While watching Joost TV shows, you can gaily throw around Emoticons on the show chat channels.Getting a little crowded out there, lots of new TV stuff happening in Australia and beyond. Some time ago, I asked (well, whinged and whined and begged) for a token to join Joost.tv beta. And a few weeks ago, Ugo…
Synchronicity is abound on the web. I was chatting with a very smart guy in New Zealand last week, and he mentioned he owns VirtualMe.co.nz. Someone tried to purchase it from him (a big law firm) and we were wondering what it was all about. I thought it might be to do with that avatar…

Maybe it’s just the thought of acres and acres (literally) of hard drives that creeps me out. Usually I am talking in reference to Google Search…
To make sure that all the things I learnt at ASTRA last Thursday don’t go in one ear and fly out the other – as is their wont – I’m heading off for an evening of schmoozing at The Shelbourne: Want to start up your own TV station? With improvements in bandwidth and a doubling…
