Top 5 Twitter desktop applications
I know, I know! Katie has already encouraged us to stop writing about Twitter.
This doesn’t count though, as I’m purely speaking to those of us who have already fallen under the grip of the Twitter addiction. Those of us who need a desktop application to ensure we’re getting the most out of it without it taking over our lives.
There are dozens of Twitter desktop applications available, but here are a few of my favourites.
Dropbox: the find of 2009
Each year, you’re fate-bound to discover something life changing. It could be boys, it could be heather shimmer Rimmel lipstick, it could be JLS. For me, this year, it was Dropbox. I’m pretty sure that right now, if I was asked to choose between Daddy, chips and Dropbox, I would choose Dropbox (I would really miss chips, though). On the surface,... Read
There should be an app for that
As winter draws in, it strikes me that I’m no better set up against the cold dark nights than I was this time last year. And that’s despite the launch of Spotify, the arrival of a new slimline PS3, and marked leaps being made in 3D TV technology in 2009. In short, technology doesn’t seem to have helped at all. But it should! I rely... Read
BundleBox – A better way to buy from the US
For anyone who buys items from the USA regularly, you’ll know there can be a bit of a sting when you get to the checkout and discover you’ve been saddled with a big shipping bill. We’ve already covered the costs of buying from the USA, but it would seem there’s a new solution to those shipping costs. Bundle Box is a new way... Read
Top 5 Firefox Addons for Bloggers
If you spend a lot of time blogging you’ll probably have developed all kinds of shortcuts and labour-saving techniques to get those posts out in a timely fashion. Fiddling around with outbound links and photo editing can take up time that could be better spent reading Top 5 lists on the internet. Which is why I’ve combined blogging, shortcuts... Read
Cheap Flights – How to dodge the extra charges
Fancy a holiday? Even with the recession, companies like Ryanair and EasyJet are making it much easier to book ridiculously cheap flights for a weekend break or an escape from the winter chill for a week. Or so they’d have you think. Those £10, £1 or even ‘free’ flights very rarely end up like that. The cheaper airlines often charge... Read
Leila Johnston: How to make a spoof Fighting Fantasy book
Leila Johnston, creator of Worry Friends and friend of Dork Adore asked if we’d help pimp out her latest book. Instead, we told her to write us a few words about Fighting Fantasy novels and her other influences, and she duly obliged… My new book, Enemy of Chaos, came out last month. It’s being billed as a spoof Fighting Fantasy... Read
Why I love my O2 Cash Manager card
Finance isn’t usually my favourite subject. Checking my bank balance usually requires a glass and a half of wine and crossed fingers. You see, I love to shop…and I have a bit of a denial issue when using my debit card. It’s not real money if you’re not handing over cash, right? At the ripe old age of 24, it’s time I learnt... Read
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 4
Tragedy struck this evening when my Pzizz for iPhone went all wobbly and crashed. BEFORE I was quite looking forward to my Pzizz nap (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LOOK FORWARD TO THINGS). I took today as leave so, for the first time in weeks, I had the requisite eight hours’ sleep, caught up with friends, and mooched round the shops in such a... Read
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 3
Before Today I was shattered. I had a late night, an early start (yesterday’s pre-coffee cheeriness had vanished; 6am saw me blearily wandering around the house pondering what to do with the toothbrush in my hand) and a long, looooong work day. I was so tired that I could almost hear an angelic chorus as I turned my key in my front door at the end... Read
