    Oh, Brando, is there anything you can’t sell? This $18 USB device is basically a little mailbox that lights up when your friends email you. Why? Who cares! It’s $18!

    The USB Mail Box Friends Alert connects to your Facebook, Twitter and webmail/email account when you cannot, and let’s you know what is going on! It supports Facebook, Twitter, gmail, yahoo, outlook, outlook express, Windows Live, Live Mail and POP3 account and it works in the background to inform you every time you receive a Tweets, Facebook feeds and emails! In addition, every new mail, Tweet and Facebook feed will be illuminated soft light and associated with a sound.

    Note that last line (“In addition, every new mail, Tweet and Facebook feed will be illuminated soft light and associated with a sound.”). That sounds like a freaking blast.
