We recently talked about an easy way to clear up email notifications, but that doesn’t mean Facebook notifications themselves aren’t still a problem. These notifications are great when they actually pertain to you and are relevant to what is currently going on in your life, but sometimes they simply don’t. It gets really annoying, and yes… this is all silly.

Besides being a faceless entity whose words you only read based on snazzy headlines, I’m also a part-time human being! With that being said, I actually do look through all the sorts of comments you leave me, emails you send, and places you share my work (I believe that my fellow authors can say the same). So with that being said, I just wanted to tell you the kinds of feedback that I like after folks read whatever blog post that I’ve written.

Do you get way too many notification emails from your favorite social services? Is it always “Uncle Henry needs you to perform CPR on his sheep in FarmVille!” or “Bob Thagyudunno’s birthday is today!” Gets annoying, doesn’t it? Fortunately, a couple of guys put their brains together and came up with Notification Control – your one-stop shop for getting rid of all of your least favorite junk email.

I recently found out all about Fiverr – a website that offers odd jobs to people for only five bucks a pop (with the occasional paid extras) – and as you may be able to guess, a site like this is going to offer a lot of similarly strange services. So I did what anyone would do, and I jumped right into finding some of the weirdest stuff that Fiverr has to offer.

Let’s be straight – blogging is fun and blogging is cool, there’s no doubt about that. Of course, it can also be used by middle-school girls who believe that everyone in the world wants to know about the new pair of shoes they just bought. With this being said, I haven’t really told you anything you should ignore when writing your personal blogs.

As an occasional personal blogger, I have seen a lot of other folks in the blogosphere who just want to write personal publications that are not exactly meant for making money. I really like that, actually. We need more people who just want to share their stories in this world. However, some of you may be wanting to start your own blog, and I thought I’d drop a few of my personal tips.

Based on what I’ve seen, Stickies (the desktop version – not the dashboard) is a built-in Mac app that doesn’t seem to get a whole lot of love. However, in all truth, it’s actually an extremely useful tool whether you want to use it for a long-term project or something simply short term. As a virtual form of the standard office sticky note, it definitely packs a punch.

Here on MakeUseOf, we like to take on the occasional brain-teaser or word puzzle. Fortunately, I’ve found a site called A Game A Day (stylized “AgameAday”) – a great way to go throughout the year and enhance your thinking skills. Despite its old school design, this site provides some fairly decent Java script games that are easy to use and fun to play. So if you have some time, you should definitely take a look.

There are a lot of different profile pictures that exist on social networking platforms, but sometimes they can get a little corny or too repetitive. However, we’ve already seen all of the usual suspects – duckface, mirror shot, gangsta sign….there’s more to life than duck hunting, people. Here are five other cliché profile pictures that are currently on the market.

I’m quite sure that some of you out there are wondering where to find royalty free music whether you’re a videomaker, a game developer, or one of those neo-artist stage performance poets that uses a combination of visual imagery, weird music, and the occasional bit of innocent nudity. So with that being said, I’m here to bring you some quality royalty free music.
