BlykWatch: Retired, no news, we move on
Last week we posted the last in our fortnightly series, BlykWatch, by Ricky Chotai. Thank you Ricky! It started off promisingly — and it really did give us a brilliant insight into how the service was working. Now, though… apart from complaining about the lack of data or the odd weird advert — or having [...]

Ricky catches us up on a couple week’s worth of Blyk — Firstly this week’s edition covers the last two weeks of my Blyk usage. Last time I blogged about Blyk I was not impressed, thing were starting to bore me. Well it seems the chaps at Blyk have decided to pull their socks up, [...]
Blykwatch – Boring, some excitement please!

BlykWatch is moving to weekly coverage
Our BlykWatch column by Ricky Chotai is coming shortly. He’s got so much stuff moving with Blyk at the moment that, short term, we’re swapping to publishing weekly.
