I'm so bored of people talking about the potency of social media sites that I've decided to go on a journey in a helium balloon - I've already tipped off the Berkhamsted and Tring Gazette . I'd never really considered or cared what sort of biscuit Gordon Brown preferred but the great...
The news today that the Mail Online is to stop checking user comments before they go live could not only make it the most visited website in the UK, but possibly the one with the largest and most active community. A potentially very powerful combination. New Media Age is reporting that Associated Newspapers...
Even by the Daily Mail's hateful standards, today's online poll is a corker. Based on a flimsy 'shock' story that will never actually happen but is guaranteed to get morons across middle-England foaming at the mouth with indignation, the poll asks the question: 'Should the NHS allow...
The series of 22 weekly videos to mobiles, designed to prevent teenage pregnancy have been severely criticised by The Taxpayer's Alliance. Based on figures from the BBC, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) initiative cost £45 per subscriber as only 5,576 had registered for the...

Pssst, have you heard the latest? No, not about Barack Obama becoming the new president of the United States, nor December’s sharp fall in inflation. No, today’s ‘big news’ comes courtesy of the Daily Mail, where a dogged investigative hack has unmasked the identity of Top Gear’s tame racing driving...
Proximity has been sacked from the TV Licensing (TVL) business for which it won so many awards. Why? Because it messed up on the data it quoted regarding the number of fee evaders. The Telegraph, which broke the story, also referred to the use of false pre-printed signatures and the use of intimidatory...
It isn't like the Daily Mail needs an excuse to bash the BBC, but was there more at play in the recent "Sachsgate" affair than meets the eye? And did it cost the corporation its much vaunted BBC Local web service? It was on Popbitch today, but it is I think worth repeating in more detail...
