Dear Useless Men, Hi, Mister Wong, Europe's largest Social Bookmarking portal, is now available in English! My name is Jodi, from Mister Wong, and I am preparing the launch of the portal for the English speaking community. Your blog Useless Advice From Useless Men caught our eye while researching. We would, therefore, like to warmly invite you to try out Mister Wong as a Beta tester. In exchange for importing your bookmarks and feedback, you will receive a Mister Wong T-shirt and a pin set. In addition, we are also giving away an iPod Nano to one of our lucky testers. What makes Mister Wong standout from other Social Bookmarking sites is that every language has its own portal and database. The <A href="http://www.mister-wong.de/" target=_blank>German version</A> alone attracts more than 2 million unique visitors a month. We´ve already successfully launched localized portals in <A href="http://www.mister-wong.ru/" target=_blank>Russian</A>, <A href="http://www.mister-wong.cn/" target=_blank>Chinese</A>, <A href="http://www.mister-wong.fr/" target=_blank>French</A> and <A href="http://www.mister-wong.es/" target=_blank>Spanish</A>. Mister Wong also offers a bunch of interesting and useful features which distinguish us from del.icio.us, such as the ability to create public and private groups. You can participate as a beta tester by visiting the following page: <A href="http://www.mister-wong.com/" target=_blank>http://www.mister-wong.com</A> Password: xxxxxx Once inside you just have to set up an account. I am very much looking forward to your feedback! Feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Have fun! Sincerely, Jodi Dear Jodi First off, I would like to thank you for inviting me to this closed networking thing you've got going on but am worried that, if it closed, I shall have nobody to network with. Plus the fact that my network is getting a bit dodgy as well. Often when I am working on the internet the connection just drops out and I have to reboot my router and modem. Any advice you can give on this issue would be welcome as our own tech support is, ...well, ..useless! I would like to commend Mister Wong on trying to bring back the beta. If he is looking for additional beta testers, I would love to get a video machine sent to the Useless Offices. We took so long in upgrading our VCR that we still have good old beta movies laying around that we'd love to watch again. Since Mister Wong obviously is an afficianado of vintage technologies, I would also ask that he consider bringing back the 8-track as well! My old car had an 8-track tape deck in it but it was damaged in a terrible incident involving a horse and a bottle of root beer. I think the music frightened it, but who would have thought horses didn't like Barry Manilow? <A href="http://www.recording-history.org/HTML/8track4.php" target=_blank><IMG alt="Check out the history of 8-track and other recording technology. Just click the radio dial!" hspace=10 src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/JPTH/BLOG/USELESSMEN/8track1.jpg" align=right vspace=10></A> Anyhow, thanks again for the invite and I look forward to seeing the new Mister Wong Beta unit on the shelves soon. It should be entertaining to see how I dock my IPod Nano with it. Sincerely, Any More Useless, I'd Be A Cat Send your questions to Useless Advice from Useless Men!
