Is Twitter any good?

Twitter, Tweets, Twitter logo, Cyprus TwitterI have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon myself lately and I must confess there are things I like about Twitter and things I dislike or I would like Twitter to change.

So what I like about Twitter is how easy you can follow someone and basically receive all of their tweets and news about them or the topic they are dealing with.

Just click on follow button and you are all set. No acceptance requests, no waiting, nothing.

What I also like is the fact that there are thousands, if not millions, of tweeters to follow from all over the globe.

Whatever the topic, there must be a tweet out there. Therefore, you have all the news you need in your hands.  Read the rest of this entry »

Nokia presents: Adventures in London

From Nokia: “Every day in every city around the world, people are pursuing their own adventures, big or small. Nokia is travelling around the world to meet these people to discover how a bit of everyday adventure can transform an afternoon, a week or a life.

These films document how the spirit of each city can influence a moment of kindness, courage, madness or collectiveness, and ultimately, why they mean so much to those who walk their streets.”

We believe Nokia is becoming one of the old-new brands rediscovering itself and catching its pace with the rest of the world.

We like it. Keep it up! (The music track is perfect for the video).
