  • Time for Facebook to Face the Facts

    Nick Burcher added a post on his blog about Facebook Usage Statistics for 2008 which made me think about something I mentioned a few weeks ago, as I noticed within Facebook’s top 21 only India & Hong Kong appear for the whole of Asia! Where’s China, Japan, Indonesia etc? Nick’s stats are interesting, but they’re…

  • How many SMS messages will be sent on New Years Eve 2008/9

    On New Years Eve 2008, an estimated 43 billion SMS messages where sent globally! Which was up 30% on 2007, but the rise wasn’t evenly spread… Portugal tripled and The Netherlands doubled. Developing nations are by far the fastest expanding mobile markets, India’s 220 million mobile subscribers sent over a billion, a 300% rise on…

  • I hear there’s a recession, but I’ve decided not to take part

    At the end of 2007 I sold two of my companies, vision360 & ezpresenter, to the Cordovan Group, with the new company becoming Cordovan Digital (where I’m currently a Board Director). We’ve had a pretty good year, highest turnover & profits of our previous 10 year history, so I can’t say fairer than that. Of…

  • How To Make People Read My Blog

    In a follow up from my “nobody reads my blog” post (which ironically is now my second most read individual post!?!?), I recently posted on the triiibes forum where a member was asking a question along the lines of “how to write a blog that someone will read?” well the answer is easy, don’t write…

  • Hello I’m a Mac & I’m a PC 1996!

    Apple’s “Hello I’m a Mac & I’m a PC” isn’t as original as you might think. Here’s a jpeg a friend sent me a while back from a 1996 Mac Addict magazine, he sent it to me with the message “isn’t this how you used to look in 1996?” and regrettably I had to say…

  • Uh-oh – I made a stinky!

    Indulge your fecal fantasies with a doll that craps! The opening paragraph of the post on The Register says it all “Technology has brought many transcendent benefits to our culture, but possibly none have been as consummate in its exquisite magnificence as this holiday season’s nonpareil of elegance, Baby Alive Learns to Potty, a child’s…

  • This is How We Roll in India

    I saw this clip the other day on Top Gear, if you’ve not seen it, then get ready to be impressed! impressed by shear stupidity!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klteYv1Uv9A]

  • Merry Xmas

    I was wondering how best to say merry xmas to you all, then I saw this on Phil’s Unionversity blog and realised it was perfect, words cannot do it justice, enjoy : )

  • Unsocial Networks: Or why Facebook has got it wrong as Open Social is the Future

    It’s 5am and the dawn chorus has started in my back garden, but I don’t mind, as it got me thinking (which is sometimes a bad thing), so I’m wide awake now! The future for social networks is portability, I want the same freedoms online that I have in the real world, I want to…

  • Lightbulbs & Lasers

    bing! the lightbulb illuminates when you have your idea, it’s a killer idea, it’s going to change everything, it’s really cool, you almost can’t believe that no one has ever thought of this before, so sit there & bask in it’s warm glow for a while and let others join you to share in this…
