Right, are you sitting down because this does get a little complicated? I've never seen a social network that works quite the same way that The Four Finder does. It seems to take the adventure aspect of Four Square and marries it to a social network as another way of introducing you to possible new friendships. The other things this social and mapping has that the others don't is a very cool name and a secret sign for members. But more about that later. The Four Finder helps you to meet new friends. If you want to introduce yourself ... Read more
Let's not fool ourselves here - we all forget things from time to time. Dont worry, it's not necessarily the onset of Alzheimer's. The fact is, we fill up our lives with so much information that it would be virtually impossible to remember everything. If you watch sporting coaches you will notice that they always have a notepad or a clipboard in their hand because even the smallest piece of information could be vital. Well, I'm not suggesting you rush out and buy a clipboard but there is a more modern way to keep up with the multitude of information ... Read more
If you are a web designer or work in digital colors on the Internet this design tool will be a big help to you when attempting to match one color to it's exact equivalent in a different format. You could say a green is a green but there are so many shadings and nuances of green, of course, that picking one in a different format by eye is not the easiest thing in the word - especially if your client has based their whole advertising campaign around that color and you've come up with what looks like the right shade. ...

Anyone who has worked in the industry, and in particular the smaller and perhaps not so blue-chip end of the market will know; documentation can often be the undoing of ... Read more

While there are plenty of free bookmarking apps available they all have their own little foibles to make them differ from the rest. Miitla is a new web application that is geared towards the regular Internet user. What makes it different from many others is the ability to quickly save any interesting sites all in the one place on a third party server while you continue to surf the net. And what that means is that you can access them wherever there is an Internet connection and at any time of the day or night. Read more
I was tempted to sign up for this one just to see what instructions you get when you do as there is very little to go on from the home page itself. I decided not to for an obvious reason that we’ll come to later. There are a lot of apps around offering you the opportunity to manage all of your bank and credit card accounts in one place and let’s face it why wouldn’t you if you have a few of them. Spreading your cash (and your debt) is a very good habit to get into but it is a ... Read more

Doing all of this in the knowledge that the environment is safe and secure is obviously the answer to all of those concerns and Vikido looks like a great place to start your ... Read more
ˈIt’s not what you but who you knowˈ is a phrase that often pops up in connection with people who manage to land a job that to the innocent bystander seems way beyond them. Well this site positively encourages you to use your friends and any influence they may have to get you a job where they work but if you don’t have a Facebook account you can’t, at least for the moment, play along. It might be simplifying it a little I suppose. After all if you wanted a job and needed to ask your friends to put in a good ... Read more
