What is Social Networking?
by Allan on Mar.19, 2009, under Social Networking Sites, twitter
First off, let me tell you what social networking isn’t, it isn’t a quick fix, sure fire way for you or your web site to suddenly become the next "big thing", it isn’t for teenagers and the 20-somethings and it isn’t as addictive as some would have you believe!
OK, so what is it all about then? Well, in its simplest terms, irrespective of what site you are actually using, a social networking site is a web site that brings users together for a common cause, be that discussing "friends" or learning a foreign language. Businesses can use social networking sites to interact with their existing customers, to develop new customers or to seek advice and assistance from "gurus" in a whole gamut of skills such as marketing, software development, creativity, anything and everything in fact.
There are literally thousands of social networking sites, the most widely known and used probably being:
Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/ - Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life.
Bebo - http://www.bebo.com/ - Bebo is the next generation social networking service where members can stay in touch with their College friends, connect with friends, share photos, discover new interests and just hang out.
Twitter - http://twitter.com/ - Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
Jailbreaking iPhone 3G 2.2.1 Firmware
by Allan on Mar.19, 2009, under Technolgoy
Well, despite the imminent release of the new 3G v3 firmware, I took the plunge and, using QuickPwns 2.2.5-2 release I Jailbreaked my 3G iPhone currently running firmware release 2.2.1
How didi it go? Well, after backing up my iPhone initially through iTunes it was a piece of cake! Only problem I had, once I’d run the installer and had actually Jailbreaked the phone, was when I installed an application off Cydia called LogoMe which I was going to use to customise the power up logos, thing was when I flashed the image (as instructed) the phone suddenly turned into a brick - least thats what I thought! So, I plugged her back in and restored through iTunes and went through the whole process again!
Time consuming, but not a problem.
Phones working the best now, loads of new features, and recommended Cydia applications would be:
- Swirly MMS - costs $8 for the licence but allows sending MMS
- biteSMS - costs £3.95 for a full licence and allows you to delete specific messages in SMS threads, forward SMS
- ABGrouper - allows you to create Groups of your contacts
- Winterboard - so that you can add new themes and much much more!
Interesting to read though what will be in the v3 firmware release.
