E-commerce solution is hard to use and customer support is bad - I tried AspDotNetStorefront because everyone was raving about its features and flexibility. I am not a programmer, but I had a very hard time setting up the software, and the admin tools were hard to use as well. To make matters worse, customer support was slow and not especially helpful once I got a hold of them.

If you're an experienced programmer, AspDotNetStorefront might be a great e-commerce solution, but for people who don't program or are beginners, AspDotNetStorefront is just too hard to use. After I gave up on AspDotNetStorefront, I started using Shopsite which, so far, has been a lot easier.

Shopping cart is easy to set up and use for beginners and non-programmers - After struggling with aspdotnetstorefront, I was pleasantly surprised to find ShopSite's shopping cart e-commerce solution to be fairly easy to set up and use. They have these great icons which makes navigating the software easy and even a little fun. I'm still playing with the various features, but so far it seems to do everything I want. I would definitely recommend ShopSite for beginners and store owners with non-technical backgrounds.

Gossip blog, anyone? - Gawker Stalker is sooo addictive. I wish I could follow celebrities around all day.

I know it's trashy, but I love Page Six. - It doesn't make me feel proud, but there is nothing more entertaining than celeb gossip, and Page Six is the best.

Oysters are so good at this hidden gem... - My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary, and I loved it. It's a cozy little restaurant near Union Square with amazing raw food--fish, oysters and even beef. Everything is so fresh. I particularly liked the oysters and fish raw samplers. My BF got the monk fish, which was cooked, but also very good. For some reason the place doesn't seem to packed, so come while you can before everyone discovers this hidden gem.

Dork gossip - But still entertaining!

Not very good, but I like to hear about Beltway trash - I don't much like Ana Marie Cox--book was trash--and the site is mediocre, at best. But I do love my dirt on politicians.
