When Google's new social network Google+ launched a few weeks ago people were excited, others were apprehensive, but I'm sure most of us thought, ANOTHER social network? Really? Google+ is Google's latest social networking platform, you may remember the online giant introducing services like Wave and Buzz in the past, but Google+ is pretty different and from what I can see has already had far muc...

Organising your workspace may seem like a top procrastination tactic, but a clear desk could change the way you work for the better.It may sound a little cheesy, but in most cases the more organised your workspace is, the less distracted you’ll be and the more you’ll get done in the long run.

It began with a few Polaroid-style shots in the Twitter feeds of my more hipster-minded friends. Then it spread to Facebook. Pictures of nights out were transformed into black and white Studio 54 tinged masterpieces. Artful lens flares and washed out filters were added to holiday photos, making the seven days in Magaluf look more like seven days off the Florida Keys in 1952

The words “presentation” and “PowerPoint” have become inextricably linked and interchangeable. One automatically follows the other. Need a presentation? Open PowerPoint and get on with it.It is understandable. PowerPoint is good at what it does.

The voice-overs for films are one of my favourite things. Anything and everything sounds dramatic, life-threatening, romantic, and incredibly important all at once. As they say in Anchorman, it's like being in a glass cage of emotion. Orange have come up with the super clever idea of having one of of UK's leading voice artists reading your summertime Tweets in a movie-style voiceover, and the result is pretty damn hilarious.

Recently there's been a lot of YouTube firsts, and today I've just spotted another. This one promises to take me to a "hot sexy party". As a 23 year old female in the city, I like hot sexy parties - my life is full of them. In fact I do very little else.

We're not exactly sure how we missed this, but have you seen the pink Nokia N8 "Freedom" advert?It is CRAZY. Featuring dismembered, tattooed Barbies and heavy inspiration from many a Lady Gaga look and music video, "Freedom" doesn't so much make me want to buy a Nokia, but rather purchase some Superglue to help put these Barbies back together. (Who let their little brother on the set!?)
