“For those who prefer their pleasure shared, rather than solitary, VR might also improve social media, using the ability to create shared tele-reality,” reports The Economist on why this next generation of Virtual Reality will live up to the promise of its premise unlike its […]
The Preevioo app launched in the App Store this week and just by the little preview video it not only looks interesting enough that I want to try it, but it’s potential as a future sexy app looks promising. When Snapchat came out, there was […]
Adult media can be described in all sorts of ways, but quirky and adorable are two adjectives generally not attributed to it. The e-tail site GameLink, however, is changing that particular perception just in time for the Internet to be flooded with heavy discourse. So […]
We recently told you about the Pornocalypse, or rather, why it matters and why you should care. We heard from Ms Naughty, the Australian feminist pornographer who has spent the last few years fighting battle after battle with the prudish social media networks; fine with […]
My younger brother had one question for me when he landed in Spain for a visit. He was twiddling about with his iPhone 5c, a slightly tragic expression on his face. I looked down at the phone, and saw an anonymous, smiling face, as well […]
If you’re ever asked what the most annoying aspect of Facebook is, the majority of people will probably say it’s the abundance of baby photos that pepper their timeline. Social media is primed for sharing every single detail about your life in an effort to […]
Hype is king in this day and age. Ello’s rapid rise to prominence in the world’s media and online was fostered by a PR masterclass. At a time when disaffection with Facebook is at its highest, and Twitter’s continual ignorance and mis-handling of abuse and […]
This last seven days or so, all our feeds have been full of articles and comments & hashtags about Ello.co, a new platform that we’ve talked about here before. 1) Signing up for the beta by visiting this page – Just enter your email to proceed and then […]
Murmurs of dissent against the original social media overlords Facebook have grown steadily over the past couple of years. Since their much-publicized stock market flotation, aggressive drive towards more advertising and seeming disregard for applying the changes their users actually want (not to mention the […]
Many things puzzle me about modern life. I rather suspect that I have begun the inexorable slide into old fogeydom, and that I will now spend the rest of my life muttering that I don’t understand young people nowadays and how it wasn’t like this […]
Sometimes life gets hard and it feels like there is no way out, we get it. Everyone gets down in the dumps sometimes. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t work to change your life. The time for change is always now. Here are 5 […]
At the turn of June/July, the most ridiculously silly and brilliant social networking platform was revealed: a network using only emojis – you know, those lil’ pictures in texts you use when you forget how to use words? According to an article in Salon, developers […]
Tinder has exploded into the dating scene with its nifty app that allows you to pick a mate from the comfort of anywhere-the-hell-you-are using only your mobile phone. If you haven’t heard of it, then I suggest you get your best photo ready, download the […]
This week saw the nomakeupselfie nominations become a viral phenomenon, and nearly GBP 2m was raised for breast cancer charities. If you’ve missed the whole saga, woman were nominated by their friends to take a selfie without any make up on, and then upload it […]
There’s something wrong with this picture, and we all know it. Yesterday I spent fifteen minutes sharing a silent carriage with bored commuters, their faces screen-lit, eyes glued to the screen, fingers racing across screens to complete a level or swiping lazily down a Facebook […]
Snapchat has taken sexting to a whole new level. Where once people were afraid to send naughty pics for fear of exposure (although that didn’t stop many of them), now they’re free to send as many naughty pics as they want because all images sent […]
Consumerism in the 21st century is more influenced by the opinions of other consumers than by advertising. The thumbs up system on Facebook, YouTube and other websites are now in command of what products and services we decide to purchase with our hard-earned cash. Every […]
Following on from a previous article about privacy in a world of social media, today we look a little further into the subject. In this technological age, is the notion of privacy obsolete? How has technology changed the way we act, interact, and expect others […]
My best guy friend met a hot chick in a bar one night. They exchanged numbers and within a few days he had a sweet collection of very hot photos, which he showed us all. The guys gawked while I thought, wow, is this what […]
When Twitter was born I vowed to boycott and shit-talk it as much as I could until it faltered and faded away like Friendster. I made the same promise when Starbucks started popping up everywhere, and you can see how effectual I was. Realizing it […]
