Always wanted to know how popular you are on the Internet? With StarFactor you'll be able to find out with one click.

StarFactor is a Facebook application that calculates your StarFactor by using Live Search results. The more results Live Search finds on the web about you, the higher your StarFactor. Once you know your own StarFactor, you can check out your friends’ StarFactor by inviting them. And try to beat them!

In case someone else with the same name shows up in your StarFactor results, you can easily refine them so that only relevant search results are showing up linked to your profile. Not satisfied with your StarFactor? Try to boost it by sharing stories, pictures or videos on the world wide web.

This is my StarFactor for the moment...I bet it won't be difficult to beat this? Just add StarFactor now if you're curious...

Crosswire: "The Phrase Matching Game"

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 13:30:46 GMT

Up for a little challenge? Want to test your knowledge about things such as 'movie roles played by Michael Caine', 'Webber/Rice Musicals' or Volcano's? Then come and play Crosswire. Just a few days ago we launched this game or quiz in 6 European countries: Belgium, France, Italy, The Netherlands, UK and Sweden. The game originates from the US, where our colleagues launched it a few months ago as part of their Live Search Club.

So how does it work? You will need to pair the facts on the left side with the facts on the right side. Once all pairs are matched you can go to the next round. Complete the first 2 Crosswire rounds to get to the Highwire round to win the game.

The challenges will depend on the country you're playing it in, but they aren't too easy. But still quite a bit of fun as well though. And if ever you need help finding the answer, we've built in Live Search to help you out.

Here are the links if you want to go and check it out:

Have fun!
