What is Google Wave?

In our opinion, and from what we have tested – it is taking chat, email and social networking to a completely new level.

How can I get it?

You have to be invited by Google to test Wave, and we were one of the few that were invited to test it Continue reading “Google Wave” »

Twitter findings to date: the good, bad and the f-ugly

Social Networkon September 27th, 2009No Comments

The Good.

Some interesting Tweets are there if you look for them, and they post interesting and useful information.

Use a linking shortener like www.bit.ly to shorten your links posted to twitter. You can also track the click through success of your tweet if you sign up to their service as a member.

Twitter is a good way to announce something new and get an audience to take a look.

Encourage others to share your tweets to maximise exposure of your announcements.

Be courteous enough to follow someone if they follow you (pending they share similar interests)

Twitter – Tongue in cheek

Social Networkon September 27th, 2009No Comments

Our post about twitter has bought some heated arguments based on some of the comments we posted.

For the most part, it was a tongue-in-cheek post about the social network. Having said that, most of what we have found on twitter really is mundane and …well…boring!

So, we are conducting our own little experiment on how far we can push this online network, and will post our further findings, no doubt to more heated discussions on our membership network.

Stay tuned.

Twit or Tweet

Social Networkon September 27th, 2009No Comments

Ok, many have asked about our thoughts on Twitter, the web wall of boring shit one posts about what one is doing at any given time. (does that set the mood for what I am about to say?)

So lets get down to it:

  1. A friend txts me and says “follow me on twitter”. I text back and simply say “hey how about “pick up your phone”?
  2. I could care less if you just ate a sandwich on the train whilst posting your Tweet 9 hours ago
  3. Most of what is posted is incredibly inane and narcissistic, for the better part, f-ing bizarre! I just don’t get it.
  4. Point blank – Who cares??
  5. I can’t wait for this fad to die a rapid net death (see artistic impression of this concept)
  6. Twitter makes me hope for a moon colony to be built yesterday so I can leave this world of twits (that’s right, think about it) and live a life free of twitters, twits or tweets for that matter.
  7. Who said it would bolster your business? Send us an example where Twitter has increased your business POS and I will eat blue feathers for the rest of my life.
  8. Do I look like I give a rats arse if some fat web developer attended yet another seminar about how to make your web presence impacting?kill_twitter

…to answer the ever impressing question of what we think about Twitter? Get A Life…and while you are at it, get some marketing nouse, grow a brain, and walk the miles instead of relying on some stupid ass pseudo wall blogger piece of web rubble to make your millions!

Facebook – Top 10 Why Nots!

Social Networkon September 27th, 2009No Comments

Top 10 reasons why we hate Facebook (Shock Horror – yes, Hate)

  1. The boss hates it, so we hate it
  2. I don’t want to be a part of your “Save the baboon colony of WTF ever. Start one like “I will give you a million dollars to blow me on FaceBook” that might get our attention
  3. Your friends are not my friends. How do I know this? I don’t have any friends, so stop trying to socialise me with your fake ass facebook friends.
  4. I don’t care where you are in your life at the moment. That is why I left that f-ing terrible little town, to get as far away from the small town idiots! (who are no doubt also Twittering – see above post) Why would I all of a sudden want you back in my life?
  5. I don’t even know half your family, so why are you suggesting I add them to my profile?
  6. The photo album widget is pathetic and blurs your images! Do yourself a favour, pay a web developer to build you a better looking website you cheap ass!
  7. Glad to hear that your cat, Fuzzy, has a FaceBook page as well
    [yawn] – oh, what is this?!! (gets annoying send into inbox and reads slowy the text version inbox drop)
    Fuzzy has sent a request that I join his/her/whatever cause which requires me to (shameless advert plug) donate shit to PETA ! FCUK no!! (pun intended)
  8. Stop cluttering my inbox with inane suggestions and invites to shit I don’t want to go to, blog about, or join – I can do that without your help thank you very much.
  9. If I wanted to communicate with you, reach you, find you, dig you up even, I would have done so by emailing you, calling your mother for your last known address, or better still – called the police to find your where abouts.
  10. No, I don’t want to be on your fan page, or be selected as your top 2 potential to marry either!

…thats what we think of fakebook ooopss, Facebook and its popular rise to further more web junk clutter. It suits American Teenagers who have nothing better to do than to stalk other teenagers at their school, make up shit about them to the point the rumour becomes fact. In turn stalkee committs suicide because he/she could not shake the applied mean girls cheerleader fake hug “I luv you” (in annoying fake voice) fake story via Fakebook – shit, sorry – Facebook!
