Game Break Anyone?

Listeners of the World,

In today's world you will find piles of work, stress, uncertainty, and boredom around every corner at all hours of the day! A lot of times you feel as if you need to take a "time out" or break and just clear your mind so that you can re-focus. Well some people sit and stair, read the news, surf the net, update Facebook, or do one of the many quick non-meaningful tasks to help clear ones mind - sometimes you forget to have fun in that moment. That is why I always try to play a fun, yet quick game that helps me to clear my mind and reboot!

That is where GamesJr.com comes into play. It is a fun site with many new and classic games on it that can keep you busy for hours, or for that 5-10 minutes you need to clear your head. You even have the option to just play the games without registering or logging on! This gives you the max time to just go to a site, click on a game and start playing.

Right now we are in the process of continuously adding games and adding our "Facebook App" into their directory so that you can even play our games without ever leaving Facebook. To help us with this please click HERE. So the next time you feel yourself needing a "time out", why not play a game!

Listeners of the World,

While we are waiting for the new site to be completed we have been working to make sure that the current site is updated and fresh! That is why we are still adding new features to the site like our newest island (widget) - FlickedUp Movie Reviews.

This feed is brought to you by Brett Martin who is a certified film critic and member of the BFCA (broadcast film critics association). Brett has 20 years of broadcast TV experience as an anchor, reporter, producer, and photographer. He also produces and directs high end commercials for people in real estate ( primarily vacation real estate).

Social News?

Listeners of the World,

News is an important and needed part of any person's life whether they like it or not! It is the only way to keep current with the world around us so that we can try and make better choices and understand the changes happening around us. News has been changing a lot over the past few years - how we read it, write it, perceive it, and what type we truly care about! This got our Home Office and team of developers thinking about what type of changes we could make to OurTown to make news fun and important again.

Then we set out on creating a new OurTown site keeping all of this in mind. We have added a lot of new functionality to make it very simple to upload different photos, videos, events, and articles to make sure that entering in news doesn't feel like "work". We have also brought in a "social" feel to the site allowing different local edit0rs to have friends and contributors who will have their own accounts on the site. This way you can create an online community who shares news, photos, events, etc. with not only their site, but with each other.

We are wanting to create a social news feel that will add the fun back into news! It will also give each person the feeling that they are news themselves considering the news that they are submitting is being shown across our news network. It will change the way you try to find and read news!

Please remember that this site and more news is some to come.........

Your OurTown Superhero,
