• For adult industry professionals who like to know what they're getting into, SpotCrime.com compiles and shares detailed information on crime rates all over the country.

• Active webmasters may want to check out this video to see how they might play tennis in the future.

• A new online application lets avid bloggers collaborate on one blog at the same time, all in a dynamic, Ajax-powered environment: ScribbleLive.com.

• A new bra supposedly protects women from harmful radiation from cell phones.

• FujiFilm's new camera comes with enhanced technology that'll help social-networking addicts take better pictures of themselves and their loved ones.

• For adult industry professionals who can't watch enough "X-Files" reruns, Steven Spielberg will soon be launching a new social-networking site based around UFO and paranormal enthusiasts called TheRising.com.

• It's hard to describe SmallWorlds.com, but here goes: It lets users build small virtual houses inside their web browsers, which they can then fill with fun web links and activities. It also includes ana avatar-builder and standard social-networking bells and whistles. So it's "The Sims" crossed with a news aggregator.
