UPDATE: Wired has ran something on this and it looks like it’s the SECOND Twitter marriage proposal!
I’m offline for a few hours and look what I miss - what must surely be the first ever marriage proposal done via Twitter. Congratulations Emily and Max! Quite literally everything is happening on Twitter these days.
Drew just pointed me in the direction of the Twitter Fan Wiki. It’s a nice resource for everything Twitter, as you’d expect. Amongst everything on there I came across this - a Matrix-like Japanese mash-up of Tweets (done by this guy). Pretty nice me thinks.
Which reminds me, have you seen this blog - Stuff White People Like. Japan is in there, which I pointed out to Ged over at RC! But then I’m just as “guilty” of loving Japanese stuff so there we go. Anyway, enjoy. There’s so much more to come from Twitter. We’re only just at the beginning when it’s all a bit noisy and people are starting to itch for the next level.
Right, it’s Friday and this is funny. Really funny I thought. It had me LOL, genuinely LOL - GLOL to be precise. Not quite ROTFL or even LMAOROTFL but GLOL none the less. See what you think. In a nutshell, man writes about a particularly crazy woman that bought his fridge. Funny entry gets picked up by the interwebs and ends up on the front page of Popurls. I read, agree and then perpetuate the cycle. Have a good weekend everyone. I think I need it and so do you.
Here’s a snippet:
3. Please call me only once with ALL your questions. I left for the day, and had 5 messages on my answering machine, the last one was at 11:30 pm. Frankly lady, you were sounding a bit too crazy by the end of the day. It’s a fridge. A small metal box that keeps shit cold. I don’t have the fridge’s family tree. For all I know the fridge’s was conceived by a slutty young Maytag that graced some hillbilly’s side porch. I don’t know the exact age of the fridge. I bought it a few years ago, I used it for a couple of months, ok, I lied, I used it a whole year. The fact is, you’re not buying a race horse, you’re buying a used fridge.

I’ve said it before and I know I’ll definitely say it again, but I really do love the Internet and everything (nearly) that it enables.
My dad (self-confessed technophobe) has just set up his brand spanking new internet radio (Roberts WM201) - using the easy to use Netgear browser interface and adding the radio manually by MAC address to the trusted access list. I was able to go to the Roberts website, download the manual and run through the whole set-up procedure with him.
He’s now happily surfing over 6,000 internet radio stations and checking out on demand content from BBC Radio 4 from his study in the Northumbrian hills (where he can’t get FM because of said hills and only just gets broadband because of the distance to the nearest exchange).
And for I think perhaps the first time ever, dad’s got a piece of kit I haven’t got! Bit jealous really . . .
Nice one dad and thank you Internet.
This is feels very wrong and drew a gasp from Charlotte (she teaches 5 year olds).
This is very odd indeed. Got via Guy Kawasaki, that he got via Truemors. No option to embed the original which is a bit annoying, so I took matters into my own hands (video below and here)
Via the almighty PSFK, best bit is right at the end . . . like in all good vids.
Well it’s not that bad really is it? But, I do think this is worth reading. Found via the good people at neoco, it might be old (really not sure) but definitely still makes you think. Was 1.0 the creation of it, 2.0 the realisation and quick-fix of it and 3.0 will be the creation of something completely different? I don’t know. But I do know that the internet isn’t all that sh*t right now and in the future (say, inside 5 years), think it’s gonna do stuff we haven’t even thought of.
