Are you the type of person who can't make up their mind? If you have a hard time answering that question, then Yes No Maybe is for you. Think of it as your personal crystal ball for those tough moments when you need an opinion from an unbiased outside source.

The site is as complicated as it sounds. Just type your question into the big white box and click the "Ask" button when you're done. Then, through the miracle of modern technology, your question will be answered in big huge letters across the top of the screen along with its corresponding background color - green for yes, yellow for maybe, and red for no. It really is that simple.

Note: If you haven't figured it out already, Yes No Maybe only works with questions that are not open-ended, and can only be answered with yes, no, or maybe.

Have fun, and don't take any of the answers too seriously! There is no one sitting behind a computer reading and answering all of the questions you ask! At least, I don't think there is..........

I'm actually glad I landed on this site. It's one of my favorites...or should I say, one of my favorite favorites. If We Don't, Remember Me (or "IWDRM") has a simple concept, yet speaks a thousand words. It is sure to bring back feelings of nostalgia and put a smile on your face. However, for those of you who are creeped out by still shots with moving eyes (or moving anything for that matter), this website is probably not for you.

Now before you start thinking these are gif's, think again. Living movie stills are much more realistic, put together much cleaner, and, as you will find, have a lasting effect on you even after you're done looking at them.

With that said, if you're a fan of living movie stills then this is definitely a site you should check out. Even if you're not a fan, or have never seen a living movie still in your life, you will be amazed by these. Guaranteed.

Some of the stills I've come across that I really like are American Psycho, Fight Club, and Vertigo, among many others. Here you will find both newer movies as well as classics, and you will not be disappointed!

Micro jobs are becoming more and more popular across the web, as more people need small jobs and tasks done but don't want to pay a huge amount of money to do so. Likewise, micro job listings are also convenient for people who want to offer their services to the public and put their talents and abilities to good use.

This is where 3 to 30 comes in. Here you will find an array of listings made by people who are offering their services to anyone who is interested. From anywhere between $3 and $30 (hence the name), you can have a variety of different things done.

For example, under the "Advertising" category you may see posts such as "I'll advertise your company on my blog for $3" and "I'll give you a list of online marketing techniques for $8." In the "Writing and Editing" category, you may find a post that reads "I will proofread and edit your e book for $15." There are many other categories which include "Music and Audio", "Business", "Social Marketing" and many more. There is even a category dedicated to "Silly Stuff" where you may find listings such as "I'll create a top magazine cover with your photo for $4" and "I'll convert pictures to avatars for $10."*

Anyhoo, it's worth trying out and if anything you'll have a few laughs seeing some of the things people actually post on here!

In honor of the first "Seriously? Saturday" post, I wanted to include a website that is - without a single doubt in the world - pointless.

On PleaseWait.co.uk, you will find a page with a classic sand timer (what most of us have as an automatic mouse feature to indicate when we are waiting for something to load) and simple black type font spelling out two words. Can you guess what they are?

I've been going crazy brainstorming new features I want to add to the site (which no one reads, but it's still fun to add to just in case someone reads it someday lol).

I've already implemented one new feature into the site last week, which was "Blind Bookmark Friday" (believe me, I tried to find a word beginning with "f" so it would sound a lot better, but couldn't think of anything that made sense. I had it narrowed down to either "Blind Bookmark Friday" or simply "Favorites Friday", because I couldn't think of a catchy adjective to go in front of "favorites", which is the reason I stuck with the former. I know it sounds ridiculous but hey, gimme a break, I'm not an expert in the catchy titles department! >:( .....)

This time, in honor of the last few random websites I've come across while site exploring, I have decided to implement another special day into the mix. Readers (that don't exist), say hello to "Seriously? Saturdays".

"Seriously? Saturdays" are now dedicated - in a nutshell - to those usually pointless websites that leave you scratching your head and thinking to yourself... Someone seriously took the time out of their lives to create this site?

