I'm only jealous as I wish I was going to The Irish Blog Awards :) Sitting in with the kids is just as good. Honest :)

Tweet this, sucka

Friday, February 29th, 2008

The messaging/status service I want is somewhere between a blog and the status message in an instant messenger application. After a quick slap on the head, I've finally signed up to Twitter. I'd have preferred Jaiku but like so many Google acquisitions, I have no idea if it's going to be ...

The closest I can get to a link post.

Tom Raftery asks: "Are you experiencing FaceBook fade?" Damn right. Not that it ever was a shining example of anything in the first place. I didn't even get a chance to tire of Werewolves, Knighthoods and the seemingly ubiquitous FunWall (where people you barely know can post pornography on your profile). ...

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Paul Walsh is looking to recruit some "top cats" for some reason. If you're a bigwig somewhere and you'd like to massage your ego and talk to other bigwigs, then rock on over. You'll know if you fit in because it's all about Established... ...senior decision maker... ...secured VC funding or have ...
