"While Estenson says CNN will integrate some of Zite's backend technology into CNN.com and other mobile properties, Zite will remain independent. And even in that awkward position--of potentially aggregating content from competitors--CNN can still make money through advertising, which the company plans to implement in the future."

Also, the connection between "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" and ""Dragostea din tei" (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdraɡoste̯a din tej], English: Love from the Linden Trees),[1] also informally known as "The Numa Numa Song" (or "Mai Ya hee" – see lyrics), [...] the most successful single by the Moldovan pop group O-Zone, sung in Romanian."

Now, do you know anything about "Dragostea Din Tei" ?
If you live in Europe, you may have heard/seen it, clap-danced on it, had a good time...
If you live in USA, you may have heard/seen "Numa, numa"...
If you in Burkina Faso......you can refresh your memory now. :)
""Dragostea din tei" (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdraɡoste̯a din tej], English: Love from the Linden Trees),[1] also informally known as "The Numa Numa Song" (or "Mai Ya hee" – see lyrics), is the most successful single by the Moldovan pop group O-Zone, sung in Romanian.
It shot to the number one spot on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it remained for 12 weeks between June and early September 2004.[2]
It reached number one in Germany and stayed there for 14 weeks, number three in the United Kingdom and 72 on the U.S. Pop 100, and it was number one for 15 weeks in France.
A popular cover of the song was made by Haiducii, which also charted in many countries, especially Italy and Sweden where it topped the singles charts.
The original song was made notable in the United States by the viral video of Gary Brolsma dancing to the song, calling it "Numa Numa".
In 2008, the song's hook was sampled by T.I. / Rihanna in their hit "Live Your Life", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and reached number two in the United Kingdom."

"Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a franchise, founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. The Believe It or Not panel proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, a chain of museums, and a book series.
The Ripley collection includes 20,000 photographs, 30,000 artifacts and more than 100,000 cartoon panels. With 80-plus attractions, the Orlando-based Ripley Entertainment, Inc., a division of the Jim Pattison Group, is a global company with an annual attendance of more than 12 million guests. Ripley Entertainment's publishing and broadcast divisions oversee numerous projects, including the syndicated TV series, the newspaper cartoon panel, books, posters and games."
- Williamsburg – This Ripley's Museum opened in 2006. It has 11 galleries and over 300 exhibits. There is also a 4D theater that shows 3D movies with added effects (air, water, scent, etc.)"
"South Carolina
- Myrtle Beach – This Ripley's museum looks like a building cracked by a hurricane. It features an animatronic band playing the song "Dragostea Din Tei," an optical effect where you feel like you are being flipped upside-down, and a collection of tombstones with strange engravings. It is at the corner of 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. Ripley's has five other attractions in the area besides the museum: an aquarium, a moving-theater attraction, an arcade, a haunted house, and a house of mirrors."

Top 30 Stamp Collecting Blogs, by guidetoartschools.com

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

- Maximum Delight
- Feb 21, 2011
Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
