This Global Village is getting a bit stuffy
It turns out the internet is a tiny place. It's not the vast, cavernous, roomy anonymous pleasure dome I'd once mistakenly believed it, it's actually only about 300 people big. And everyone knows everyone else. Or at least, that's what you'd be forgiven for thinking if you spend as much time online as I do.…

The cherry red 901 and the purple 900XP models don't appear to offer anything extra other than their colour.…

Blip.fm – It's like Last FM and Twitter had a baby
Bored of Twitter yet? Me neither, but that's not going to stop me from playing with the other Web 2.0 children, and Blip FM is like the illegitimate offspring of Twitter and Last FM.
