Having had an email over the weekend to connect with someone on a social network site I’d forgotten I was a member of I decided to work out a list of the sites I am indeed signed up to.
Turns out I need to get out a bit more. In no particular order:
Digg
LinkedIn
Last.fm
YouTube
Twitter
Flickr
Dopplr
Facebook
Plaxo
Pownce
Jaiku
Once again it’s blog refresh time. Currently working on a new version of the site. Got a design sorted and going to move on up to the latest version of Ray Camden’s excellent BlogCFC. When will this wondrous event occur, well, sometime soon…
A day of updates.
Apple have finally announced that on March 6th they’re going to talk about the iPhone roadmap and SDK [via]
LinkedIn have launched a new design for the site. A cross between Facebook & Flickr in my opinion.
Google Docs has a slight tweak to it’s toolbar making it more MS Office esq. Google also launched Sites for Google Apps, online wiki from all accounts. Need to get myself a Google Apps account to check it out.
A little while back I had an email, via Flickr from and editor at Schmap saying that one of my photos had been short listed for the next version of their London travel guide.
For those who don’t know, like me, this is what’s Schmap is about.
Schmap is a leading publisher of digital travel guides for 200 destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The innovative technology behind Schmap Guides also lets end users publish their own ‘schmaps’ (to share trip itineraries, local reviews and more), and powers a popular range of Schmap Widgets, displaying maps with content and event schedules for travel, sports, concert tours and more on a fast-growing network of websites and blogs. Founded in 2004, Schmap is privately owned and based in Carrboro, North Carolina
The photo in question was a quick snap I’d taken with a Sony Ericsson K750i when I was up in London on Oxford Street outside of John Lewis back in December 2006. The original photo on Flickr.
Today I received another message congratulating me that my photo had been published! Kinda cool for a camera phone shot!
It’s featured in the Computers & Shopping section of the latest Schmap guide.
There’s a petition going on the UK government site to have the Monday after remembrance Sunday made into a national holiday. I think it’s an excellent idea as we should always remember those who have served for us, I don’t always agree with why we’re fighting around the world but non the less the people have done their duty.
Not really much to say on this but Happy New Year and welcome to 2008. I’ve set myself some resolutions which I’m planning to stick to but as every year we’ll have to see how that goes!
I’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
I’ll leave you with this.
Essential reading though some controversial rules in there, I don’t think half time breaks should be allowed.
