Gameloft, one of the biggest mobile game developers in the world, is giving away a "special gift" every day, from today until Christmas. All you have to do is follow Gameloft on Twitter and keep an eye out for the new offer each day.

Facebook users hate change. Every little adjustment to the design or function of the site spawns a bunch of protest groups and angry comments on the Facebook blog. Here's an uncontroversial change, though: Facebook just killed off its virtual gift feature. Users will be able to keep the gifts they've already received, but you won't be able to spend your Facebook credits on new gifts after August ...

If you've ever wanted to give an iPhone app to someone else -- how many of you have wanted to buy games for your kids, for example? -- Apple has good news for you: a "gift" feature is now enabled in the iTunes App Store.

Steam has tons of casual, fun games in its library - here's my list of five ...

We love to see iPhone apps that are designed with phone users in mind. Ports of desktop apps -- chat clients, games, etc. -- are all well and good, but the mobile-specific stuff really shines. Take Gifter, for example. It's an app that lets you buy and send gifts from your iPhone. Can someone please write Gifter into a romantic comedy? We could totally see Tom Hanks frantically ordering flowers ...

Every year, small businesses struggle with the customer appreciation gift. Should we give one to every client? Only to new clients? What about long-term clients? Should we order pre-printed (and clever) cards? And the big question: how much is this going to cost? Saying thanks to our clients in a better fashion is something we set out to do last winter during the re-creation of our branding model. ...

How do we look at this site. As a way to greedily store information on things you want, or a way for friends and family to check in and see what items you might find useful when special occasions roll around?

I have started noticing how some photos on Yahoo! News now appear with a new option . So far it appears that these are limited to AFP distributed photos, but not all AFP photos have this new option. There is one photo of a magazine cover which I first saw this with. I called my wife over and we debated over whether it would make a better gift as a t-shirt, mouse pad, tile, or on a coffee cup. As ...
