Greenpeace vs Facebook
17th September 2010
Oh dear. It looks like evil Mark Zuckerburg has been powering Facebook with smelly, dirty coal. Greenpeace really don’t like that. Me? I’m off to commit social suicide right now in protest. Or maybe not.
Why Twitter will get Shitter
14th April 2010
Twitter have unveiled their plans on monetizing their social networking site. Called “Promoted Tweets”, initially they will include advertising within search results and on the Twitter website, and later ads will appear in the ‘feed’ to 3rd party applications such as an iPhone or desktop Twitter client.
Until now Twitter has provided a free service to their 75 Million users. There has been huge speculation on which advertising model the service would adopt.
Grab yourself a Gravatar
22nd February 2010
If there’s one thing that really annoys me about the internet it’s the endless need to create new accounts on every single website out there.
While we can’t really expect a universal login any time soon, nor perhaps do we want one, we can make life a little simpler for ourselves using Gravatars.
Simply create an account with your primary email address at gravatar.com and upload your favourite avatar. Now when you create an account using that email address on a website which has activated Gravatars, your avatar will automatically appear.
Sometimes, it the simple things that make the difference.
