Looking for a more unique way to enjoy your music both at home and at the office? The quirky design of the Speakal iPom Flower 2.1 Speaker System just might be what you need to add a huge dash of personality into an otherwise drab cubicle. Instead of using traditional squares or even circles, this speaker system involves a couple of flowers.

The colorful blooming numbers are the two main stereo speakers, whereas the central unit is shaped like an apple and serves as the 12-watt subwoofer in this 2.1 speaker system. The space-saving design also includes humanized touch control for volume and music control to go with its bass reflex and sound stabilization technologies. This also allows for near 360-degrees of music, not to mention the ability to detach the “flower” speakers from the apple base to arrange them separately, should you so prefer.

The Speakal iPom speaker system can connect to any audio device using a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, including the iPod, iPhone, Zune, Xbox 360, notebook computer, Nintendo DS, and a variety of other input sources. It also features a USB port and an SD card reader, both of which can be used as audio sources, reading the music files directly.

Saving you a good deal of money, this clever product can be found for just $68.03 on Amazon, representing a 38% savings off the regular price of $109.99. This special price is only for the white model, which comes with red and purple flowers.

Twitter is a fantastic tool for individuals and businesses alike. It’s a great way to stay in contact with people all around the world, follow current trends, and even promote your products and services in moderation. However, many of those tweets can easily get lost in the mix.

To help recover some of the “free content” that you’re putting out there, you may want to consider the TL Tweets free WordPress theme. Yes, you could just go to your Twitter profile page to view your most current tweets, but what about your older ones? Clicking through each reverse chronological page can take ages!

This theme effectively produces a searchable tweet archive that you can host on your own servers (like through your BlueFur web hosting plan), making it much easier to refer to something you may have tweeted a day, a week, or even a year ago! Better still, because it’s WordPress, the theme is very easy to use and fully searchable (and SEO friendly to boot).

For more information, including instructions on how to use this theme properly, check out the developer’s page at ThemeLab.com.

Another week has come and gone, so let’s see what the blogosphere had to say.

Minna Van of The Network Hub has some advice for anyone considering going into business for themselves: you may not be cracked up for entrepreneurship if you’re afraid to get dirty. You can’t hide behind your computer and you might have to do things that you don’t want to do.

Vance Sova shares a video that was taken at John Chow’s last Dot Com Pho in Vancouver. The video was shot by Michael Kwan and it shows what a typical lunch gathering of dot com moguls would be like if you attended. Vance also shares his own personal experience with these weekly lunches.

Thursday Bram typically refuses to write on spec, because she wants to ensure that she is properly compensated for her work. Even so, she is writing on spec now, but she’s not scared. That’s because she has some backup measures in place, just in case the deal goes sour.

Bob Buskirk has turned over a new page in his life, having moved into a new penthouse apartment and having celebrated his 26th birthday. It’s been a hectic, but good year for Bob and he anticipates more great things to come. He’s happy, but he’s far from having his life figured out just yet.

Tyler Ingram recently experienced a life-changing event too, but it wasn’t his birthday. He proposed to his girlfriend Robyn, who can now be referred to as his fiance! A hearty congratulations goes out to the happy couple. This just goes to show you that online dating really works!

If you’ve been watching the e-book reader market evolve these last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed that the Amazon Kindle is still largely the most popular of these devices. The Apple iPad almost falls into a different category altogether, but its success needs to be considered as well.

With this in mind, how can alternatives like the Kobo eBook reader and the Barnes & Noble Nook compete? One major difference between these two offerings and the Kindle is that they are much more accessible in the real world. You can walk into a B&N store and try the Nook. You can’t, for now, walk into an “Amazon” store to try the Kindle.

That hands-on experience can win over a few people who are sitting on the fence and it seems that Amazon is recognizing that the competition could be taking away some of its potential customers. So, how is the online retailer combating its lack of real world retail presence? By partnering with existing retail stores!

There’s word that the Amazon Kindle will be sold at Staples stores soon and this may open the door to other “real world” retail experiences for the Kindle in the future. How can you apply this to your own business? If you have an online-only storefront, it may be worthwhile to consider how you can bring a real “hands-on” experience to your potential customers.

This could be by partnering up with existing stores, as is the case with Staples and the Kindle, or it could be setting up a kiosk or booth occasionally in high traffic areas. This way, real people can see your real products, rather than just an image on a computer screen.

Want to give your readers a better way to share your blog posts with their Twitter followers? You already see a number of buttons and other widgets that provide this kind of functionality, but WP-Tweetbox offers several unique features that separate it from the pack.

Instead of showing a simple button that will just redirect your visitors over to the Twitter website, WP-Tweetbox lets your readers compose the tweet while still on the same page as your original blog post. Further still, you can get the plug-in to auto-generate the tweet text ahead of time. This way, the user really can just click on “tweet” to send it out.

This WordPress plug-in supports a number of URL shortening services too, so you shouldn’t have any trouble fitting the auto-generated tweet text into the 140 character limit. WP-Tweetbox can be configured to work with Su.pr, Bit.ly, Bitly.pro, and Wp.me.

For more information, including a live demo of WP-Tweetbox, check out the plugin page at riyaz.net.
