Freezly: Automatically Aggregating Giveaways

Do you spend hours trawling through the net looking for free stuff? If yes, then how about giving the Israeli web-based start-up Freezly a whirl. Freezly searches Twitter for free items or competition-giveaways: they seem to do a reasonable job of finding a large range of items:

“In general, Freezly monitors new tweets as they come in, analyzes their content, and filters out unwanted tweets using a proprietary algorithm. Once the system determines a valid giveaway, it is added to our database…Our method is not fool-proof, but we’re constantly working to improve our algorithm and deliver you legitimate content only. And hey, we’re still in Beta… please give us a chance!”

Ever wanted to boot up any old o/s at any old time? Well, as long as you have your machine wired + good to go you can – by using a nifty l’tle aid called netboot.me:

“netboot.me works through the magic of netbooting. There are a number of ways to boot a computer with netboot.me. The simplest is to download a bootable image and burn it to a CD, USB memory stick, or floppy disk. Boot off it on any networked computer, and it will automatically fetch the latest boot options from netboot.me and let you choose from dozens of installation, recovery, testing, portable desktop and other tools. You can also start netboot.me from any computer running gPXE, or from any netbootable computer with some simple tweaks to your DHCP server.”
