Like many of you, I was sucked in by the #bbcqt activity last night in a manner that 2 Screen would surely be proud of.  However, I couldn’t help but think this. Tweetminster measured 12.49 #bbcqt tweets per second by the end of the programme, a phenomenal volume

In today’s Apple update, there’s one element for me that’s far more exciting than the others and yet at the same time, really disappointing.  The new Magic Mouse. Sure, iMac users can now woosh around and no longer have to live in jealousy of their MacBook brothers

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be relieved to hear today’s Dyson announcement about bringing air-multiplication to the mainstream.  This country was built on such great endeavours; just look at the water punctuation of the 30s or fire division pioneered by Sir Henry Johnstead back in the
Conservatives
Imaginatively, The Sun today declared their support for the Conservative Party [http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2661063/The-Sun-Says-Labours-lost-it.html] after 12 years of backing Labour. But is this a mature approach in modern times? Â Does a publication have to declare its support for a particular party, drawing

Couldn’t resist putting this up. Trendsmap [http://trendsmap.com/] is a service that layers tags on top of a World map to show what is trending where.  Let’s have a look at the image below: In the area around London:  Grammar, investment, debate. Over toward Liverpool: @mrpeterandre [http:

Since its announcement two years ago, Google’s Android platform has had a bit of an underwhelming start, at least until the last few months when the new HTC Hero handsets seem to have provided a proper backdrop to do it justice. The platform itself has been bouncing along its

Some telecoms examples for today's Follow Friday blog post.  Enjoy… @guyatcarphone [http://twitter.com/guyatcarphone] – Among generally worthwhile tweets, there are also interesting updates on cellular reception as the network inevitably collapses around the country.  A good idea and worth having on the roster just in case.

Who knows, Chrome OS could finally be the missing link that brings Linux into the big time but I’m interested is how the ecosystem will grow around it. Surely Google will release some kind of Skydrive where you can store your content, freeing up space inside those tiny netbooks
femtocell
Good news about Vodafone’s femtocell product [http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/news/vodafone-launches-home-3g-femtocell-in-the-uk-1203] but I believe it’s only a hop and step into the triple jump of FMC. Still, I guess you have to start somewhere. If you’re within your house though, why not just switch to
Social Media
Had a conversation with a colleague about Twitter [http://www.twitter.com/maxtb] today. She was claiming that you can’t say anything worthwhile in 140 characters, a suggestion made by many that I’ve tried to explain the popular microblog to. I’d argue it depends what you’re

With thousands of millions of downloads zinging their way to the 17 million iPhones out there in the wild, it'd be hard to argue that Apple aren't on to something with the App Store. But I think there's a clear and greater opportunity on
