Shock horror – you’re not a social retard

March 2, 2009 – 1:54 pm

Now, it may hard be to believe that statement. However, one must be directed to research published this week from the Economist, who persuaded chief stats wonk at Facebook, Dr Cameron Marlow, to carry out some analysis of how socially promiscuous people are. It surprised me to learn that the average bloke carries with him […]

A review of the INQ1 “Facebook” phone

January 6, 2009 – 4:28 pm

I’ve had an INQ1 phone on trial from 3 Mobile since the middle of December. My main impression is that it’s CHEAP, PIONEERING and A BIT SHODDY. It’s not an iPhone, but it’s not £35 a month. Stand out items for me (good or bad) are: Consolidated Inbox and Phonebook: having all messages and chats, […]

Spilling the INQ

November 14, 2008 – 4:37 pm

The mystery behind the driedonpaper rubber stamp was revealed rather early yesterday morning, the excitement in question being the launch of the new INQ1 (pronounced “ink one”) Facebook phone on 3. I went along to the launch party in the evening to have a play with the phone (and eat their canapés). First impressions were […]

What I want for Xmas 2008

January 8, 2008 – 12:27 pm

This is a bit of a belated New Year’s post. I’m intending to make predictions, unlike my colleagues Kerry and Paul, as they’ve done a grand job with that. Instead, I’m just going to say what I want to have happened by the time Xmas 2008 rolls around. In no particular order… DIY progamming and […]

Never mind the Facebook – Open Social and the future of social networks

November 2, 2007 – 4:11 pm

The thing about Facebook, for all its yummy and addictive gloriousness, is that it’s been around a while. This is worrying. Friendster, MySpace have both experienced a huge and short-lived boom period, followed by customers migrating to the next, best and shiny thing. Given that Bebo has been the #1 social network in the UK […]

Future recruiter – how we will come to buy business

August 9, 2007 – 3:14 pm

Simon McManus has made an excellent point in his recent blog post about Facebook, which is to do with the way companies will come to assemble teams and buy services in the future. “…My mind runs away with ideas of allowing customers to pick a team based on public profile pages with reviews from previous […]

Business in the Facebook

July 31, 2007 – 9:28 am

This is for those who find themselves looking at Facebook and LinkedIn and thinking, “hey, that would be really cool inside my company…” A lot of different groups – and if you’re reading this, you’re probably in one – have recognised that social networks on the Internet have a lot to teach us about a […]

Facebook fever

June 18, 2007 – 11:41 pm

Er… Is it just me, or is anyone else slightly scared that their nice, neat Facebook universe is about to explode into a Big Bang of application births. I mean, I’m all for the open platform thing, in principle, but now that I am being asked to add an increasing amount of applications on a […]
