It had to happen – say goodbye to Google Wave
about 1 month ago - View Comments
Well, a while back I blogged about Google Wave and how it wasn’t turning out to be quite what Google intended. Seems I was right, as TechCrunch reports today. I still haven’t figured out what Google Wave was for, or how it could best be used. Without users it is pretty much useless and as
Google Me? Really?
about 2 months ago - View Comments
Google are, apparently, developing a social networking platform to rival Facebook by, erm, copying Facebook. Clearly Google Buzz hasn’t worked, Google Wave died on its arse and so now we’ll get Google Me. But how is copying Facebook going to CHALLENGE Facebook? Ok, Google are running scared of FB at the moment and clearly want
Anticipating Diaspora

So four students from New York City think they can build a rival social media platform to Facebook and have received the money to do it. I am intrigued. My feelings about Facebook change constantly. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it. And sometimes I wonder what the point of it is. But I
The Problem With Facebook Pages
about 3 months ago - View Comments
I’ve set up and managed Facebook Pages for two companies now and there is one thing about them that really bugs me. You cannot switch ownership to another Facebook user. This is surely a glaring oversight from the Facebook team and I cannot believe they haven’t addressed it. There are plenty of people with the
Whatever happened to…Google Wave?

Seriously, anyone know? I downloaded it, installed it, used it, realised no-one else was using it rendering it pointless, and haven’t looked at it since. Do you use it? Or know anyone that does? For God’s sake, let me know, because Google invested a LOT of time and effort (as did the likes of Mashable!
COOKIES! Google does it again with class homepage

Without doubt the best Google.co.uk homepage I’ve ever seen! Celebrating, I believe, Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary. Yesterday the Google.com homepage had Big Bird’s legs in the Google Doodle. Class.
Twitter down, Facebook struggling…
about 1 year ago - View Comments
The social media world is in a state of disarray as Twitter remains down and out – by my own reckoning it’s been unobtainable for almost an hour. Surely the longest time in its history? Even in the dark days of 2007? Either due to their link up or the thousands and thousands of users
Top 7 FREE iPhone Apps: Digging through the App Store
about 1 year ago - View Comments
50,000+ Apps available! That’s what gets screamed at you when you consider an iPhone or even after you’ve bought one and you are wondering what to do with it. It’s a genuine claim – but how many of them are of any use at all? Let’s take games out of the equation. If you like
Who best to buy Twitter and make it profitable?
about 1 year ago - View Comments
Facebook. Google. Apple. Names already linked with the purchase of Twitter. Microsoft has probably been mooted at some point too. But the question is – who would be better off buying it? Twitter is a wonderful thing but it is not a business. It is currently unprofitable and I have yet to hear a good
Google StreetMap gets video competition
about 1 year ago - View Comments
Forget your scrolling round static images of streets a la Google StreetMap. Now you can pan around live action video in 360 degrees! The new concept, developed by Dutch company yellowBird, really does allow 360 degree viewing around a live action video. Imagine taking a drive through downtown Manhattan, for example, able to view either side

Yeah, I noticed that Twitter, my link w/the outside world, was gone yesterday while I was at the office.
So I continued to work.
While the world insists that Twitter & Facebook are going to CHANGE EVERYTHING! I see them as slow-form IMs program to keep me amused. “Well, I'm stuck here at my desk, but Adrina's on vacation…cool pic! Back to work with me.”

Uh, that was me up there. Apparently I lack the chops to connect via Facebook.

Don't worry. I keep commenting on sites using Facebook Connect when I want to use Disqus!
Losing Twitter or FB for me would be a blow, but I'd live. For work, however, I'd be almost unemployed!
