Le Tote

If the internet is good for anything, it’s making sure women have even greater access to clothing… right?

Le Tote is a new website that allows users to rent clothes on a monthly basis, so they can be spared the indignity of wearing the same dress more than once. Thanks goodness.

Facebook wants you… early

Whether you love it, hate it, or feel ambivalent about its existence, Facebook’s Timeline has now extended its reach. Now you don’t even have to wait until you’re born to get it.

Buy-buy…

At the end of this month, new eBay policies will mean you won’t be able to buy certain things any longer. Such as?

Explaing the reasoning behind the changes, the company said the transaction in these categories “often result in issues between the buyer and seller that are difficult to resolve”. Fair enough.
