Google+ looks like a duck to me.
Google denies that Google+ is a social network. What it is, they cannot tell you exactly. “It’s email, Twitter, circles, hangouts, chat, documents, photo sharing, collaboration, friendship, business… all rolled into one!” And that, to me, sounds pretty social, don’t you think? Google’s track record with social networks hasn’t been awesome. If I was in their shoes, I would say the same thing, just in case it flunks like the rest of it. “ooh no, we’re not competing against Facebook or...
read moreFriedEggs with your Twitter?
We all love Facebook, and a lot of us like Twitter, and now there’s the next one – I believe; FriedEggs.com. It’s kind of a combination of the two, and also updates both of the above if you wish it to.

You can’t spend your time...

Computers, the Internet and social networks can be very confusing to new users. People wonder, if it’s professional for a teacher to be on Facebook at all, or if we can ignore friend requests from people we hardly know. Some people can’t see the difference between a business network and a dating site, which is not really that surprising as there are still people who don’t know the difference between an email and an Instant Message through MSN. (Or the difference between a book and a magazine for that matter.) It IS...
read moreAvatar as a part of your online presence
If you are serious about your online presence or otherwise just everywhere and want people to recognise you outside your normal circles, avatar is the best way to do this.
