Today my brand new HTC Desire arrived in the post, after much delay, from the UK. Given that I’ve watched a few of the unboxing videos on Youtube and elsewhere, I thought I’d do my own. I plan on doing a review of the HTC Desire in a week or so, after I’ve gotten used [...]
I just got a copy of the latest Campaign Monitor e-newsletter and was so impressed that I thought I’d comment on it, and some of the items that I think are worth checking out. Campaign Monitor are an email service provider – that is, they let you manage email campaigns to subscribers and provide analytics. [...]
UK Labour is taking the General Election very seriously – and is steaming ahead with its online engagement. With the polls showing that around a third of the electorate is still undecided, this outreach is especially important.

UK Labour has unleashed their latest salvo against the Tories, in the form of a poster criticising David Cameron for wanting to turn Britain into an international minnow.

In yet another great week for Tony Abbott (@tonyabbottMHR), the Opposition Leader has admitted that he hadn’t really recovered from the Ironman event before embarking on a 1000km bike ride. “To tell you the truth, I don’t think I’m really recovered from the Ironman.
