  • Tweetgrid – a tool to make sense of it.

    Reading Time: < 1 minute Yesterday someone twittered about tweetgrid, a simple to use web interface that allows you to see, in real time what people are tweeting about.

  • The idiocy of the Mobile flickr website (or why I hate Iphone optimised mobile websites)

    Reading Time: < 1 minute Flickr had a mobile website that worked well because it was developed for all mobile devices.

  • The N95 8gb, google maps and navigation

    Reading Time: < 1 minute If it’s something geeky you’ll see me learn how to use it. The most recent thing I’ve played with is the n95 8gb and google maps. This time though it was from a car rather than on foot and as a result it was far quicker to correct a mistake.…

  • The Social Media Lifestyle

    Reading Time: < 1 minute I believe I’m living the social media lifestyle, that is that wherever I go I have both my mobile phone and my ipod touch. As a result I am never more than a hotspot away from the world wide web and it’s content. In Switzerland I’m online as I hike…
