I'm not sure why I really like Melt...but I do. After all, there's really nothing that's particularly groundbreaking about this social photo and messaging application for iOS. It might be the fact that it has a very cool name or it might be the very minimalistic qualities of its simple interface. Or it might well be that it's just the place to get your favorite photos vindicated, liked and commented on. While, of course, we can always post our interesting photos on Facebook or any number of other social networks, there's no guarantee that your blaze friends will acknowledge them. ... Read more
It seems kind of ironic to even contemplate turning Facebook into a coffee table book.

Well, that is exactly what Likebook is. You can have your Likebook - in soft or hard cover - delivered quickly to your door and ... Read more
I have a friend who runs a cafe locally and I checked out the online reviews for the place the other day. They varied from ultra-complimentary (probably written by themselves) to ultra-critical (probably written by people from rival cafes.) To be quite honest, it didn't tell me much about the place.

It takes it's 'reviews' from the comments on the pages of social media to give you a much broader overview ... Read more

You'd be crazy not to look at it. GlobAllShare claims to be the future of social networking. It also offers the chance for early subscribers ... Read more

There has been much rumbling from Facebook users of late concerning how much they dislike the volume of advertising that has encroached onto their news feeds.

A friend of mine recently made the comment that he was amazed that so many of his friends were 'ardent philosophers' given the amount of life affirming memes and quotations that they were posting these days.
