With advance of the computer technologies, the games characters more and more remind those from the real world. The graphic quality and operational speed sometimes cause you to forget that it is your computer and not reality show.

Moove is offering capabilities for advanced chat, but chat, enhanced with almost real virtual representation. Actually, Moove gives you a key to a freely customizable 3D world. You have an unlimited number of 3D rooms that you can always create anew for private communication with full control access to these rooms and your privacy. You can easily paint your rooms, furnish them with usable furniture, and decorate them with your own pictures and graphics.

The actors' gestures and movements are completely life-like and natural - the actors can laugh, kiss, hug, walk around, jump, pull faces, and execute many more interactions and actions.

8 URL Expanders to View and Investigate Shortened Links


Several years ago, I have posted the presentation devoted to the URL shorteners, and offered there some examples of when and how they can be potentially useful for the Internet users. However, there are opposite cases, when you get short URL might hide spam link or direct you to the fishing sites in order to capture personal information, or even worse, can redirect you to malicious web sites containing dangerous malware, which is unhealthy to your computer.

If you are not sure, what can be hiding behind the short URL, and you want to expand it to the real URL address, which will allow you to make more informative decision, if you want to go there, as usual you can get help from the free Web services. These services will uncover the original links, when you submit the questionable shortened URL.

Rhyming Assistance with Poem Creation


Wikipedia defines rhyme as a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words and is most often used in poetry and songs. Rhymes might be useful not just for professional poets. They can be quite handy, when you try to create a nice greeting, party invitation, or love song. That is cool, and you will see how your rating goes up, when you produce such piece of art. But that is not easy to make it. Words are running away, and you may find it hard to use the proper rhymes during composition. Get some assistance from the Web.

Free online version of Rhymer service offers five types of rhymes:
  1. End Rhymes (blue/shoe)
    Words with ending rhyme have the same final vowel sound and following consonant sound(s). For example, if you enter the word laughter under this option, Rhymer retrieves a list of words with the ending sound er (e.g., admirer, doctor, pleasure, scholar, watercolor, and were). Other examples of ending rhyme include:
    • hat/cat
    • plate/eight
    • marigold/buttonholed
This option lets you easily find exact rhymes (words in which the final vowel and consonant sounds are the same) and masculine rhymes (rhyming words with a stressed final syllable).

  1. Last Syllable Rhymes (timber/harbor)
    Words with last syllable rhyme have the same sounds following the last syllable boundary (commonly a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant). For example, if you enter the word explain using this option, Rhymer retrieves a list of words with the last syllable sound plain (e.g., aquaplane, biplane, plane, and plain). Other examples of last syllable rhyme include:
    • humanity/zesty
    • threw/breakthrough
    • pleat/complete
This option lets you find masculine rhymes and all other words with final syllables (stressed or unstressed) that rhyme with the word you entered.

  1. Double Rhymes (conviction/prediction)
    Words with double rhyme have the same vowel sound in the second-to-last syllable and all following sounds. For example, if you enter the word soaring using this option, Rhymer retrieves a list of words with the sound oring (e.g., adoring, exploring, pouring, scoring, touring, and restoring). Other examples of double rhyme include:
    • walking/talking
    • humming/coming
    • navigator/waiter
This option lets you find feminine rhymes (rhyming words with an unstressed final syllable). Words entered using this option must have at least two syllables.

  1. Beginning Rhymes (physics/fizzle)
    Words with beginning rhyme have the same initial consonant sound(s) and the same first vowel sound. For example, if you enter the word plantation using this option, Rhymer retrieves a list of words with the sound pla (e.g., plan, plaque, plaster, and plateau). Other examples of beginning rhyme include:
    • scenery/cedar
    • cat/kangaroo
    • table/tailor
This option lets you find words with initial alliteration (the repetition of initial consonant sounds), initial assonance (the repetition of initial vowel sounds), and front rhyme (the succession of beginning sounds of words).

  1. First Syllable Rhymes (carrot/caring)
    Words with first syllable rhyme have the same sounds preceding the first syllable break. For example, if you enter the word explanation using this option, Rhymer retrieves a list of words with the sound ex (e.g., excavate, exhale, expert, and extra). Other examples of first syllable rhyme include:
    • pantaloons/pantomimes
    • highlight/hydrant
    • tulip/twosome