What you think of these websites is your own opinion. Some of you may find them interesting, some of you will laugh, and some of you will wonder why you didn't think of a website like that first! Everyone has their own opinion. Please remember this is all in good fun and that inclusion of the websites in a "Seriously? Saturday" post is not meant to be insulting or to insinuate anything negative.

So, with that said, enjoy your future "Seriously? Saturdays" and feel free to comment on how I'm doing, ask a question, or even suggest a website you'd like to see on here!

....And you know what that means!

Welcome to the Wall to Wall Websites very first Blind Bookmark Friday! As promised, I scrolled blindly through my ever-growing list of favorites, and the website I landed on is something I'm sure everyone can enjoy (phew!). The very first pick for Blind Bookmark Friday belongs to:

GeneratorLand.com is a name generator website. There are about 75 different generators that you can choose from, including the Blog Post Idea Generator, Facebook Status Generator, Screen Name Generator, Horror Movie Title Generator, Reality Show Generator, and so many more.

There is even an option to create your own generator. The way you do this is first you will be presented with eight boxes on the screen. Each box has a drop down menu, and each drop down menu has the exact same options, such as Adjectives, Colors, Emotions, Interjections, Nouns, Sandwich Ingredients, Transitions, Numbers, First Names, and again, so many more. One of the options you can choose is simply the word "And".

Once you pick all of your options (anywhere from 1 to 8), you click the "Test Your Generator" button. If you like what you see (and it makes sense), you can choose a name for the generator, a description, and even pick the background theme you would like your generator to have. If you would like to save what you made you need to register with the site first.

There is also a Generator Land Store where you can buy promotional items like shirts, hats, bags, buttons, stickers, and more. Also, Generator Land members earn points by creating cool stuff and supporting other members. The highest level is "Emu", second is "Kinkajou", third is "Capybara", and last is "The Rest", which the majority of the members are listed under because they are "still building up their generator land portfolios".

I think that about sums it up! Have fun!

Ahh, vending machines. We love 'em when they generously spit out an extra soda for us, and hate 'em when they give us nothing at all. Well, love 'em or hate 'em, one thing's for sure: They're convenient, cheap, and full of variety (okay that's three things - so shoot me).

I don't know about you, but there's been one too many times that I've had to endure the vending machine walk of shame because it either ate my money, spit out the wrong product, or conveniently ran out of the particular snack I wanted.

Enter VendASnack.com, the virtual vending machine that carries all of the traditional vending machine favorites yet never runs out of anything! Cleverly set up like a real vending machine, you simply click on the snack you want and choose your desired amount. You can order as many different snacks as you want, as long as you order at least 24 snacks altogether. Whether you choose to order 24 of the same snack or 24 different snacks is up to you, but the site requires that at least 24 snacks - which they call a "snack pack" - be purchased. Each snack costs $1.00, and the most you can purchase of one individual snack is 24 (so if you want 24 Snickers bars, jump right in!). Twenty-Four snacks for $24.00...not bad at all!

If that's not enough to get you to check out the site, maybe the fact that they have free shipping on ALL orders (no matter how big or small) will! Choose from categories such as chocolate, candy, cookies & crackers, gum & mints, and more! How convenient is that? Head to the site and get your snack on!

I've been brainstorming ideas for new features to add to the site, and though I came up with quite a few, this one minor but potentially interesting addition took the cake.

From now on, every Friday will officially be "Blind Bookmark Friday". What this means is that every Friday I will randomly and blindly scroll through my huge and ever-growing list of bookmarked websites/favorites with my eyes closed, and whichever website is highlighted when I open them is the one I will be posting for that day.

Now before you start rolling your eyes, you should know that I dedicate a good portion of my life to the discovery of new websites. I have literally thousands of them bookmarked already and the list grows everyday.

I very much hope that you enjoy your "surprise website", but please keep in mind that the process of finding the website is completely random. Therefore, you may or may not particularly enjoy the website that is chosen. Remember, it can be absolutely anything!

With that said, I am now implementing "Blind Bookmark Friday" into the content of Wall to Wall Websites, and hopefully you will enjoy your completely random surprise websites as much as I do!

