Tasty, tasty information 6

My Internet use is likely to be quite different in 2012. For the past month or so, I’ve been evaluating what I do online, and actively cutting down on some stuff. I’ve closed my account with almost thirty services I no longer want to be involved with. Today, that’s culminated in the deletion of my [...]

How to lose friends and have rubbish conversations 13

Photo by smlions12 I’m not very good at Facebook. I know some people who are masters of it, and it pretty much dominates their web experience.

Stef, Jason and I had a very productive day. We came up with our next big venture, they discussed (and fiddled with) their new iPhones – and we finished off by launching an I So Wish Facebook App. It’s fairly simple for now (just how we like it) – but it does the job. Just [...]
