I have been playing with Mflow for a little while and made a few attempts at trying to write a blog post to explain what it does and how I felt about it. Mflow now have a video that explains really well what it does. The application is really nicely developed and relatively intuitive to [...]
The route to me trying out the 3 UK | Huawei mobile WiFi device was a circuitous one. Whatleydude put me in touch with his colleague Michelle who works on 3 UK’s mobile buzz programme when I found out my broadband repair was going to take a year. Ok first about the whole MiFi thing, [...]

With the move in job, I was interested in getting a multi-Twitter account desktop client for personal and work account use. Multiple accounts open in Firefox doesn’t really cut it. Nambu has an intuitive interface and makes Twitter easy to manage without taking up a whole lot of digital real-estate on your screen. In an [...]
Back in February 2008 I reviewed the Sonim XP1, which restarted up the toughphone segment when it was launched around about the same time as the Samsung Solid. You can read the earlier review of the phone here. Just in time for Christmas, Sonim have put out review copies of the XP3 which is an [...]

As a social media expert, of I use the term expert loosely, given the constant change in the field, perhaps adventurer would be better here? I have profiles on lots of social media properties with foolish names like Twitter, Plurk, Flickr and Poo (ok I made the last one up as I was feeling juvenile). [...]

The site is hosted on a grid service by the clever people at Media Temple (mt).
