We all hate Big Brother, yet some of us still watch it regardless. For those that still have an interest in the show it seems the Australian version of 2008 has been introducing Z class celebrity after Z class celebrity into the house to try and spice things up no end.

One of the hottest and most useful sites on the Internet of late is GigPark.

GigPark is a social networking site with a difference. Launched in Febraury 2008, GigPark allows friends and colleagues to recommend good services and local businesses that they have used in the past.

So when will it likely happen?
How high could it go?

In real terms, Oil is already more expensive than it was during the 1973 crisis. At that point, oil rose from $3 to $12 per barrel. However in 2008 terms that is only around $45-$50.
