Just before graduating high school together in 2000, Gershon and Levich started selling hip-hop-style watches and jewelry on eBay.

As hip-hop lovers themselves, the two quickly found a following of other consumers hungry for accessories. With their success on eBay, Gershon and Levich started their own retail website, Icedoutgear.com, with offerings ranging from LED belt buckles to chains and faux-bejeweled pimp cups.

Liberman, another high school pal, joined up in 2003 and helped his friends launch the company's wholesale division -- Hip Hop Wholesale. Today, their merchandise has been used in promotions for Miller Genuine Draft and The World Series of Poke.

BigString is a new service that lets you have better control over the emails you send out to others.

BigString is a new service that lets you have better control over the emails you send out to others.

With this service, you can self-destruct or change an email that’s already been sent and/or read. Instead of worrying about the messages you send to others being available in their inbox, you can now destroy them as a way to protect your privacy. In addition, BigString offers a way to prevent your personal identification info from remaining in someone else’s inbox as well, restricting private images or messages from being spread further online. You can also reword a message that’s already been sent, revise a document you’ve sent along, or set an expiration date for emails. As added protection, recipients are unable to

You’ll need to send messages from BigString in order to use this free service. Most of these options can only be chosen one at a time, so if you want a self-destructing message, it won’t be able to be recalled at a later time. There aren’t really many ways to let your recipients know that a message is going to self-destruct, so you may end up making a few people upset or just downright confused, especially if they ever associate BigString with you having something to hide. For things like self-destructing emails, the mail will remain in the recipients inbox, but the actual message will be deleted. As added protection, recipients are unable to copy and paste the message text. Pretty nifty.

DayTradingOnlineStocks.com the idea is to trade information and advice about day trading and penny stocks

At DayTradingOnlineStocks.com the idea is to trade information and advice about day trading and penny stocks; there is some very helpful information about this, but the site is too young to have a lot of info about anything at this point there are only 151 posts in 54 topics by 144 members. Most of the posts are helpful and informative but a lot of the posts are totally unrelated to the subject matter at all, for instance, today's most read post is about the hypocrisy of John Edwards. A large percentage of the posts are very related to the subject but suppose occassionally the contributors like to go on rants about other things as well, if you wish to get the most out of your hedge fund researching experience, be sure to stay focused on the site.
The site is a great resource for those looking into getting into day trading and/or hedge funds. As of now there is a bindle of information that should continue to grow.
