While I’m aware that its usually a little skeezy promoting your own stuff, this is actually quite a cool product that we designed in-house.
iWantOne.cn has some cool Fridge Magnet sets for those wanting to learn Chinese (or English).
The first set is available now, and includes phrases useful for talking to your ayi.
The idea came about from a client – who asked why we didn’t put some English translation on our Shanghainese or Mandarin badges.
(Yes, we do have a Grass Mud Horse badge, for those that read the New York Times).
I thought about it for a while, and remembered the fridge poetry craze from a few years ago, and had the seminal idea to make a magnet set with Chinese, English and Pinyin translations.
A month or three and many prototypes later, we finally had a product.
That my i could also finally tell the Ayi to clean under the sofa was also a bonus!

Some of the fun uses of LiURL are for linking sites with enormously long URL’s – TaoBao, yes I’m looking at you there.
Here are a couple of things I found this morning that I linked to with our URL Shortening tool that make great birthday gifts.
I’ve always liked the idea of giving someone something that shows a little thought in the present. So, I present to you – newspapers from whenever; when framed they make great gifts.
Only problem is finding out exactly how old someone is in order to order, not everyone wants to tell their true age!
一大使用LiURL的乐趣是从网站上连接一些特别长的链接-淘宝，是的，我正从那浏览呢。
这里是一些我早上发现的，通过我们链接缩短工具连接的，可以作为美妙的生日礼物的东东。
我一直喜欢赠送给朋友们一些可以引人思考的礼物。所以我在此介绍给你-各式的重新装裱后的旧报纸，它们是作为生日礼物的绝佳选择。
唯一的问题是找出想要订购他们的人的年龄，因为并不是每个人都乐于透露自己的真实年纪呢！
