• New Twitter button and the end of tweetmeme – Interesting to read about the various different Twitter Retweet Buttons (including the new official Twitter one) that are available to us bloggers and how they vary in their counts and what other analytics that they provide – I think I'll be switching to the Topsy retweet button soon!

Lost Series Finale Review – The Long Con?

So it’s been a few weeks now since the Lost series finale in which we got all the the answers (or not), how was that ending for you? Do you still want more Lost Season 6 answers? Put it this way, had I been satisfied with it, I probably wouldn’t have felt the need to put my thoughts down here, so I guess at least it ended in being a talking point like it has been all the way through.

I think watching Lost has been like following people dropped in a fast flowing river, you get carried away in the moment, passing by lots of interesting stuff, but never get to stop and actually investigate the detail of what is actually there.

Has the joke has been on us all along? Especially after the creators/writers would smile away in interviews when the question of writing towards the known ending was asked. Perhaps they got bored with their own ideas that they’d throw into the series, so it was less work to not bother explaining stuff? Perhaps they had to just keep throwing random unrelated new stuff into the mix as a means of spinning out a 10 episode mini-series into 6 years or working in Hawaii – a nice little earner if you can get it eh?

• ITV HD on Sky HD – How To Guide – Having Sky HD running on a big screen HDTV looks great for all the Sky HD channels that there are, unfortunately when you then go back to a standard definition ITV picture (because ITV HD is officially only viewable on Freeview HD), it really shows up how much worse the picture can be, especially when watching a football game. However, the good news is that you can get around this and view ITV HD on your Sky HD box – just follow how to guide and you can watch all those ITV football games in glorious HD goodness!

My Delicious Bookmarks aka Cool Online Stuff! (10th March 2010)

Here’s some of the cool webpages and online stuff that I’ve found whilst roaming around the Internet recently and decided to add them to my online favourite bookmarks…

• Wayne unwillingly goes wireless for the weekend – An interesting blog post about what happens if you have an online business and you lose your landline broadband internet access…this reminds me I really need to figure out a better back up other than going to the local cafe to use their free wifi!
• Apple Continues Its Crackdown On the iPhone App Store – It looks like Apple’s wielding its mighty axe again and removing apps from its App Store that it had previously approved, nothing like moving the goalposts eh? I’m guessing that removing these free website content apps is in preparation for the Kindle ebook reader replacement, the iPad? The less free options to compete with the iPad’s paid-only content the better? Or am I just being to cynical about this move?
