  Bye, bye Twitter…? What’s the alternative? Grumble, Social | (2)

  I do love Twitter, have always forgiven it in the past for being buggy and unreliable, but it seems now it's reached a point where I say WTF?!? Why should I waste my time with this? No seriously. I can't use it reliably anymore. I want to communicate with people. I want to use it to update *stuff*, from IM, phone or web. I want to know that it will do what I expect it to. I could before, but not anymore. It's so full of bugs, that it has lost (almost) all value to me. All my ...

  The problem with Ebay Grumble | (2)

  I use to use Ebay...alot.  Almost everything I bought my eldest son (almost 4yrs now) was from Ebay.  So much so, we use to call our boys Ebay babies. I've also marvelled at the fact that I've sold items for much more than they were actually worth.  I wondered what fools were bidding too much on what I was selling! I haven't used it much in the past couple years, it now seems overcrowded. The problem as a buyer Well yes you can find hard to find second hand goods.  Or second hand goods that have never been opened.  However, people bid too much ...
