Six’ in order to flesh out the gaming sector of their website, a popular social network. Hi5 has been up an running for quite a few years now. Although it has never really taken off in Europe it is big in the US and is following the lead of others such as Facebook in terms of integrating gaming into their network.
As of now, 15% of their revenue comes from gaming by its users so I guess it makes sense to buy up a popular games developer in order to give the feature a shot of adrenaline. But they’ll have some stiff competition as the likes of FarmVille on Facebook have millions of active players.
An emphasis will also be put on developing the social network’s currency further to encourage people to spend their money there rather than on other networks.
“We are excited to be joining a company that shares our philosophy and vision for how social gaming will evolve,” said Kevin Gliner, co-founder and CEO, Big Six. “This deal is a perfect match because it enables us to accelerate our go-to-market plans by leveraging hi5’s huge global audience.”

The coming year is sure to be filled with big things for all of us. One of my personal goals is to publish my work in book format. As a writer I’ve
Self publish your work.
spent years collecting works on my personal sites that would work well in book format. The idea is to take out the middleman, publishers, and put your work in your hands by giving you the options you need to get your work out to the world. But it’s not just for writers, opportunities are abound for photographers as well who want to feature their work in magazine or calendar format.
Lulu has offered self publishing opportunities for all of us for many years now, and since its launch, has expanded it’s offerings. Take your work in one of many formats, books, ebooks, calendars, photo books, cookbooks, cd’s and dvd’s. Lulu also offers distribution services to get your book out in as many markets as possible, and the fees are minimal compared to what you’d get having to work with an agent and a publisher. I don’t want to take anything away from the traditional models that exist for publishing, they definitely have a place in the world of content publishing, but self publishing offers us so many new opportunities.
At the pro level there are many great options you have, should you choose to go this route, that mimics what working with a real publisher is like. Services include publishing packages, retail listings, children’s book packages, and all inclusive packages. Each of them come with their own distinct professional connections that as a self publisher allows you to truly get a hands on the process of getting your book out to the masses.
Exercising and technology have merged and now tracking your fitness levels has never been easier. As we approach a new year, many of us are already planning those gym memberships and in awe over dreams of losing weight. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes we need a motivator, something to encourage us. Nike+ was an excellent introduction and pairing itself with Apple forged a relationship between two of the most recognized brands in the world. Nike+ has cornered the market in min-tracking devices for your exercising habits, but perhaps their days have been numbered by a new Adidas product.

If you had a chance to update your apps today then perhaps you were surprised by an update for your Linkedin mobile app. The buzz across the media sites is Linkedin’s new shiny app that offers 100% more functionality than the prior version of the app did. For all purposes the prior version was useless. The limited functionality made it one of those apps you had because you hoped, but you just never used. Luckily, following Facebook’s recent app update, the new Linkedin app gives users more of what they want with a few interesting extras.

What’s amazing in these times of new and innovative web applications is the ability to share your knowledge, your processes and your abilities without having to get out of your chair. Screen casting has been an extremely popular way to explain something to someone using desktop visuals and such to relay the message. The type of cam you’re using is irrelevant since screen casting actually takes place internally with regards to what you see on your own screen.
