Welcome to Tonzr, the MP3 ringtone revolution. Tonzr provides you with MP3 ringtones (also known as “realtones”) for FREE. That’s right, free; and when we say free, we mean free. No hidden charges or monthly subscriptions. In fact, Tonzr has absolutely no affiliation with ANY wireless carriers, so we couldn’t put charges on your bill, even if we wanted to.
So, why use Tonzr?
- It’s free. Tonzr is completely, entirely, honestly free. Free, free, free, free. There is absolutely no hidden fees or subscriptions so you won’t have any surprises when your phone bill comes. Seriously, it’s totally free.
- Our selection. With over 8 million ringtones (and thousands being added every day), you can be sure we’ll have what you’re looking for. Not even the best pay-per-tone sites can compete with our selection.
- Ease of use. Our clean and simple site allows you to get your ringtones NOW. We don’t even require our users to sign up or log in to use our service.
- Compatibility. We’re working hard to make sure our ringtones are compatible with as many different carriers and phones as possible.
- And more… Maybe you want more than just a 30 second ringtone. With our convenient “Buy MP3″ buttons, you can download the entire song in MP3 format, directly from Amazon for as low as $0.89 per song!

Un servizio online che mette a disposizione milioni di canzoni in formato Mp3 da scaricare direttamente sul computer, con un tempo limite di 30 secondi, per essere utilizzate su cellulare.
Si tratta di un altro strumento online che consente di trovare facilmente milioni di file nel web in formato Mp3, per essere memorizzati nei cellulari sottoforma di suoneria.
Non è richiesta alcuna registrazione al servizio.
Una volta effettuato l’accesso alla home page, si dovrà semplicemente scrivere il nome della canzone o dell’artista preferito e cliccare su “Find Ringtones!” per visualizzare i risultati di ricerca.
A questo punto, si potrà ascoltare l’anteprima della suoneria cliccando sul tasto “Play” e scaricare il file nel computer selzionando il titolo della canzone e l’opzione “PC Download” dal menù a tendina.
Il servizio consentirebbe anche la possibilità di scaricare la suoneria direttamente nel cellulare, da un link inviato per SMS o MMS. Putroppo questa possibilità è riservata solo ad utenti di oltre oceano.
Gratuito.
Si chiama Tonzr

Choć nie jestem wielkim zwolennikiem Googla, twierdziłem do niedawna, że nic nie jest w stanie zagrozić jego pozycji, przynajmniej jeśli chodzi o samą wyszukiwarkę. Jednak teraz nie mam już co do tego takiej pewności, bo dowiedziałem się, jak miałby działać Wolfram Alpha.
Stephen Wolfram, który stworzył wcześniej Mathematica’e, pracuje obecnie wraz ze swoim około stuosobowym zespołem nad wspomnianą przeze mnie wyszukiwarką. Co jest tak rewolucyjnego w Wolfram Alpha? W odróżnieniu od innych, ta nie będzie wyświetlać wcale list wyników. Będzie ona po prostu odpowiadać na konkretne pytania. Jeśli więc zapytamy o wynik matematycznego działania, bądź co znajduje się na setnym miejscu po przecinku w liczbie π, uzyskamy konkretną odpowiedź.
Boję się jednak o normalne zapytania, na które zależą od interpretacji. Do nich wykorzystane mają być specjalne metody interpretowania (parsowania) języka naturalnego. Oprócz tego wbudowana ma być obsługa modeli formalnych wywodzących się z różnych dziedzin nauki. Ponoć na zamkniętych testach dla jednego z portali technologicznych, wyszukiwarka wypadła świetnie. Czy przypadnie nam do gustu, okaże się w maju, gdyż wtedy właśnie zostanie udostępniona szerszej publiczności. Ja chciałbym zobaczyć, jak wyglądałaby odpowiedź na pytanie, co politycy robią w czasie kryzysu.

Lesson Planet is offering a free 10 day trial for teachers and parents who are looking for an efficient way to find quality teacher-approved online lesson plans.
Lesson Planet, a search engine designed specifically for teachers, makes it easy for educators to search from over 150,000 teacher-qualified online lesson plans in an intuitively simple search format. Teachers can easily search for reviewed lesson plans by rating, grade level, keyword and by subject areas such as:
• Math lesson plans
• Science lesson plans
• Language arts lesson plans
• Foreign language lesson plans
• History lesson plans
• Art lesson plans
• Reading lesson plans
Access to the 10-day trial is available at https://www.lessonplanet.com/register/step-1
The Lesson Planet website was designed with busy teachers and parents in mind – allowing them to stop wasting their time endlessly sorting through search engines and non-qualified lesson plans. Teachers and parents can search for lesson plans and related state standards by keyword, grade level, rating, subject and even by calendar (to discover holiday-specific lesson plans).
All lessons are pre-qualified by specially trained, credentialed teachers who review and rate online lesson plans in their subject area of expertise. In addition, members are invited to comment on lesson plans by providing helpful pointers, teaching techniques, recommendations and lesson plan extension ideas.
Note: They ask for your credit card information, even for the free trial, so we did not review it. -editor.
The 10-day trial period is a no-commitment, no obligation exploratory period. Those who wish to continue their membership will be charged only $29.95 for a full year of access to Lesson Planet. At a cost of less than 60 cents a week, Lesson Planet is one of the most cost effective solutions for teachers and parents challenged with providing high quality educational experiences to children.
