Facebook vs Google Plus vs Twitter
I’m new to Google Plus but I’ve already spent a fair amount of time updating my Google Profile, creating circles and adding people. It’s an interesting time for me. I have a healthy dislike of Facebook and therefore very rarely use directly. Flipboard allows me to “magazine” the content in a convenient and disposable form, [...]
Eventify.me great idea
Jason Calacanis recently tweeted a great new startup, it’s only in the US – in fact only in LA but I love the idea. On the site you’ll find a range of event locations to rent by the hour (Oooer), evening or day, everything from 500 seat auditoriums to a small backyard ranging in price [...]

Apple have released Safari 5.0 and it has a really neat [READER] button at the end of the address bar that quite cleverly turns a advert-loaded web page into a lovely, clean browsing experience.

A/B testing comes out of the closet
One of the best kept secrets of web success, A/B testing, is ever so slowly sneaking out of the closet. In the last week or two we’ve seen Google’s very public A/B test and now Twitter has come out of the closet with a range of sign-up variations being tested. It seems that a new [...]
