It’s getting harder and harder to take photos freely in the UK without being interfered by the police. I have read on the BBC the amateur photographers have been asked to delete their photographs and refrain from taking any more.
As a keen photographer i personally do not like the idea of being branded a potential “terrorist” because i own a professional looking DSLR. From what i have read the police and community officers should be better educated in the rights of photographers before being given the authority to prevent you from enjoying your hobby!
I guess it time for a change, Today it was announced on Moblog’s news page that we are to see Version 2.0 of the brilliant mobile blogging site! Among others here are some of the features that they have chosen to tease us with:
Maps – add your posts to your own map, and be a part of the sitewide map. Search for pictures by location, maybe even find a moblogger near you!
New tabbed profile editor – streamlined access to all of your profile features using tabs, and a brand new personal profile page.
Audio blogging – moblog just by calling a number. We have dedicated numbers in Spain, Germany, France, the UK and the USA that you can call and dictate a message. That message is then translated into text and posted along with the original audio into your moblog.
Auto-syndication – automatically send your moblog updates to a number of different sites including Twitter, Google Blogs and Technorati.
Groups – ?!?!?
Site moderators and editors will be getting exclusive invites to the new platform, That includes me… Stay tuned as this is just around the corner!
I’ve been on twitter for ages! It’s just very recently i have been using it as a good resource of meeting people in the same circles. Almost everyone knows someone who knows something about what you want to know. Get me? Well i think it’s great… Twitter me if yo need my help with anything design or even if you just fancy a chat!
It’s the new way to chat, I first heard of zlango a while back and thought nothing of it. I mean what use do i have for putting my words in pictures? It’s not useful for anything, it’s more confusing than reading and it takes more time to write a sentence as there aren’t always pictures for the words. So what’s the point?
Well… It’s hell of a lot of fun! I’m a sucker for things like this it allows me to waste a huge amount of time and not feel too guilty. After all i can get my sentence sent as a e-card or just straight off as an email..
In short I’m loving Zlango more and more as i use it to produce stupid sounding strings of words. What we really need (more to the point what I’d like) is Adult Zlango, the fun would be endless rude pictures and words! Heaven!

Never have I wanted to learn about words more than I do now. Hey if my teachers were big breasted Russians when i was at school i might have paid more attention.
Around 240 Sainsbury’s stores will this week be stocking the newly-launched Ministry of Sound vodka brand.
It will also be the house vodka in the London nightclub.
The club claims it is moving away from the recent trend for “tired connotations of Eastern Europe and gimmicky flavours”.
It says consumers are not interested in the ingredients used or the vodka’s distillation and filtration techniques.
Nicola Heyes, from Ministry of Sound, said: “We wanted to take our vodka in a completely new direction from existing brands, to offer a clear point of difference and to provide synergy with the ethos of Ministry of Sound.
“The aim is to introduce Ministry of Sound vodka to both clubbers and non-clubbers and produce a series of campaigns that really connect with our whole target audience.
“We are confident in the high volume potential of the new vodka, not only because of the unique taste, but because of Ministry of Sound’s global brand appeal. It should be enjoyed neat and over ice – we’ve mixed it so you don’t have to,” she said.
“Its positioning will be simple as it looks to turn the tables on the traditional approach seen too often from new vodkas entering a competitive marketplace,” she said. “What it isn’t is a simple brand extension, but a premium product being brought to market by a worldwide brand, backed by a seven-figure marketing spend.”
With a RRP of £12.99, the 700ml bottle will carry the Ministry of Sound logo and its promotions will be centred on a house party theme, reinforcing the brand’s heritage in house music.
The on-pack House Party promotion will be supported with an integrated marketing platform, using viral and social media.
An interactive campaign dedicated website (www.ministryofsound.com/vodka) will also be launched where visitors will be able to get their hands on exclusive, downloadable Ministry of Sound tracks and upload content.
