Given that so many of us have online presences across various networks I’ve decided to add a little feature to the header of the blog, replacing my 468*60 AdSense text banner with shortcut icons (links) to my Twitter, Jaiku, Bebo, MySpace, Skype, Podcast and RSS feed. I’m leaving out one or two links for the…

Social Linking – Where Am I?
I’m not featured on pBase or hiding out as a photographer in the Caribbean but I am lurking in various social networks on the web, and this is where you’ll find me. MySpaceMySpace is mainly used through KilkennyMusic.com and my constant contact with bands. More and more I see the gigs being organised via MySpace…
Twitter Widgets / Find Me On Twitter
Having fun on the Twitter train, really nice way of social interaction online – a short, sweet, to-the-point service allowing you to broadcast a stream of thought, what you’re doing us quick notes to other Twitter users. Looking forwards to Alex King’s development to integrate Twitter with WP, while I’m using Twitterific on the mac…
“Bebo me!”
Thats the new one now for Kilkenny. You run into someone on the street that you haven’t seen in ages and its no longer “ah yeah, I’ll meet you for a pint” or “Give me a text during the week” or “I’ll give you a buzz at some stage”… no. Its now just “Bebo me!”….

Bebo Bands Launches
Pity I had to pick up on this on the KilkennyMusic.com forums first but there you go… Bebo Bands has launched and is now accepted signups for bands. It won’t be the crazy place that is MySpace but they are also allowing bands to upload their own music, provided of course that you own the…
Bebo say no to 550m takeover
$550m for Bebo? Try at least doubling that figure and you’ll see what Bebo are after having declined a potential $550m takeover from BT, according to TechCrunch this morning. Bebo has quickly become a serious challenger to MySpace’s social networking domination in the US and is certainly one of the most popular sites in Ireland….
MySpace : The Movie
First heard about this a few months back on Radio GoDaddy but only remembered to watch the damn thing today! Some of you will have seen it (or heard about it), some of you will not, but it’s MySpace : The Movie by David Lehre. A parody-esque view of what MySpace really is, covering “the…
