Month of May, 2008

So I was feeling a bit left out, people post these mega useful things on Facebook about what they are doing, why they want to commit suicide and how they couldn't live without Facebook but I don't.

(Common updates to peoples status)

I wanted to be involved and I'm sure people will want to read what I have to say like the 73 (and dropping) who subscribe through Feedburner here on ImAFish. I read on Mashable, Digg or Techcrunch about Twitter almost every day and I will admit I've tried to stay away from it. Why would anyone want to read about what I've had for breakfast or how I curled the longest one off ever into the toilet afterwards.

It turns out people do like to know these things, weather it makes them feel more normal by seeing what others are doing or they are just generally interested I don't know. So I signed up to Twitter and configured it so I can post from my mobile phone, instant messenger and Mac dashboard. I had no excuse not to post.

I've never been a fan of Facebook (even though it sends me shed loads of traffic), in fact it pisses me off how I can't put my adverts on there (and I've tried hard - not that anyone clicks ads on Facebook) however I do already have a large number of friends on there that I'm sure are interested in my daily life. Fortunately there is a Twitter application on Facebook that will automatically update my status based on what I send to Twitter.

You will be please to know you can be expecting a lot more updates from me.

It's been a busy couple of months for me with moving house, moving office and launching two new websites (www.ipodhistory.com and www.scaryvideoclips.org). Apart from my big post on 10 useful OSX functions ImAFish has been relatively quiet.

I'm looking to expand my website portfolio over the coming months so if you have a website making a few dollars/day contact me through ImAFish and I might be interested in purchasing it.

ImAFish will be seven years old soon, I know its around this time of year we are due a birthday, if anyone can remember the exact date I will buy them a beer (and put it in my calendar!).

Berlin street performer Johan Lorbeer has an unusual approach to street performance. Just by "hanging out" on the side of a building, thousands of locals and tourists marvel as they walk by.

The internet is responsible for many terrible things, which the world tolerates as long as these terrible things stay on the internet. But some internet memes become so popular they spill out and infect the real world in ways that simply cannot be tolerated.
