I haven’t seen Lee Wilkins in the flesh for a good few years. He’s been out in Romania pursuing numerous opportunities in the digital space. We still talk — or Tweet/Facebook/Email — but I don’t think I want to speak with Lee aagin. Not after I saw his Tweet last night about ZumoDrive. 27 seconds [...]

An open letter of thanks to Clickatell’s Peter de Villers
Peter, Thank you, thank you thrice thank you.

The @response function is the shittest Twitter feature
Stop it. Stop it, stop it, stop it. STOP using @reply unless it’s in a fully formed sentence. Stop sending me utter, utter bollocks. Twitter is not for conversations. That’s what INSTANT MESSENGER is for. It’s NOT for you to publicly reply to every bollocks chatty message your fingers feel like typing. I don’t CARE [...]
