It's probably the introduction of devices like smartphones and tablets that have brought about the likes of an app like Startific. iPhones and iPad have their apps lined up so neatly and precisely within the interface that we now realize how pleasant and efficient it is to have all our accessible information laid out at our fingertips via their colorful icons. Startific is a beautiful, functional and customizable startpage where you can import and organize all your most important links, bookmarks, icons and widgets so that they are now just a fingertip away from access.

We've all got an embarrassing story about misheard lyrics in songs that you think you are totally familiar with. Desmond Dekker's classic hit "The Israelites" always baffled me when I was a kid because I was convinced that Mr Dekker was telling me that his 'ears are alight.' Maybe you had to be there. Of late, there was a Foo Fighters song where I always wondered who the Allison was and why it was the last song he'd write to her. It wasn't until recently that I found out that Dave was singing "I listen, but your out of tune" and the song was about Kurt Cobain. MusicLyrics is a new music ... More

I used to work for a concert promoter a few years back and I remember talking to him in his car one night about a Clash tour he was promoting. He was damned worried that $13 per ticket was going to prove too costly and no one would buy tickets at that price. Gee, how things have changed. Back in those days you could generally but a ticket on the night and have change to pick up a tshirt too. These days, however, you have to mortgage the house six months ahead to be sure of getting a ticket. So, as a consequence, we all miss out on watching some of our favorite music artists live.

There has been a bit of a battle going on between Twitter and Instagram (and, of course, it's parent company Facebook) over the last few months. First up, Twitter launched its new video service called The Vine and described it as 'Instagram for Video.' This was coupled with Twitter stopping Instagram photos from turning up in people's streams. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time but, as we all know, part of Instagram's appeal is its unique set of filters that give photos that Instagrammatical look and The Vine fails to deliver that. So now we have a new photo and video app ... More
If you have a YouTube channel you will probably know only too well how difficult it is to get more subscribers to sign up with you. If you have a Facebook Page you will be only too familiar with how the general public tend to think and how hard you have to work to get people to like your page. But, while there have been a significant number of apps produced to help your Facebook Page gain followers there has been a paucity to give your YouTube channel the same kick up the bum. So it's my pleasant duty to tell you that finally, there is a way to work with other channels and increase your ... More