Keep an eye out for future notices regarding site changes, and bookmark this page for those days where the same old websites just won't cut it!

     If we say something to someone in the real world, these words may be forgotten over time, however on Facebook everything we post stays on our page indefinitely for all to read. We share our thoughts, deepest emotions, and for some, our entire lives.

   But where does all this information go? With StatusHistory.com you are able to see statistical data such as which status update generated the most "Likes", how many status updates you've posted in the past two years, which friends commented on and "Liked" your statuses, and more.

     Also, you can look at a list of all of your past status updates, and for each one view the date and time, the number of "Likes" and the number of comments. You can also narrow the list down by choosing specifically which friend(s) you would like to see comments and/or "Likes" from. Furthermore, you can search your statuses by keyword if you're looking for a status update containing a specific word or topic.

   I don't know about you, but this website surely peaked my interest. If you're interested in seeing your statistical facebook data, head to StatusHistory.com.

     This is probably one of the coolest websites I've seen in a while. With Mosaickr, you are able to create picture and photo mosaics in a few easy steps. You can choose to use their free public version, or for a price you can have access to the commercial version, with more tools and options.

This website is very simple to use, but the end result is anything but. First, you'll need to choose a master image, which is the main image you would like to have as your ending result. Then, you get to pick your tile images - all 200 to 500 of them - from either your Flickr albums, or the albums from other Flickr members.

     When you're done with the previous steps, the last step is to choose the format for your mosaic. You can request to have it sent in jpg format for free, or you can choose from other options which require payment, such as a high definition mosaic poster, among others.

   Within a day or two, your one-of-a-kind, professional-looking mosaic will be delivered to you by e mail, and believe me, you will not be disappointed!

If you're getting sick of eBay and their constant changing of rules and regulations, you may enjoy using Listia - an auction based website that uses a credit system in place of actual currency.

The rules are pretty much the same as a regular auction website, except with Listia you get everything for free!

Every auction starts out at zero credits (points). Users bid on the auction using credits they received from signing up, referring friends, selling their own stuff, completing special offers, and more. When the auction ends, the user who bid the most amount of credits wins! The winner gets the item, and the buyer receives the credits that they can use for something else on Listia.

"We make it easy for you to give away stuff you don't need anymore and get stuff you want in return for free", the site boasts. "If you enjoy giving and getting items for free, then you'll love Listia!"

If you want to laugh, cry, and scratch your head all on the same website, Dear Blank, Please Blank is the way to go. This website would be easier explained by giving examples from the site itself, so that I will do.

What you will find here is just what the name of the site says - blanks that have been filled in creatively by other people. Some are funny ("Dear Waldo, Please return my invisibility cloak A.S.A.P, Sincerely, H. Potter"), some are sad ("Dear War in Iraq, Please end soon. Sincerely, I miss my dad"), some are inspiring ("Dear you, Smile. You're beautiful. Sincerely, Me"), and some are just strange ("Dear Poop, I haven't eaten corn in days, Sincerely, WTF?!?!"), but no matter what your cup of tea, this is one of those websites that you can easily get lost in.

You also have some choices. You can choose to create, rate, and/or moderate content on the site. Creating is self explanatory - just create your own "Dear Blank, Please Blank" (and fill in the blanks). As far as rating content submitted by other users, you have a variety of "rating buttons" to choose from, including "I like this", "How dare they", and "Hilarious", among a few others. If you choose to moderate, the site will give you random content that has not yet been reviewed. You can choose to read it, and if you like it and it looks right to you (grammar and spelling should also be taken into account), choose "yes". If not, choose "no". It's that easy. Entries that get a lot of "yes" responses are automatically accepted and will be posted on the site for all to see.

So what are you waiting for? Go fill in the blanks!

There is certainly nothing dumb or little about this website, but it is written by a man. A man named Jay White who came up with a great idea and acted on it.

"Dumb Little Man" (a title which Mr. White himself says came completely out of nowhere) is a compilation of articles written and submitted by readers of the website.

