How to Do Everything in Google Buzz – Google’s new social media service Google Buzz will show up in your Gmail account this week. Here’s how to customize and use Buzz–or opt out of its inbox-cluttering updates completely.

Kumby.com – a site that streams hundreds of anime series online. The site features discussion forums, series information, movie reviews, games, and a chat room.

obooko – a new website devoted to giving new writers the opportunity to test-the-water before committing to print. And for established authors to promote their work.
