The great debate is on; which is better, Google Plus or Facebook?
Unlike other web services battles where two tech behemoths go head to head in all out war and nobody outside of the tech elite even notice, this one is special because nearly one billion internet users will have an opinion that will count. [...]
It was late afternoon and I was leaving my flat to do some shopping for a few things. As I stepped out onto the street and casually surveyed my surroundings I saw a blind man across the road standing on one side of a street, stopped and obviously about ready to try to cross it. [...]
There was a glorious time in my life when I was paid to watch a lot of Kung Fu flicks as part of my job. I worked for an internet TV company then, and it was one of the best job I ever had because I got to watch a load of kung [...]

Seems like the world is getting ready to go off on holiday right now. Except for the few poor fools who work in IT jobs for advertising agencies, who are desperately trying to get work done for the new year (like me), most other people are already in holiday mode. I’m always interested to hear [...]
The twitter crew have for years been trying to tell us that theirs was a micro blogging service; one of the first and stunningly trend setting. However once you get past the surface of the term MICRO BLOGGING, you find that it’s all pretty open to interpretation.
With the global thundering rise in popularity [...]
It’s a white trip on the way to work on tram 2 which heads into Leidseplein, the tourist center of Amsterdam. The snow is a reminder that we’re at the end of another year. Living in Europe means the seasons mark the passage of time in a much more prominent way than when I was [...]
