Twitter is broken and as usual they have a very cute image to let you know.  I’ve decided to blog about all the cute error messages I come across, as I find them.  So far, as I recall, Twitter is winning on it’s ‘I’m broken’ notices.  Although, another site might have the potential to make…

I just discovered Gapingvoid.com which has really excellent blog posts about social media and general workplace stuff, each one illustrated with hilarious cartoons, like the following one: It’s all creative commons licenced and done by Hugh macleod. And you can have these on your own business cards, and there’s a couple of apps with them…

So I’m probably going to keep my blog at WordPress and just add some more pages to it because it doesn’t seem worth the complications of leaving a dead blog here and trying to get people to read at my new location etc. Apart from that, I had reason to edit my Facebook relationship status…

So I just copied my blog over to bethgranter.com/blog/ just to see if I could, and so I could have a go at using WordPress for a CMS so I know how to do it for clients.  It was pretty successful and now I’ll be able to edit the CSS to my liking, although I…

A post about work… Last week I presented my design for the University of Sussex’s social networking community mashup site to pilot groups. We did it in the InQbate (creativity) centre, which has lots of projectors and space for running around in. It was much more fun than sending out a questionnaire and a link…

On Virb.com today, this made me laugh: I like their tone. I hope I’m organised. This was on the page where you accept friend requests. I was there because I was declining a friend request from a band I didn’t like. Maybe the above message should only come up if you’ve gone to that page…

Facebook have brought out ‘Pages’ for organisations, bands, artists and celebrities. I’m sure I set myself up as an ‘artist’ but I seem to have come out as a celebrity. Fine by me. If you like my illustrations, add yourself as a fan. With a ‘Page’ you get a nice chart showing page views. Once…

Songza.com is the best site I’ve seen in the last couple of months. A music search engine / jukebox which also provides a player for your site, but WordPress seems to strip the HTML code so I can’t figure out how to put it in here 🙁 Shame it’s not integrated with last.fm too. Wasted…

In the last 24 hours I’ve had 17 new people follow me on Twitter, without even twitting anything new. All the usernames of these people are of politicians, with a number after, e.g. denniskucinich4. They’re obviously being run by the same person but I don’t understand the point of them following me. Maybe it’s just…

What?  OK so not really.  But I just got very disturbed by their advert for how secure their laptops are.  The idea I imagine is supposed to show a guard-dog patrolling around the laptops.  But the effect is like when you see those poor zoo animals who have been driven insane by being cooped up…
