Plundering UGC Cash, Who’s In?
I’ve just been flicking through New Media Age. And after my earlier comment about User Generated Content, I was dismayed to see how many column inches have been given over to terrible UGC ideas – but with MASSIVE cash prizes. I did a quick…
Nice Altoids Idea
I think this is really nice. In the swamp of dirty UGC ideas that we have to endure, here’s one that floats to the top, like cream, not a turd. It’s got a limited lifespan, but that’s OK. Simple idea, you can leave a valentine’s message on…
Twitter Mobile – It’s the Little Things
Just set up Twitter to work with my mobile. And this just exemplifies the thought and smartness that have gone into the application. And what’s so good about it? The code that you have to text in, is all made up of letters that are on the…
Twittering On, and On

Commuting Made Me Do It…
My name is Iain. I’ve only done Sudoku once. But I think I sort of enjoyed it… Commuting has something to be said for it. You get a block of time that you can use to do stuff. I think I could learn something from giving myself blocks of…
Virgin Media Really Sucks
Above you can see the promise made by Virgin Media on their website. Below you can read about my experience and how it differs from the above. I know Virgin Media is new, and I know it’s bound to have teething problems. But there’s only so…

No need to say anything really… Thanks to David for the link
The Best Online Advertising Ever?
This is one of the only banners in recent months that I’ve actually clicked on. I knew I shouldn’t, but I just had to… But you know what the real f**ker is! It doesn’t even make a bloody noise. I felt so cheated it’s untrue. The least they…
Virgin Media – Customer Control?
Well, Virgin Media launched today with a big old shout: a full wrapper of the Metro and putting Richard Branson in a box in Covent Garden (as only he would do). I like the way they’ve simplified some things, and all their talk of customers…
