The average American teenager is sending about 1500 text messages a month! That's fifty a day! Or 3 an hour if you only count the waking hours.

A world of apps becomes a world of adventure.

As our world progresses into the future we keep on finding our self with more information coming ever so closer to our fingertips. The world of the cellphones is very much upon us, with more and more people becoming connected to one another just by the touch of a button. Gone are those days of [...]

OMG! ACRONYMS – AT LAST!

Apparently, I am the office Acronym queen! WTF, I have no idea why I was called that! But could have been another name all together so I best settle with this title then! ROFL!  So in a world where things are developing at an exponential rate!  Who knows, maybe acronyms will form a part of [...]

You’re Fired!

I am not a fan of the original version of The Apprentice, perhaps it's all the American hype or it could just be Mr Hair himself, Donald Trump.

Present past, future illegible?

The good news for those of us who don’t speak Chinese is that other radical changes will occur in the next five years which will actually benefit us. We won’t send you to watch the full 45-minute interview available on YouTube – it’s a super-snooze fest and besides, the kind, now-snoozing-no-doubt ReadWriteWeb (www.readwriteweb.com) folk already did that for us.

Phishing or Fishing?

Cell Scary

Anyway, inane ramblings aside (another sign that maybe my brains are actually being scrambled, possibly by me cell), turns out I’m not the only one concerned about cell phone radiation. So in that, at least, I’m not completely psycho. On my side, I’ve got the Environmental Working Group who’ve actually launched an online cell phone radiation chart. Check it out here.

Have you been Poken yet? Meet – Connect – Stay in Touch

So you’re out with a group of friends and meet a few random interesting people. You ask if they’re on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..... You get round to finally trying to find them on your preferred Social Networking site and you have forgotten their name, surname or just can’t decide which John Smith they are?
