While we wait for Facebook to send us our decal, we decided to create our own digital version of the decal being sent out to local businesses. As you can see, we added our SMS notification service to the decal. If you would like to receive text alerts about Islam, Muslims and all the halalness of IslamCrunch, please sign up for SMS list – http://www.textmarks.com/MUSLIM

From Technorati:
After joining every social network in the universe, posting dozens of photos as well as adding thousands of friends and strangers, you realized that your online presence needs consolidation. You need a one-stop place to show the world who you are and what you do. Even though there are quite a few build-it-yourself homepage solutions, Flavors.me gives you beauty, simplicity, flexibility and most of all: “tweet appeal.”
Flavors.me has three features that makes your own page fun and cool. Besides pulling in your social feed, you can customize your main content. Here’s your chance to tell the world about your plans for world peace or how much you love posting comments on this article. Also, you can use your own image for your background. Best of all, it’s all so easy. With so much flexibility and ease-of-use, you can try different layouts, styles and colors.

Here’s a screen shot of my article featured on Flavors.me feedback page:
IslamCrunch is offering 2 free tickets to sold out film screening of New Muslim Cool. For a chance to win these tickets, simply post a comment here and describe another important element of Islam in the West (besides hip-hop).
Here’s an example: Technology is an important element of Islam in the West. We have so many Muslim engineers, scientists, computer specialists. Plus we have the benefit of centuries of jurisprudence, Islamic law and spiritual teachings. We can use this extensive knowledge to lead the technology front in order to benefit humanity.
The most appealing answer will be given the tickets. Video comments would be very cool too. Screening will be on Sunday, April 26 at 3pm in San Francisco. More details here: http://fest09.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=63
We would like to request that the winner provide a review of the film. Your review may get posted on IslamCrunch!
This contest is sponsored by Kinza Academy – Muslim home education.
