6. Bueller...? Bueller...? www.uloop.com - $10-$15

Have trouble waking up in the morning? Or maybe you just don't like going to class that much (hey, it happens). Either way, midterms are looming and you realize that you haven't been to the lecture in three months. Uloop.com's most popular function is to facilitate textbook purchases between students, but their website also allows students to post other items for sale, including class notes. Right now, the selection is small but class notes are certainly a growing necessity. Uloop has given students an arena for "helpful" sharing, so why not use it?

2. Become a walking billboard www.leaseyourbody.com - $100-$500

Leaseyourbody.com is now hiring promoters for their site, who would wear the company logo on their forehead. It's easy money, but get ready to do a lot of explaining.

1. A rabbit with tricks that aren't just for kids www.nabaztag.com - $165

Nabaztag.com's "rabbit" is a talking and dancing electronic device that can connect to various Wi-Fi networks and organize your life. In an English accent, the rabbit reports the local weather, broadcasts podcasts and tells the time. It can give you real-time updates on the latest news, traffic and stock reports. Talk to the rabbit and it'll connect you to a variety of radio stations or answer your personal questions. In addition to performing various tasks that come standard with any PDA, the rabbits are believed to be equipped with personalities. If you don't employ your rabbit's services frequently enough, they might frown or shy away from you when you finally do. And though they can't eat, they somehow possess the capability to sneeze, burp and fart. Once your friends start purchasing rabbits, the real fun can begin. Rabbits can send and receive MP3 files, send messages that you dictate and even marry each other. In a world dominated by multitasking electronics, Nabaztag's rabbit takes the cake.
