Whilst i understand that a lot of people don’t trust Wikipedia all that much, i have to say that i can spend hours upon hours reading article after article. Whilst i can appreciate that not all articles are 100% accurate i think that Wikipedia is one of the best things to ever happen to the […]

Facebook Connect: Why and how to use it on your website
Back in July (when the weather was a little sunny and not bitterly cold) i wrote a blog post about using your Facebook profile on Digg. Just to recap, it was regarding the rather great ability to use your Facebook profile to login to Digg without registering an entire new Digg account, on top of […]
Amazing Mario and Zelda orchestrated music
Ok, so this is massively off topic from what i normally write about but i figured there maybe a few Nintendo fanboys of old who visit my blog, and thought that these are just to amazing to pass over. There is a symphony group called Play! which go around the world and perform classic tunes […]
Facebook bring back captcha’s for messaging
I was just sending my friend some driving directions to my house though the Facebook messaging system, and was surprised to see that when i hit send i was asked to put in a Captcha. I know that Facebook used to make you put in a captcha for adding friends until you registered your mobile […]
SEO is not a real job…
…or so a (tsk) .net development blog would have you believe. I have just read the above linked post on reddit which is from a .net development blog. At first i was very frustrated about how someone could be so ignorant about an industry that they obviously don’t understand, but then at the same time […]

Matt Cutts really is whiter than white :)
I have just come across a story which tells us of a feature that YouTube implemented after it was ‘joked’ about on the popular webcomic XKCD. XKCD originally ‘joked’ about YouTube commenter’s realising they are morons after having the comments they type read back to them before they posts. It seems Google have noticed this […]
Yahoo gearing up to launch Google Analytics rival?
Earlier this year (the 9th of April to be exact) Yahoo issued a press release which explained that they had acquired the web analytics and tracking company IndexTools. Now 6 months later it seems that they might be looking to roll out that acquisition to the general public with Yahoo Web Analytics. Whilst the Yahoo […]
Google curbs drunken emailing
I just read about the new Google mail labs ‘invention’ that aims to stop you sending emails that you will later regret, more than likely under the influence of our good friend alcohol. The cleverly named ‘mail goggles’ becomes active at certain times during the weekend, of course you can set the times that you […]
How dare Sphinn outrank ME for MY content
Whilst i am still working on my ‘other’ blog post i thought i would just throw something out there, this post is supposed to be a little in jest so please don’t take it to seriously ok? Good! I have had the fortune of having a couple of articles from this blog submitted, and then […]
