Want to make a few extra bucks? Pinecone Research is a great website to make some extra cash for just a few minutes of your time, while also contributing to online research.

After you sign up for Pinecone, you’ll receive emails with surveys that you qualify for. And for about 10 minutes of your time, they will either send you a check, or credit your PayPal account with $3. While it’s not a ton of money, I consider it eBay spending money, at the same time as I further Pinecone Research’s online  research.

Social Edge, sponsored by the Skoll Foundation is a global online community where social entrepreneurs connect to network, learn, inspire and share resources. started in 2003, Social Edge’s mission is to connect social entrepreneurs, create a sense of community, and to promote learing, from examples of both the good and disastrous.

Just about every time I go online, the first website I visit is ESPN.com. Whether it’s to check up on how my favorite teams are doing, or just to see the biggest headlines in sports, ESPN.com serves as a great way to see highlights of just the stuff you care about… which is very beneficial for those of us who dont have an hour to give up to watch Sports Center everyday.

But that is only scratching the surface of ESPN.com. They offer free fantasy sports for just about every sport, and when in need of a break from all your sports research, they have an arcade section offering a vast selection of games.

I know I can spend hours on the site without getting bored, and I think most people-even those with just a small interest in sports- can find something they enjoy about ESPN.com.

Creative Commons is a non-profit organization working to increase the amount of creativity in the public, adding to the amount of art available for legal sharing and reusing. The copyrights they offer grant a “some rights reserved” approach, instead of “all rights reserved”. This allows for one to keep a copyright, while still allowing certain uses of his copyright.

As Major League Baseball’s opening day approaches, many fans are eagerly anticipating that first pitch. Unfortunately for some fans, they will have to miss the majority of their team’s games because they live or go to school outside their team’s market.

A simple solution to this is buying MLB TV.  For about $100 you can watch every single game for every team. But for those of us too cheap to spend that kind of money, we’re stuck without any way of watching.

I think MLB TV should follow what CBS did with their March Madness On Demand, and offer free access to watch any baseball games. CBS generated higher profits through the traffic then they ever did when they charged for the service. Why wouldn’t it work for baseball?
