Quodle Launches! A Funny and Addictive Social Network Based Around What We All Have in Common – A Sense of Humor

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

Team Quodle is happy to announce the launch of its flagship website at http://www.quodle.com. A new social network based around something everyone has in common ? a sense of humor.

Plenty of websites take funny pictures and throw captions on them(mostly of cats), but Quodle wanted to take it up a few notches – anything can be funny with the right perspective.

Quodle challenges people to see humor in everything and find that even a rock or a blank wall can be hysterical comedy. Even the most mundane of life can quickly turn it into a funny joke:
Stuck in traffic for an hour staring at that stupid vanity license plate? Snap a photo and Quodle it!
Neighbor in their bathrobe seem like a Jedi on the prowl? Quodle it!
Spouse refuse to replace the toilet paper tube? Quodle it!
Dog got its head stuck in the cabinet trying to steal food? Quodle it!
Uncle Rico have a few too many and start table dancing? Quodle it! (Maybe a few times)

Chances are that somebody out there somewhere will get the joke and smile. There is no denying the power of laughter?now share it! Don?t be held back, don?t be afraid, and “Let your inner comedian out!”

Quodle is a twofold sport ? a user can create(http://www.quodle.com/how-to-quodle.aspx) or a user can laugh. Ideally they do both, mastering the full Quodling experience, but if they prefer to just blast out a stream of jokes or sit in private and rate and chuckle, it?s all good.

Take a break from the grind, spend 30 seconds to sign up, and enter the Quodleverse to start wasting away time on the most addictive comedy website in years.

About Quodle

Quodle is a social media website centered around humor and jokes told by captioning and recaptioning any and all photos. In the right hands, anything can be funny! Where does the word ‘Quodle’ come from? Quote + Doodle = Quodle. Quodle is based outside of Boston, MA. Visit us at http://www.quodle.com for more info.

 

Smart Women Live Their Why, Newly Launched….

Smart Women Live Their Why, Newly Launched By The Smart Women?s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning, Is A Powerful Life- and Business-Changing Book That Will Engage and Inspire Women Entrepreneurs Around the World for Generations

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

A brand new anthology of soulful inspiration and vital business intelligence has just been released as part of the Smart Women SeriesTM of books produced by the Smart Women?s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning (SWIEL). Full of personal and professional transformations experienced by female entrepreneurs from around the world, it is destined to create a lifelong legacy of intuitive and practical information every businesswoman needs.

For this fourth book in our series, I wanted to give women a chance to contribute their stories and the insights they?ve experienced on the way to creating highly successful and sustainable businesses,? says SWIEL?s Founder and CEO, Sheri McConnell. As McConnell teaches, women are naturally “built” for starting, running, and growing successful businesses, but it?s not really money they?re after. It?s meaning. As clich? as that sounds, it?s really the heart of a woman that is at the core of her business.

If a woman doesn?t know what her special gifts are, it will be hard for her to share them with the world as a means of doing business,? says McConnell. ?And that?s where this book acts as a guide.? She is also quick to point out that it?s important women never negatively compare the beginning of their journey with the middle of another woman?s, but instead, see the potential and the possibilities for their own lives as they read these stories.

From the beginning of Smart Women Live Their Why, women will be moved, inspired, and learn powerful life and business lessons that will change the way they think about themselves and their entrepreneurial pursuits. Whether a woman is just started out or is launching her fifth business incarnation, the tools, tips, and insights provide a positive boost of honesty, caring, wisdom, and support from her peers.

At SWIEL, we believe when you teach a woman how to achieve financial independence, you empower many generations to come,? says McConnell. ?In that way, this book is timeless.?

The Smart Women SeriesTM of books will no doubt continue its inspiring track record. Their 2010 release, Smart Women Know Their Why: The Guide for Discovering Your Life Purpose While Owning a Business So You Can Create Positive Change in the World (and Make Big Profits!), reached No. 11 on Amazon at launch, and was the only female-authored book in the top 25 books in business.
