    A Whooper of a Social Networking Saga

    We like to bring a range of stories and commentaries to the GG blog. What follows is as much for your stomach as your social network. And could do damage to both… In the light of Facebook’s fifth birthday (yesterday) have you heard that the ‘King’ of the burger giants has created an application for [...]

    Facebook can't come to the phone right now…

    The humble telephone, at one time purely for voice-to-voice communication, now with a new competitor in town. The proposed (and rather crassly named) INQ1 from 3 functions to keep you ‘Alive with your social life’ and up-to-date with any number of SNSs that are streamed straight to your mobile. Intended for launch by the UK’s [...]

    GirlGeeks, step away from the computer!

    Ok I’ve been ‘away’ from my GirlGeekdom dedication for a while (in case you don’t know, I’ve two weeks left until I submit for my doctorate – phew!) So in the run up to submission date, I’ve been negotiating the (yet to be mastered), all too subtle art of digital notification. This involves learning to [...]

    Google Calling

    Don’t download now: Your privacy exposed

    Readers familiar with the GirlyGeekdom blog and Girl Geek Dinners, will have heard me wax lyrical on my doctorate research; the Seriously Social of social media. Basically an excuse to spend time surfing Facebook and other affiliated Web 2.0 resources. This week I’ve been taking notice of the Scientific American, whose special issue: ‘Will Technology [...]

    Snap my knicker elastic

    Ok, so I am a little late in the day with this post in terms of timing, but last months (how retro2.0 of me) Wired Magazine had an article (and cover) led by Julia Allison. I’m sorry, Who? Oh you too. Well Girl Geek’s could there (finally) be a leading lady in technology and with [...]
