First UGC Win In The Bag
Well the evil plot to pillage the world of UCG has begun. Nothing major, just 2 tickets to a club-night on Saturday. But worth 30 quid. Not bad for 5 minutes spent writing a 50 word response to something… Interestingly I sat down and…
QR Codes – There’s More
Following earlier posts about QR codes (or Semacodes) – the barcodes that your phone can translate into cool stuff – thought I ought to post this from the MIT Advertising Lab on uses for QR codes. I can’t help but think that the ones above…
Sorry IMified Chaps
Dave from IMified left a comment that the message I got was an AOL limit thing. And as such is not their fault. Fair play to them. As he indicates running a service on top of someone elses platform is always going to be a tricky one! Keep…
IMified
Now this sounds good – IMified! I like Instant Messenger. I like the fact that IM clients are lightweight applications that can be accessed anywhere (as long as I’ve got mobile or web access). And the promise of opening up applications so…

RSS Readers
I’d assumed that lots of people use Netvibes as their RSS reader (because I do). But this chart shows that it’s way down the list. Almost half of the people who subscribe to Crackunit’s RSS Feed do so through Google Reader or Google…
Bandwagon – iTunes Backup
Bandwagon is an iTunes backup software / service combo. I read this and thought of me: Bandwagon is for smart people that have a huge music library that has never been backed up. At least the last bit’s true. Another nice – ‘link to us…
Boo point Oh
I posted about the return of Boo.com a while ago. Being a connected company someone’s been out doing the rounds letting ‘interested’ people know that Boo are moving to the next phase of relaunch – see this comment. I don’t mind people…
Joost on the Mac
Joost for the Mac got properly launched on Saturday (well into public beta anyway), so like a good little nerd I rushed off and downloaded it straightaway. First impressions… Very slick piece of software Very intuitive Video quality is…
I’ve never seen this before…
I was searching for “Sothern Trains” and I got this error from Google. Quite a surprise. Google is one of those services you expect never to give you an error. And when something odd happens it doesn’t feel like a brand letting you down…
More On UGC Cash
Thanks to everyone who’s offered to join – as Russell says, we are ‘The User’… But for goodness sake, keep quiet! What if the marketers hear about our evil plot?
