I went to see Despicable Me 3D with the lovely @naturalbornred and her daughter last night. It’s a brilliant film, by the way, but I’m not here to write a review, just go see it if you can. What I want to write about is 3D films. This was the second I’ve seen, the first [...]
Back in April 2009 I rated Seesmic Desktop better than Tweetdeck. A lot can change in 18 months or so, however, and with the recent launch of Seesmic Desktop 2 I thought I’d reassess them. The first thing that struck me is how close they were to one another now. There really is little to [...]
Bit more testing, bit more research, bit more reading and I have revised my initial thoughts on Google Instant, especially on how it affects SEO. It doesn’t mean targeting part-search terms is an option. That has, after a bit more thought, beenproven to be a hugely incorrect assumption of mine. Here are my updated thoughts [...]
I don’t know if Google Instant will save me 2-5 seconds per search as Google claim and I don’t know if it’s the step forward in technology they claim it is – Yahoo! had it in 2005 and have dropped it – but after using it for a day or two I can say it [...]
New job, new career, new start!
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 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 [...]
Remember this? “LFM Uld /w Achievement” Well now it’s been replaced with this: “LFM ICC10 /w GearScore” “LFM ICC25 5.2k gs only” “LFM weekly raid. /w gs and achievement” In some ways it is slightly fairer. When idiotic raid leaders wouldn’t let you join a raid because you didn’t have the Achievement I could only [...]
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 iPad from Apple – which sold 1 million devices in the first month of its US launch – has finally gone on sale here in the UK and as always, people queued through the night to be amongst the first to get their hands on one. The question I’m asking is why? Having had [...]
In a bid to keep my writing, SEO and general online marketing skills up to scratch, this is what I’m working on at the moment. It’s a personal project and I’m not looking to make money out of it – but if it happens, great! Take a look, and feel free to leave me your [...]
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 [...]
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! [...]
Here we are then, five years down the line (or 15 years for Warcraft) since World of Warcraft was launched by Blizzard. And I’m STILL playing. Why? What is it about WoW that keeps me coming back? What have I learned? When I rolled my first character in 2004, a Night Elf Warrior whose name [...]