Originally, White included sites, tips, ideas, and resources that he himself found helpful. However, as his sales career began to expand, he found himself having less time to work on his blog. So, he was faced with a tough choice: He could either close DLM, or allow his audience to prove that they have something substantial to share. "I quickly decided that sharing info trumped the ego boost of being the sole writer on DLM", White said. "There simply is no master of everything, so there is no value in claiming to be one."

With that, White decided to open the doors and allow anyone to share stories, tips, and advice. And what a great idea it was. At the time of writing the "About" section of his website, over 17 million people had already visited the site!

You really can't go wrong here. With a list of categories including DLM's most popular posts, over 1700 articles, and of course, the option of submitting articles yourself, Dumb Little Man has definitely lived up to its potential.

As far as my opinion of the site, let's just say I planned on skimming it and ended up spending over an hour browsing through and reading many of the very well-written articles!

From "12 Tricks Your Brain Is Playing On You" to "How To Cure The Winter Blues", you are sure to find tons of articles that will keep you busy for as long as your little heart desires.

I have learned SO much from this website already. The articles are very interesting - not boring and drawn out. Possibly because White weeds out the bad (e.g. poorly written, poor grammar, etc) articles and only publishes the good.

Bottom Line: This website is a wonderful reference and has all the tips for life you've ever wanted to know. But don't take my word for it. Click the link and see for yourself!

I love riddles, games, brain teasers, and optical illusions. BrainBashers.com has all of these on their webpage. With over 100 awards won, BrainBashers is the go-to place to get your riddle and brainteaser fix. Each topic has a separate category, making the kind of brain basher you're looking for much easier to find. With categories for Puzzles, Games, Illusions, Sudoku, and Fun Stuff, you're sure to find your brain craving for the day and dig in.

You will find many crosswords, cryptograms, arcade games, strategy games, mind games, mazes, jigsaws, and the list goes on...and on...and on (and that doesn't even put a DENT in the amount of games and fun stuff you'll find on here!).

There are literally hundreds of games and puzzles on this site. Trust me, it's addicting!

Launched in August, 2007, PhotoFunia.com is a website that lets you add cool effects and create photo montages. Choose from over 100 different photo effects with different themes and images, and incorporate your uploaded photo into your selected choice.

PhotoFunia's proprietary technology automatically identifies the face in the photo and allows you to create these awesome one-of-a-kind photographs.

Some examples of the kinds of photos you can create are your face on a billboard, on television, in a mirror, in an animated page-turning book, being drawn by an artist, dancing, as Santa Claus, as a hockey player, on a coffee mug, as a dress pattern, in the reflection of a human eye, and so many more.

When you're done with your photos you can save them to your computer, share them on your website or blog, or send as a postcard. I had a lot of fun playing around with this.

Want to meet awesome strangers? Then you've come to the right place! BlurryPeople.com lets you do just that by enabling you to use your webcam to meet other people using theirs. The catch is that at first, the other person will look completely blurry to you (and vice versa).

After you talk to the person for a few minutes, the video feed begins to slowly come into focus. If you're done talking once the image comes into view, you can choose to "say ciao and rate the stranger" as the site says, or of course you can choose to continue your conversation if you like what you see (and read).

The site really doesn't give out much info besides that, and there isn't an "About" section either. In order to sign up the site requires you to have - and turn on - your webcam. BlurryPeople also points out that if you're looking for the same kind of website without the requirements of a webcam, you can try the website tjetter.com (which I have yet to check out myself).

BlurryPeople also allows you to rate each other on personality and appearance at the end of the conversation. The site also states that "if people think you're awesome, that'll allow you to filter out non-awesome people."

Blippy: Where people obsessivly write reviews about everything they buy. Blippy is a free website that allows you to share your purchases with your friends and see what they're buying online and in real life. Blippy lets you talk about and share purchases with friends by syncing your e-commerce account (such as eBay, Netflix, iTunes, etc) to your blippy account so you can automatically have each purchase, including past purchases, post to your account for you to review. You can also choose to manually accept each purchase you make before posting it to your Blippy account.

