  • Trying to fit everything in

    For ages now my life has been running at 100 miles an hour, i go home every day feeling guilty that ive not done stuff i needed to do, but where do you draw the line?

    I hear about other self employed people and how they do nothing but breathe and work, and how their social life was totally put on hold until they had “made it” – but should i go as far as this? Am i not working hard enough?

    I do a full day, and from time to time i come home and work thru the evening right up until i go to sleep – but i probably only do that once a week.

    Are you self employed? How much free time do you give yourself?

    Its hard at the mo also as i dont have my own transport – so depending on other people for lifts means i cant really dictate my working hours at the mo.

    Its a totally poo situation to be in, maybe i’ll never feel like im doing enough? Like thin people never think they are thin enough?

  • The Best Twitter App for Android

    Thats right folks, amongst the barrage of cool twitter apps that are available FREE – a newcomer has risen from the darkness and TOTALLY stolen the limelight.

    Its called Touiteur (tweeter) and its made by the fine gents and ladies at Level Up Studios.

    Here is a little list of cool features that Touiteur (Free) comes with

    • Multiple Account Support – THANK GOD!! FINALLY!!!!
    • Cool “Dropdown” new tweet dialogue
    • Really intuitive layout
    • Colour code option so you can distinguish between tweets from different accounts (it merges all tweets from all accounts onto one screen)

    The only downside is that I would actually like NOT to have everything merged into one list – which is totally achievable if I pay $2.99 or whatever it is and buy the premium version.

    My score – 8/10 (Would be 9 if I stopped being a tight-arse and bought the full app!!!)

    This would be a 10/10 app if it refreshed when shook (Accelerometer support)

  • We need YOUR input for our UK TOP 40 Website

    Hello Friends 🙂

    As you will probably know, we have been involved in the newest UK TOP 40 Website to grace the internet. We’ve tried to make it different, contain features that others dont – and so far, so good!

    But we wanted to know what YOU would find useful on a charts website – as there is no point in carrying on and making it unless it will be of use to the general public.

    So far we have;

    • Top 40 Singles
    • Top 40 Albums
    • RSS Feed for Both

    At present you can buy the tracks from iTunes and Amazon, and the charts are updated every week after Reggie Yates has told us all what’s going off.

    What we will be implementing over the next day or so, is the following;

    • Top 40 Urban Singles & Albums
    • Top 40 Rock Singles & Albums
    • Top 40 Downloads Singles & Albums
    • FULL Track Previews
    • Embedded Video Page for EVERY song

    And we are also introducing some more text to help google with the relevancy, and a few styling tweaks such as a new logo etc.

    Stage THREE for the site, is to include Ringtone downloads, mobile phone applications and also a feature where you can type in your birthday, it shows what was number 1 when you were born and gives you some options to buy it.

    We are also looking at getting the back catalogue of Charts fro day 1, and having it so that you enter a date range and you get the uk top 40 from that date.

    So, what do you think?

    What do YOU want from a charts website?

    Please discuss below 🙂
