W3top loosers

Take a look at this site notice anything familiar about it? Yep, that would be my “Twitter”http://www.twitter.com username and also my tweets. However that is definitely not my picture (it’s one of my friends) and it’s given false information about me such as that I live in Lancaster (I don’t) and that I’m seeking women (I’m a little old and tired to be playing the gigolo game). I don’t mind my tweets being aggregated by a third party but I don’t like my online persona hijacked.

It turns out that w3top is some online dating site that thinks it’s cool to steal other peoples personas in order to try and bulk up their fake ‘userbase’ for one reason or another. I very much doubt those reasons could be for the greater good of man.

Goodbye, Hello.

Well yesterday was my last day at New Bamboo. My day consisted mostly of consuming large amounts of xmas fare, fine red wines and drunken chat in the pub before getting lost in a thick freezing fog that had engulfed Angel. I somehow ended up doing a mile and a half walk to Kings Cross through strangely empty streets and side alleys, no doubt caused in part by the eerily thick fog and commuters eagerly leaving for home earlier than usual.

So what awaits the future? Well I can now happily reveal that I’ll be working for a London based start by the name of Vzaar, check out their blog to find out more about them if you’re interested. I’m totally stoked that I’ve been given a chance to work at Vzaar as I strongly believe that video is one of the richest ways of getting your message across on the web.

Right, I’m off to do some last minute xmas shopping. Apparently because of the credit crunch affecting buyer trends, much joy is to be found with bargains! Have a great xmas everyone:).
