Get Featured on Fechr

Jul 28 2007 - 10:11am | Posted by Jonny under Tech + Gadgets

Here's an interesting new site. Fechr (pronounced "feature") will feature your site on their home page (with a small header from them) for an entire 24 hours if you write a post about them. It's only free for a limited time and after that they will charge $5 which is a very minimal fee assuming they don't increase it in the future as their site gets more popular. Currently they claim to get around 500 hits a day which isn't bad. Props on the name creativity. I thought I had seen all possible Web2.0-y names but they managed to come up with this one that's a great idea but it looks like it should be pronounced "fetcher". One more gripe I have are the Buttongenerator.com buttons. Never really been a fan of that web service but I guess whatever works! ...

Natalie Portman and Jet Li in New Disney Movie ... WTF?

Natalie Portman as Snow White alongside Jet Li

This sounds something like an April Fools joke but according to the reputable Chinese site, Crienglish.com, Jet Li is reported to be co-starring alongside Natalie Portman in a new modern Disney remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

This unlikely duo will be starring in a movie with an even more unlikely plot. Natalie Portman plays a reincarnated Snow White while Jet Li plays a Chinese Shaolin monk who is sworn to protect pieces of the "magic mirror".

Protecting the magic mirror from what? Snow White's stepmother of course who is aiming for world domination by capturing Snow White and the magic mirror. Yes I am equally confused yet amused.

Given the plot, I would predict a straight to DVD movie but given the cast and the budget ($70 million US), I reckon they will get their worldwide theatrical showing. Let's see where this one goes. ...

Talk about an idiot cop... there's a fire in a neighbourhood and he gets the wrong house. He proceeds to break the windows and scares the hell out of the old woman living inside. Of course, across the street there's the house ablazing... how dense can you be?? ...
