My 2 cents... Group text via SMS is a PITA. The main reason why I use WhatsApp for certain messaging tasks. Having Wifi but no phone signal - WhatsApp gets used again. WhatsApp also lets you see when a message has been received and also whe

Unfortunately today i find the response is all to often "but do I really HAVE to use the computer". Some people still don't get it!

What's "the pledge"? I can't find anything on the page explaining what that means, is it some sort of contract?

I don't think anybody actually saw anyone doing anything did they?! I can see what they were trying to say, but certainly wouldn't have written it like that.

I was thinking exactly this. Also the Brand Identity section feels a bit fragmented, and I felt "brand identity" is mentioned far too many times. Feels a bit like it was written for search engines. There is also a space missing af

I charge about £50 per hour doing freelance e-learning development, but I don't actually take much freelance work on because I'm too scared to move away from full time employment - from which I earn a lot less (roughly £30k a year

Is it a joke? IMO the name is bad and would put me off using it in professional/business situations, but everything else about the project seems serious to me.

Well, it's a single place where recruiters can go to find all the relevant information about me, I direct them there from my website etc. I also participate in a few relevant industry groups which has garnered some attention to my work

That's something I'd never thought about before. Surely the whole taxi industry is doomed.

If this sort of thing interests you then I'd recommend following the Codrops blog. They are always coming up with very innovative and interesting stuff.

I work as an e-learning systems developer for large FE college in the UK, it is very stable and rewarding job that allows me to innovate. It is a public sector job and as such the wages aren't as good as working in the private sector

I tried using Inkscape after the news broke about Adobe not continuing with Fireworks but couldn't get used to it. Maybe I need to try it again, or get a Mac (I currently use Windows) as there seem to be more options for iOS.

Oh how I will miss Fireworks, I always feel Photoshop for interface design and mockups is very much a square peg in a round hole :-(

I got thinking about almost exactly the same thing. But what value would such a service have over using a social login like Facebook, Twitter or Google, given that these are already well established?

From my own experience of being an internet obsessed teenager in the UK at that time I'd say the internet was definitely considered a luxury because of the cost involved. My parents had no idea I was spending hours on the internet unti
