Time to read: < 1 minute This is a short compilation of what I have been up to, on twitter, courtesy of the vizify team. I’ve had a vizify bio for a long time now, and for new year’s, they’ve added in the “year on twitter” page to it. Turns out that, predictably, my post popular topic was #365, thanks to […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes Twitter is a news-snippet drip-feed So it can be the BBC telling you about the UN vote on Palestine happening live, or your cousin posting a photo about a skirt she’s trying on, asking you what you think. Twitter is a place where everyone -and i mean everyone- can broadcast a short snippet of something […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes So I’m doing a presentation. And of course, as part of the process, I am going to stand up in front of my audience and say the formulaic “Hello, my name is Sophie and I’m a…” User Experience Architect. You’re disappointed, I know. This is a two-fold post. Firstly, I would like to confess that […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute So I’ve decided that I like writing quite a lot, and i should have a platform for storing said writings. My confabulations and findings will henceforth reside on exintaris.com, with varied amounts of verbosity and pedantic prose. You aren’t, by any means, requested or expected to read any of these meanderings. If you do, however, […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute Was looking for interesting twitter statistics, and found this. I would like to suggest an amendment to the top 100 tweets. There is definitely room for “rants about bad transport”… […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutes If you have a problem with your bank, you call them! No? Well, I did. But first… I had a problem with HSBC, so I tried going into the branch to talk to someone. They sent me to the phones. After half an hour, I was told there was nothing they could do, and I […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes It all began with a simple tweet. Marks and Spencer advertised Autumn outfit ideas, and posted the link to a page with a nice scrolling gallery. Looked like flash. It wasn’t, it’s designed in HTML/CSS, making it in theory very accessible. I browsed the gallery quickly, all items popped up as “out of stock” when […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute We’ve all heard about not bashing work on facebook or checking in on foursquare if we’re sick at home… What nobody had heard of before though, was an athlete being kicked off her national team for a joke. A rather racist (no, not racy) joke, but a joke nonetheless. Hell, I smirked when I read […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute I got off the train this morning at London’s waterloo station to be greeted by the cutest car in the world! A lovely morgan (I should’ve known it was a morgan!!) branded in Thomas Pink (pink) Union Jack. So I took a photo and tweeted it. (Thank you, iPhone!) Later that day, I get a […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutes In the spring of 2010, a friend of my best friend told me she wanted a website. I asked “what for?”. A supper club. I can’t even remember if I knew what those were at the time, but they were all the rage. I love making websites and getting people a presence on the internet […] continue reading »
