Quick Recap of Last Week’s Tech News
There have been a number of things I’ve been meaning to comment on in the last couple of weeks and not got around to it until now. Rather than write long posts on each, I’ll quickly summarise what I think of these points. AOL wants to buy Yahoo! This is I think good news. They [...]
Facebook News – Photos Update and New Groups
Last week, Facebook updated their Photos service to allow higher resolution images and the ability to download them easily. You can also view photos in a lightbox (dims the rest of the page) from any page, although I’ve yet to see this in action. People have been saying that Flickr should be worried, because Facebook appear [...]
#NewTwitter – It’s Really Good
Since the new Twitter was launched about a week ago, I’ve been clamouring for it. The new look is a very cool change from the Twitter homepage of 4 years, since the service launched. In that time, Twitter has changed quite a lot in its purpose and in how it’s members use it, and the homepage hasn’t [...]

The State of Facebook and The Social Web
The only real issue I have with facebook privacy was the bug with the chat and other people being able to access it. Apart from that, I’m happy with the controls that they offer, and I feel that there’s nothing wrong with the current setup. I think the issue people have is more about how [...]
Tweetie Will Become Twitter for iPhone
Twitter Blog: Twitter for iPhone. I’m very excited for this. I’ve been a big fan of Tweetie 2 on iPod Touch for a while now. I was a bit reluctant to purchase it at first especially when you had to buy it again if you had the first version. Once you install it though, it [...]
Google Buzz
I didn’t find out about this straight away but Google Buzz is a new service that integrates into GMail as well as having a big presence on Google’s mobile websites. It has a similar feel to twitter but instead of trying to replace it, it has an option to integrate with it, and pull in [...]
