At the moment we're seeing a number of online privacy issues, and the biggest debate at the moment is undoubtedly around companies giving your details to third parties. One such issue has arisen with Google as the studio Viacom force them to had over the IP addresses of all of...

I've written before about utilising tools that are used daily on the Internet to create a new and knowledge focused Intranet with little cost to the business (have a look through the Knowledge Management category), and in that I've talked about the use of Instant Messaging. This has been something...

I’m looking for a new online calendar application and have been using Calendar Hub for some time, while I like it, there are limitations, it’s a bit slow and cumbersome and comes up with a lot of errors when I’m trying to do some basic tasks. So I started looking...

There was, and continues to be, a big fuss about Web 2.0, but what has it actually brought the end user? From where I stand it doesn’t appear to be that much. We’ve ended up with a reliance on cumbersome widgets and closed systems, although the appearance of more and...

This afternoon I found an interesting story on a games site which had an interview with the Director who was to be filming Halo, Neil Blomkamp. The site was Joystiq, who pointed to a site called Creativity Online who had the interview. It was a really interesting interview that talked...

What a weekend. It's Filmstalker's first birthday. Yes it's one year old and amazingly I'm still managing to keep it going all by myself, and that should be raising some concerns over at MovableType as they press on trying to convince the world that they have a worthy platform for...

Just moments ago my site reported that an IP Address had been banned due to excessive comments in the last 200 seconds. One can only assume that this is an automatic spam attack. For those of you running sites that would like to avoid this, here are the details of...

The amount of self proclaimed web 2.0 applications that are starting up is incredible, there are so many clammering into such a tiny space that it's definitely a users market, but users beware, the use of the title is most often than not a con. As long as a few...

It's interesting that I've been thinking of this topic for some time and realised that it will never properly work in the wide open World of the Internet, for there is no social self-control for people, they can shout, abuse others, scream like a child, and do all the socially...

While working on the first two months of Filmstalker something I've been using are Social Bookmarking sites, or Social News sites. These are sites that allow anyone to post a link on a site along with a short comment allowing other viewers to rate the link with a single plus...

I'm angry at a number of specific people as well as a genre, shall we say, of Internet users for the continuing arrogance and abuse of content, authors rights, and people in general. It seems that with the use of the Internet something is forgotten, common decency, respect, the following...

I could hardly believe this story when I saw it, yet it's true and an extremely scare inducing thought for the future of Internet users, particularly in Britain where laws are being expanded as we speak. Shi Tao is a Chinese Journalist who was sentenced to imprisonment for a decade...

Henry Ford said that you can have any colour of car as long as it is black. However, that is not true, he never said that, and in fact the Ford T could be purchased in other colours. I do believe that it wasn't even available in black to begin...

It's amazing the amount of rubbish you get emailed on a daily basis. I use Spam Inspector for getting rid of all my Spam, although I have to say that it is $29.95 USD a year. However, I've found it excellent at clearing out my Spam and affording me the...
