Piczo was one of the first websites that I used a couple of years ago to build my first website. This website is quite good for beginner bloggers and website makers, but this is not flexible enough. It is moderately hard to organize but beginners will find it really easy to use because each section of the website can be moved to anywhere onto the website.

This website has a good community and there are extras such as a button where you could rate the Piczo site that you are at, built in hit counters, and more.

The design has been upgraded since the last time I used it and is quite pleasant to use if you are a beginner.

The web builder features a text based window where you can add functions to the website and supports some HTML and Javascript.

Unfortunately unlike Blogger, this does not have a RSS feed system so bloggers may like to steer away from this.

The good thing about this service is that it has a simple picture upload area and you can easily make your own albums online and share it with your friends and family.

Minor Updates/Adjustments

I'm currently using the time today to make some minor adjustments to the website and fixing some dead links that I just found. The Tribal Wars review is currently on hold right now because Lucario, a Tribal Wars player is currently busy and so is Leez Shadowing. I'll be posting other tech-related subjects instead.

Travian is a browser based RTS (Real Time Strategy) game online. This game can be reached through this link. It is a lightweight yet interesting and stunning graphics for such a fast loading online game (RTS).

Byzone invites RTS "Specialist" Leez Shadowing for a talk about Travian.

"Hello LeezShadows, what was your first impression of Travian?"
LeezShadows says: "Well, Travian was a simple impressive game," "The gameplay was quite good but the graphics could be improved."

FyreVortex then asked: "What do you think about Travian's overall loading speed? After all, Byzone considers Travian as one of the lightweight online browser RTSes."
"It's quite fast but it's a bit slow in loading." Says LeezShadowing. "It can be improved by downloading a graphic pack onto your computer and loading graphics through that instead. By doing that, it'll boost the speed up."

We then talked about the gameplay. "Yes, it's very good for business people who are bored," Leez chats, "The buildings will build by themselves and the resources will drain in even if you're logged off."

Well, we've taken enough time from LeezShadowing the RTS "Specialist" now.

Travian, overall is a good game if you want a simple but straight forward game and fast loading graphics, but if you want to start wars "early", then you should read our next Byzone Game Review... Tribal Wars.

Wuala-"Unlimited Storage Space"

Wuala is a new service that allows you to share things online for free. You could share it to friends, your family members, colleagues, ... Sounds good, doesn't it? Files, Music, Videos, Games, and more! Unfortunately, as always, offers may not be what it seems.

You get 1 Gibabyte of storage for free, but then if you want to continue sharing... You have to "donate" some space from your own hard drive... But then you also get to use part of the other Wuala users' hard drives... So it's "shared"...

It's kind of like the service that Torrent and Limewire uses. But Wuala splits the file you are sharing into 500+ pieces and they are sent to thousands of other user's hard drives. It's easy to download something off, because plenty of users have that file and they all send... Well, the service sends the pieces of file to you.

Obviously, your computer has to be online often, so the Wuala community "rewards" the user with more storage space.

There are also privacy options and you can choose to whether you want to private it, who you want to share it with, and so on.

If you want to check the it out go to this link. Wuala. Also, the files are encrypted so you won't have to worry about it.
