The Classifieds: Oxhorn runs a contest
Community contests are always exciting. Oxhorn, that mad maven of machinima, is hosting a "Marco Polo" contest. Essentially, once a week, Oxhorn will give a manly shout of "Marco" once a week. The first person to respond with "Polo," using the same social network, will win up to $30 in fabulous prizes.
This is also an interesting chance to try out Oxhorn's toolbar. The browser toolbar interacts with Oxhorn's content as well as allowing you one-click access to most social networks. It's an interesting idea, so I'm really curious to see how it turns out.

Keepers of the Keg of Stormscale (US-H)
I'd like to give a shout out to Intangible, Kasyndra, Gotblooms, and Pürps from Keepers of the Keg on Stormscale (US-H). They restored my faith in the dungeon finder. Even after a couple wipes in heroic Deadmines, nobody raged or even talked much smack other than a little strat tweaks and some good-natured ribbing. It was honestly the most fun I've had in a heroic yet, and I hope I run into them again -- Geoseppy of Spirestone (US-H)

10-man <Team Sport> of Ner'zhul (US-A) is a laid-back, tight-knit group with a serious 10-man raiding core. Looking for serious and friendly raiders (no mages, sorry) of any class/role for a few spots.
Chilled <Frosty Forever> of Drenden (US-A) is looking for more fun-loving and mature players to join our ranks.

Please apply on our web site or speak to any of our members for more information.
Need Healers <Riders of Gilead> is a Ysera (US) Alliance guild currently seeking non-paladin healers (I'm sorry, it breaks my pally-loving heart) and ranged DPS for our Tuesday and Thursday evening raids. We require Teamspeak3, DBM and a threat-monitoring device. We offer the knowledgeable backing of a stable group, 3 years and running, working under a Shroud points system.
New Guild <Imperious> of Sargeras (US-A) is a new guild hoping to accomplish something huge, a multi-faceted guild made up of a 25-man hardcore team, PvP rated BG team, social raiding team and everything in between. We are looking for serious, motivated players who love the game.
Puget Sound <Overcast> of Vashj (US-A) is recruiting new members from the Seattle/Puget Sound area. We are now running heroics/raids on Tuesday-Thursday at 8:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. and building our rated BG team. We welcome all mature, adult players who love the game and want to have more in common with their guildmates. More information can be found on our guild site.
Small and Casual <PlanEx> of Exodar (US-H) is looking to flesh out its numbers. We're a small group of friends looking to run randoms and some very casual raiding. We'll take any class/level with a good relaxed attitude that fits in with a working adult schedule.
Tight-knit Group <Simple> of Zul Jin (US-A) is looking for a healer and ranged DPS to join our main 10-man group. We raid Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 8.00 p.m. until midnight. We are a group of hard-mode raiding friends pushing to do the same in Cataclysm. If you're looking for a casual guild environment with serious raiding progression goals, please apply at Simple.
