Tip Jar, Anyone?
Posted by Ching Ya | Posted in Fun n Games |

It’s a hard time for everyone, the recession, the job-layoffs.. we need some killer ideas to survive. And what did Google come up with? A gigantic Tip Jar.
They’re giving out money???
Nooooo… they’re collecting money saving TIPS for everyone to share/vote. Sort of like a mini forum, where you get to post threads, but the difference is, you only get to say ‘Agree’, ‘Disagree’, or Flag it as inappropriate.
Just what kind of ideas are there?
Comes in various topics: health, at home, at work, travel, shopping etc. For instance,
“Pay your bills online to save on postage”
“STOP smoking today!”
“Press Cltl+K to go directly to search box on the top right in Firefox”
… are some of the popular ones. (“Didn’t I know these already??” ok, move along)
Want to be a contributor? Easy:
1. Log in using your Google Account.
2. Pick the category you wish to view/ submit ideas.
3. Decide your displayed Nickname & Location (optional).
4. Ready to submit your tip.
5. There, it’s on the list.
Can’t find it? Probably at the far end of the list. Try ‘search’, and look for the last page, it should be there. Why? Ever heard of first come, first served? And you probably need to wait awhile for people to notice & vote enough for your idea to be on the front pages.
When will I get noticed? Your guess is just as good as mine. So you better putting down some brilliant ideas for trendy issues. Or try to be FAST on the ideas. Which reminds me on how the world works, even the blogosphere. =P
So, Idea-LESS? Or Overwhelmed with tons of tricks, you could all take a dive in the big Jar. Currently there are over 45,000 votes cast on 3200 tips by nearly 4200 people. As how the big G likes to put it ‘Take a Tip, Share A Tip’.
Wanna Try? Did it benefit you in anyways?

Hi, Yan! Am I? haha.. I think I’m still quite Idea-less most of the time. And Time-less.. Yeah!! Which reminds me, I should search for tips on how to STEAL more time. Could there just be anybody suggesting or even willing to lend me some of their times???? =P
Hi Ching Ya,
Good post…I thought tips meant more money in your pocket. You’re done a good job of explaining tips.
Thank you, Salute. It means alot. Hope I don’t bored anyone with these. ha..
As I searching through the net, I always hope for a dummie-tutorial as I’m not that techie to follow up right away. Hoping by putting what I know in displayed, those who shared the same issue as I have would have a better idea on the topics they’re into. ^^
Thanks Salute. I miss your blog, the words of inspirations…
