Sorry for the pun but I’m afraid this one leaves me a bit cold (Ed - there goes another rib...). What’s funny is that a lot of apps promote their ability to help you cut down on clutter such as scraps of paper and Post-It notes whereas this one actively encourages you to recreate the same squalid looking mess on your PC rather than stuck to your fridge door. If you’re a Facebook user you can create an account and set up your own efridge and what’s more you can post notes on any Facebook user’s efridge. Just why you’d want to ... Read more
I imagine the developers of this one have a huge ambition of their own and that is to actually develop something worth logging in to. As it stands I really can’t see the point of it at all. Billed as a platform where you can "maintain a public list of all of your big ambitions in life" the site has been around since the middle of 2011. Looking at the members however they all seem to have registered within the last couple of months so it’s obviously taken a while to get off the ground. The issue I have though is ... 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. ...

I always wondered how publishers reclaimed monetary compensation when content on their site is copied. Up until now the answer to that has been "with great difficulty and an awful lot of trust." However, with the introduction of this social sharing and analytical site, there is now an opportunity for publishers to track when their content is copied and also provides a tool that includes a link back to your site when it is pasted. Po.st is a win for both the publisher and their audience. Unlike alternatives like ShareThis and AddThis, Po.st is the only social sharing platform ... Read more

This one looks like an awful lot of work for just a trophy badge and the chance of a $20 gift card now and then but it has only just emerged from private beta so we’ll put the acid filled pen away……for now. The concept is based on the perception that people who find an amazing deal somewhere will not be able to stop themselves from spreading the news. I agree to a point but it does fall down somewhere in my opinion. I am all for spreading the news of discounted food or gas as it is a charitable thing to ... Read more
