The hottest hURRLs in 2008 / W13!

Welcome to our weekly summary of the most hURRLed websites. You can find more interesting topics on our social bookmarking portal, hURRLey.

A memorial for Gary Gygax

Some MIT students placed a 20-sided dice on their university campus – in memory of Gary Gygax, the inventor of Dungeons and Dragons. I never really got around to playing RPGs, except maybe on the PC (I played Baldur’s Gate, etc). I wonder what number the students put on top of the dice!?

Man crucified for 22nd time

OMG, that is just cruel! Apparently in the Phillipines, people actually nail other people to crosses – as a form of penance to thank God for answering to prayers. And they really do nail them to crosses. “He screamed in agony as 18-centimetre metal nails were driven into both palms and feet while lying spread-eagled over the cross.”.

That sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

US Army toyed with telepathic ray gun

The United States Army is playing with mind control devices. At least that’s what the New Scientist reported on March 21st. It says: “A recently declassified US Army report on the biological effects of non-lethal weapons reveals outlandish plans for ‘ray gun’ devices, which would cause artificial fevers or beam voices into people’s heads”.

So, perhaps everybody will behave like cattle on future battlefields. Interesting idea :/

hURRLey now has a blog!

About a month ago hURRLey, our new social bookmarking site went online. Since then we have fixed lots of bugs, implemented some new features and of course we have hURRLed many interesting sites.

You might ask yourself:”Why another social bookmarking service?”… hURRLey was created out of the need for a quick and efficient bookmarking solution for power-users. And that’s what the OS X client is all about. Using only ONE keyboard shortcut, hURRLey users are able to instantly submit their links to our website.

So… why was this blog created? First of all we wanted to have a website where we can post things such as feature upgrades, news and so on, but more importantly we wanted to find way to communicate with our users in order to find out what we can do to make hURRLey a more enjoyable experience. hURRLey is a free service and it will remain free – as we said, we just wanted to create something really cool and worthwhile!

Well, that’s it for this post. Please support hURRLey by signing up and hURRLing cool and interesting links!
