I was hoping to draw the Fancy Bonanza prize today so I went to look through the hashtag on Twitter and discovered… I couldn’t see tweets older than 6 days old! Argh! I thought I had 30 days of the hashtag archive to play with! This meant that I couldn’t draw the prize in good…

Lane Bryant, your market is changing #teamfance
Let me preface this with a huge disclaimer: I’m Australian and I’ve never shopped at Lane Bryant, however I have bought a couple of Lane Bryant dresses second-hand via the fatshionista community. Through reading fat-o-sphere blogs, I’ve gained a bit of understanding about how LB have catered to a disenfranchised market and how for some…
Friendship in the social age
I think a lot of people confuse networking for friendship in this age. It could have started with Myspace (a moment of silence please!) and the golden era of fifty billion “friends” but more and more it seems like lots of people favour a bajillion acquaintances in preference to a handful of buddies. Recently I…
Show us your doodle. Your lunchdoodle!
Some smart, funny and good looking people (who will no doubt quibble over how I’ve linked them!) came up with the idea of lunch doodles over Twitter, and they’d been showing each other the funny drawings they’d done while eating lunch (or working, but don’t tell their bosses that!) I thought it was such a…
I can’t quit you Twitter
My #twitterbreak lasted approximately two days, and I had to break my “fast” because I simply couldn’t remain mute any longer. People who aren’t Twitter-savvy yammer on about how it’s just a bunch of self absorbed people blagging on about what they ate for breakfast, and a recently released study completely pooh-poohed the social media…
The great #twitterbreak
I am a huge advocate of Twitter, I admit it without shame. At first I didn’t really get it because I thought it was just a standalone status broadcaster, kind of like facebook but without the risk of friends and family members tagging awful photos of you. After finding Plurk I even declared that Twitter…
My DestroyTwitter theme – unicorns pooping
I have used a few different twitter clients in my time, but at the moment I’ve been trying out Destroy Twitter. Today I found out that if I upgraded to the 1.4.6 Beta prerelease I’d be able to use different themes. This instantly extended the amount of time I’m going to be using Destroy Twitter!…
The Cupcakening
Today I went to a cupcake picnic, organised by the lovely @shique! We got to sample one from The Cupcake Parlour and another from Poppy Cakes. The cupcake I had from The Cupcake Parlour was a vanilla with this blobby blue icing, I found the cupcake to be amazing and moist but the icing was…
The girl’s gone micro-blogging crazy
Let me tell you the story about three little blogging platforms, Twitter, Tumblr and Plurk. It all started with a girl who liked to explore the minutiae of people’s lives… I tried to get into this style of blogging early last year, starting with Pownce. Random people started offering me files like they were big…
In other news, there is no news
This strangely moves me… and by the way, how amazing is it that you can now post videos on Flickr? I found it on TwitBuzz, after rediscovering my own neglected Twitter account. Join me! It’s (reportedly) the cool thing to do. Maybe one day I’ll Twitter about something incredibly embarrassing and instantly regret ever signing…
