Longevity Calculator: Find Out Ways to Add Years to Your Life

Monster.com founder, Jeff Taylor, today launched a new social networking site for parents and grandparents (anyone above 50). Reuters refers to this new Adult hangount eons.com as the MySpace or Facebook for the 50-plus crowd.

When most websites require people to certify that they are 18+ before they can register, eons raises the age requirement to 50+. The irony is that founder Jeff is just 47 and he may be not eligible to view certain sections of the site himself.

eons.com has a nation-wide database of obituaries dating back to the 1930s to which people can add photos and comments. You can receive alerts when someone you may know dies. There are even plans for a do-it-yourself funeral service.

How long you are expected to live ? The most interesting section is the the Adult Longevity Calculator that helps you calculate your anticipated age by analyzing answers to questions related to your lifestyle, nutrition, medical condition, and family history. You are also given a detailed report with suggestions that enable you to take action and improve your longevity.

The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
