J.K. Rowling, famed author of the Harry Potter book series, made two magical discoveries of her own during a taping of the BBC show “Who Do You Think You Are?” a few years ago.
Rowling’s participation in the show was inspired by her mother, Anne Volant, who died 1990 and was interested in learning about her French roots, although she never had the chance to explore them.

But if you’ve laid the mental groundwork for weight loss success, the dieting world is your oyster (which is great, because oysters are healthy in all kinds of ways).

To the hopeless romantics among us, Kate Middleton’s fairytale marriage to Prince William sounds as though it belongs between the pages of a novel – a Jane Austen novel, to be exact.
Ancestry.com took a look into the new Duchess of Cambridge’s (now known as “Catherine”) family history a few years ago, and found that she, and the world-renowned author Jane Austen, are in fact related. Their common ancestor is a man named Henry Percy, who was the 2nd Earl of Northumberland during the first half of the 15th century. Percy is Austen’s 10th great-grandfather, and Middleton’s 16th great-grandfather, making the two famous women 11th cousins, six times removed.

It has been a long road and a lot of hard work but we finally feel that Review Chatter is at a point where we can have an official launch. The website layout has been finalized for a while now and we have mainly been busy adding in new content. We now have more than enough detailed listings and Editor reviews available online that will allow our visitors to make informed decisions on products and services found all over the internet. Part of the power of Review Chatter is the ability to compare multiple products along with their large number of attributes to make it easy for our visitors to find the best prices and features.
The one thing we are short on are user reviews. We just need to entice our readers to leave informed reviews on their thoughts and feelings about the products and services they have used. Hopefully this shouldn't be to hard.
