Have you ever been stuck in a city you don’t know and can’t find a taxi ANYWHERE? Or you’ve fallen over and cut your knee and could really do with a plaster and a spare pair of tights? Or maybe you’ve gone a bit too crazy in the sales and really can’t handle the mountain of bags you’ve been trying to drag onto the tube?

A few months ago I went through a phase of wanting to be a police officer. I envisaged myself tasering drug barons, rolling across tables shouting FREEZE and generally saving lives, like they do in the X-Files.
Turns out the reality is slightly less exciting. Greater Manchester Police are doing a (bloody brilliant) 24-hour experiment where they tweet every single 999 call they receive. According to these calls ...

I tweeted my initial review of The Social Network: Why not spend a couple of hours with really unpleasant people? No? Well, I did so you don't have to do so. As many of you know, I am a happy user of "The Facebook" and have written about it once or twice - or maybe

While the social web is heaving with female users, where do women in the creative arts communicate online? There are plenty of online communities for fashion bloggers, or photographers, or gadget lovers, but if you’re looking for business advice or mentoring from your fellow woman in regards to film, music, or design – where do you turn? Levi’s felt that there was a distinct gap in the online world, and have introduced the new online community for women in the creative arts called

I’m not a big fan of TV generally – not in a weird way, I just prefer films – but I’ve got myself well and truly hooked to UK X Factor this year. As this weekend saw the first two acts leave, I’ve been very excited about tuning into the live shows.
Now, unless I only follow people on Twitter who are hugely into X Factor I think this weekend has certainly proved that we now consume television – particularly large live events – whilst also being active on social media mo...

Twitter has changed a lot of things, the way we network professionally, the way we interact with celebrities, the way businesses deal with issues with their customer base, the list really could go on and on.
But what we all didn’t expect was the amount of funny, comical, satirical and down right weird Twitter streams that would start to appear – and become extremely popular.

Social networking is a funny old thing.
A couple I know and love dearly broke up recently; of course my first port of call was to ring my friend. The second? To check if they are still together on Facebook. As if that ridiculous anomaly would change things one iota. Thinking this may just be a crazy girl thing, when my partner came home later that day and made the same obse...

Rupert Murdoch's decision to put The Times behind a paywall was one of the more controversial business moves this year, and there's certainly been no shortage of people willing to denounce it as a certain failure. I've been slightly on the fence - I don't know enough about The Times, or internet publishing, to have a set opinion on how it will go, and as a reader I admit to a certain level of indifference as there wasn't much about the website I'd miss.

Apologies to the BitchBuzz readers over the pond who have been checking-in for a while now, but the highly anticipated location based feature of Facebook, Facebook Places, has only recently been introduced in the UK.
I’ve never really used location based social networks before, I checked into FourSquare a few times but kept forgetting and got a little concerned strangers could keep track of my whereabouts. But for some reason I’m willing to give Facebook places a go – mainly for the f...
