Like vs Plus. Finish him!!

Media_httplikevsplusc_xzweb

A cool little site letting you pick your social button. Click the image to fight!

I've not had as much time as I would have liked to dive deeper in to Google + over the past week, but every day it just keeps getting better. Maybe it's the smaller crowd, maybe it's the G+ geeks like myself, but this service IS your social network. Not Farcebook's ad ridden, group adding, farmville, face tagging tosh version of your social network.

Well in truth I'm sure all the ads and games and other items will sadly come along at some point, but until the + on!

Join me on the +side

Why Mobile Users Aren’t Checking In. Proof of check in fatigue.

Media_http6mshcdncomw_bvdrn

I got check in fatigue last year, not really a surprise when business uptake outside of the USA is low and benefits and incentives are nothing more than spamming facebook and twitter. Still room for something cool in this space though...

Facebook-Photos 60 Billion. Picasa-7 Billion. Flickr 5 billion. 'Don't tag me bro!'

Media_http8mshcdncomw_fxdnb

All great if you don't mind facebook, and just upload happy snaps to the site. However if you choose to close up shop and you try and get them out their walled garden if it all goes tits up in the future... good luck!

Certainly facebook has a poor track record of getting anything OUT of it's site so far, but many will likely not care. And with so many images anyway, were never going to get to see them all anyway, are we? I mean who is going to want to see those snaps of that night...y'know, the one the nun and the donkey brought the mayonnaise round?

I'll just keep mine on Picasa & flickr thanks Mr. Zuckerberg : )

A random oatmeal I came across today is still timely, as just received someones new website complete with huge RSS icon, shiny graphics and wait for it...flash intro.

It's almost retro : )

FOX able to laugh at themselves in excellent Social Media parody

For those that don't know USA national News channel Fox has overdosed this year on Social Media with tickers, tweets, FB posts and updates galore.

Only a matter of time before the parody started, and it's particularly good. The kinda really cool thing though is that this has been made BY a local fox station.

Always nice to see someone able to laugh at themselves, but I do hope those high above in Murdoch's empire have a sense of humour too.

I'm Stephen Scott, more news at 11. And now over to Tiffany for the weather...Tiffany?
