Just Another Social Profile Really

Anyone reading this probably knows that the web is a pretty big deal: Facebook’s the 4th biggest ‘country’ in the world, 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, yada, yada, yada. But just to ram the point home, here’s a rather neat little widget (view the original one here) which tracks the [...]

I’m half-watching the BBC3 coverage of Radio 1’s Big Weekend & they’ve just shown a rather startling cover of the house classic You Got The Love by The Source & Candi Staton by (one of) this year’s great white hopes, Florence & The Machine. As with Candi Staton in the original, Florence Welch provides absolutely [...]

When I first wrote about This Time (I’m Gonna Try It My Way) by DJ Shadow it was as an aside in my post on Baby Charles’ cover of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (they had covered This Time as well). But after listening to it properly a couple of days ago [...]

One of the many excellent things about my job is that I’m often tasked with finding new & interesting ways of using the web to connect with people. And recently, whilst doing just that, I was sent a link to the video above by my colleague Laurence from WCRS. It’s one half of a video [...]

I was on the Bakerloo line Tube back from Paddington after my Christmas in Paris when I saw this rather intriguing ad. Risking being taken for a lunatic by the assembled tourists I decided to take a photo as I guessed that it would be related to an interesting advertising campaign. And, on getting home [...]

Along with minced pies, repeats, The Queen’s Speech and a vague sense of unease the morning after the office party (what I refer to as THE FEAR), Google’s annual Zeitgeist list is fast becoming a Christmas tradition. It’s a list of the phrases that have been searched for the most over the preceding 12 months [...]

I love the internet. It spawns utterly pointless memes that, more often than not, never make it off of the computer screen. In the case of rickrolling however it seems like this particular gag just keeps getting bigger & bigger. God bless whoever it was at Cartoon Network who decided to rickroll the famous Macy’s [...]

I’m sure that all of you will by now be aware of the terrible events unfolding in Mumbai (Bombay as was). I’m not even going to attempt to go into the reasons/repercussions/consequences of the attacks, but thought that instead I’d highlight how the web is having an effect on the ability of governments to carry [...]

I just received a very exciting email from a website called The Power Stocks (I’ll save my link for later) - apparently they can turn my “$1000 into $ Million by the end of year 2012- guaranteed”. This is very exciting news for a couple of reasons. Firstly it means that they know about $1000 [...]

I know that the main reason people visit this blog is because of the consistent high level of debate and analysis and so, with that in mind, I give you the video above which is a compendium of filmed FAIL moments. It accompanies a blog post on The Guardian, following an article in Slate on [...]