With the exception of pornographic material, anything violent, and copyrighted material, you can pretty much post a review about most anything on Blippy.

They also have a section dedicated to Lists (such as "Weirdest Apps of All Time" and "TV shows That You Forgot About") that you can follow and a "Talk" section, which is basically a forum.

The only gripe I have with this site is that it doesn't have Amazon.com as one of the accounts available for linking. I did notice, however, that it lists eBay and Etsy as well as about 25 or so more websites available for synching. It also allows you to import your credit or debit card information so you can post reviews on anything you purchase with your card. I, personally wouldn't do this because of safety concerns, but that's just me.

Another site I absolutely love is Bevshots.com. It's so out of the ordinary and unexpected...and that's why I love it! This site features artwork of what alcohol looks under a microscope. Awesome, huh? You wouldn't believe how unbelievably beautiful these photographs are!

"Bevshots are posh prints of beers, wines and cocktails photographed under a microscope and featured as modern art. An intoxicating blend of art and science, BevShots' vibrant colors and distinctive patterns bring an edgy element to any room. BevShots easily mix in with today’s trends in abstract décor. As the ultimate conversation piece, BevShots make the perfect splurge for yourself or a truly unique gift for friends and family. With prices starting at just $24.99, contemporary art has never been more affordable."

Each BevShot has a unique design and color combination. You can customize each shot by choosing the size, shape and frame. They have both prints and Fine Art, so there are various prices from low to high to choose from. Also included is a Picking Your Perfect Piece Page, in which you can use tips from interior designers to help pick the right piece for your wall.

I came across a few different versions of this website, all having pretty much the same concept. This is a "simple sine wave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16-step sequencer", as the website states. "Each triggered step causes a force on the underlying wave-map which makes it [cuter]." Based on the Audio Tool Engine.

I had so much fun with this! It's definitely something you can get lost in. Each box you click has its own little sound. As you continue clicking the boxes, the sounds slowly begin to come together and form a "song". It's really neat.

     "We know you've got something interesting to say. Plinky is here to help you say it in a fun and compelling way."

   ...Ok so maybe their "tagline" is a bit dorky(I'm assuming it's their tagline. Sounds like one, doesn't it?), but this site is actually pretty decent.

     If you like answering questions...LOTS of questions...you'll love Plinky. There's a new question to answer everyday. I'm not just talking about questions like "What's your favorite color?". These questions are deeper and more meaningful, and usually require a somewhat longer answer.

     Some examples of the questions you'll find on Plinky include "Ten years ago, would you expect that your life would be anything like it is today?", as well as "Do you blog? Why or why not?, and also "What scents bring back vivid memories for you?".

     Plinky also lets you read answers given by other users, as well as follow people and share your answers to facebook and twitter. Also, after you answer a question (or a "prompt", as they call it) and are ready to post, you will be able to choose the option of having your prompt posted directly to your blog page or "service" by linking it with Plinky. To enable this option, you will need to go to the "Add Services" page and add the services you want to link. The services currently supported by Plinky include Blogger, LiveJournal, Tumblr, TypePad, WordPress.com, WordPress.org and Xanga.

   You can also save your favorite answers created by other users, comment on answers, suggest prompts, and add pictures to your answers.

     Let the interrogation begin!

I came across this website not too long ago and I had so much fun with it. I’m not sure when it actually first came out, but it was awesome!

It’s basically a movie trailer that you make yourself. There are nine spots for nine different characters of your choosing. You can have the site choose nine random people directly from your facebook friends, or you can do it the D.I.Y. way and upload your own photos from your computer and enter in the names yourself.

Note: If you do not fill all of the nine slots, the trailer will not be “complete”, so if you want the full effect of this website you should pick nine different people.

After choosing your cast, you have the option of controlling just how scary you want your trailer to be. After you have chosen, the trailer will load and you get to sit back and watch your awesome creation!

Have fun!
