Do You Think a Social Network For the Dead Is Creepy?
Well, it had to happen. First we got basic social networks like MySpace and Facebook, then LinkedIn for work, Twitter and Pownce for micro-blogging and mini-updates, and well, at least chronologically, it makes sense: A social network for the dead. Citing the online grieving that occurs on MySpace after someone dies, Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor is launching Tributes.com this June, so that people have a central place for online memorials.

2007 is the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars Saga, which means you better gear up for a year of tributes and shout-outs to the geeky phenomenon. My homage to the series?

Tribute to Apple? Pixelated Apple Cutting Board
Even in the kitchen, I tend to relate actual apples to you know, the Apple. I can't resist it (and neither could Gossip Girl, apparently).
So is this Pixelated Cutting Board from Chiasso, $28, a clever play on the company Apple, considering its namesake fruit is digitally rendered on the board?

As the world continues to come to grips with the death of Michael Jackson, the loving tributes are starting to pop up.
The geekiest thus far (and my personal favorite) is Billie Tweets, a website that streams Jackson's hit Billie Jean and then matches real-time tweets to it.
So that means that if you're on Twitter and one of your tweets contains a lyric to the song, it may be getting pulled to Billie Tweets right then to complete the song.
