Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

It's the John Lewis furniture that is rustic, the Habitat furniture is all web2.0 style clean lines and curvy corners...Clare got a "place", winnings were less than the cost of putting the various bets on, but we'll get our 25 quid back I hope. Have ...

Twitter

Just revisited twitter.com for the first time since I don't know when, as I noticed it was one of my jabber instant messenger buddies. I must have set this up when it first launched, but I don't think it worked right away. I just sent a message to my...

If a picture paints a thousand words...

Does this video clip of us in Belgium this weekend make anything I have to say on the subject completely redundant?See, Mum, Dad, Clare and me on a humungous big wheel, part of the Plaisers d'Hiver festival type affair that was going in Brussels this...

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

RE: Ha, the cheek of you complaining about an increase in royalties!

From what I read (and I did read a fair bit at the time!) it costs to run a station regardless of whether you made a profit or not. There was a company offering to deal with & pay the licencing to webcast, but their starter package was like �50 per m...

Nice one www.popbitch.com.Just found this post from 2004 regarding Amy Winehouse (and I'm sure there's more in the archive), where I was whooping with glee because she bigged up my website in an interview with the BBC. It's not archived on the webwis...

Why is MJ Hibbett not showing up on my "blogroll"?

I've been using social bookmarking site del.icio.us to handle my links to other sites forever, getting (for example) a feed of my links tagged "blogs" and then filtering out just links I've given a rating too. I've saved MJ Hibbett so why's it not sh...

Technology, and how it cancels itself out
