Google’s Beta testing its new service designed to improve Google’s image library. The concept is that you ‘tag’ the image randomly displayed to you and an anonymous partner.
So how does this help all 5.999 billion other citizens of the world? When you tag the image (provided you and your partner do so sensibly), your tag will be added to the image. The next time someone searches for that tagged image, it’ll be higher up the rankings. Not much will be done if one person did it, but on the …
One of two things are going to happen. Either Steve Jobs is up to his usual tricks and is investing in ways to send those who follow Apple’s patterns off the trail, or MacRumours (and others) have got something right.
The sudden outburst of rumours are generally fuelled by the evidence spotted in the MacRumours forum. They noticed Apple’s recent purchase of www.me.com. This was recently followed by the acquisition of www.mobileme.com. I’m no expert, but it’s a safe bet that these domains cost a lot of money, as the …
It’s here! Unbelievably, for some reason, not found before, by the masses, Internet Explorer has been ported (well…) for Intel OS X. Using the Wine platform, IE6 and IE7 has been ported to Linux, then to OS X.

I know hundreds of keen Twitter users. We’ve been there since the start, and loved it all the way. However, it seems that now the huge media boom surrounding it, and other social networking systems, it’s struggling to keep up. Constantly being bombarded with excuses, errors and more does not help its user-count.
It’s a classic case of the developers doing the business-man’s job. Having received over $80 million in funding, and still unable to afford scalable servers is quite frankly a scare.
Twitter’s always been built on Ruby, from the …
Perhaps could have worded the title better, but it gets the message across. I just switched over to Feedburner (used to use in-house methods) to see what all the fuss was about. So, joined up and claimed my feed. Not too bad. I admit, I had to do it about three times, as it never seemed to save my details. Great! Now what?
This is the point where most bloggers that don’t have a web developer at their disposal stumble. Great, I’ve got my shiny new Feedburner account, and decided to …
