If you are posting original content on Facebook or Twitter, you’re stupid. No polite way to put it. You’re an idiot. Every day I see great thoughts, photos and other inspiring original content posted on Facebook and it makes me cringe. It is like cooking an interesting organic and original meal and… Continue reading Why Google wants to stop me blogging

How to know when not to buy the latest gadget
It’s almost a decade since I bought my first DSLR. A Canon 10D. “Barely” 6.3 megapixel resolution, most smartphones I would consider buying these days have more than that.

The fun part is that – just like in social media… Continue reading Do evil: using social media to destroy competitors. Or anyone you don’t like
Facebook ads don’t add up: how I proved they are cheating
“So why don’t you cheat?” It took me a while to recover. My father has always been my moral compass.

If my cell phone just spent one second asking me at the end of each call how to classify the communication, it could quickly build meaningful intelligence on how best to handle calls so as to avoid interruptions.
How to really beat Facebook or Twitter either as a competitor or as a legislator
I have a plan so cunning, Black Adder wouldn’t even understand it. Building true intelligence within social media, but with a pretty face so that it doesn’t scare people away. It will be like giving you a supermodel intelligent secretary for free.
