London is a very big city and on any given week there is something like 600 concerts to choose from featuring everything from Irish folk to top 40 to the very best classical orchestras in the world. There's also around 30 different theatrical performances playing not to mention the 11000 bars and restaurants at your disposal.

This crowd sourcing community application is a new social app where users create, ...  More

Having worked in the movie and video industry for quite a few years I can spot a film buff at twenty paces.

It's a place where movie and tv geeks of all persuasions can list and display movies, read reviews and watch trailers and then recommend their favorites to their friends in true film buff style.   It's a funny thing about the true film fan (or music or book ...  More

So here's the scenario. The last time I was in San Francisco I spotted this cool alarm clock in Chinatown with Mao's face on the dial. Now for some reason that I'm not going to go into here, I didn't buy my Mao clock and have regretted it ever since. Wouldn't it be great if I had a friend there who I could just message and they could nip down there and pick me one up and send it over to me. Well we might not all have a friend in San Francisco but Map Of Needs could come to your rescue if you don't.   Map of Needs connects people needing something done in a specific location with ...  More
