Google Buzz

I’m one month older and Google launches Buzz. I think this is what many of us have been waiting for. Buzz is integrated directly into Gmail and can import a numerous amount of other life streams.

Buzz is new and will probably take a while to stabilise but already it feels as if it will be adopted very quickly and I presume that it will draw more people to the Gmail platform.

I am glad to see the integration with Google Profiles, this is going to make Profiles more relevant and content rich.

If you’re not on Gmail yet the now is the time to open an account. I recommend Gmail to all of my clients as a system to keep track of all of your various mail identities and manage your digital life. Once you’ve got a Gmail account check out all of the other services offered by Google, most of them are also available directly on your mobile phone which is great.

District 9

It’s been quite some time since District 9 was released, and I’ve heard some funny things about it so I thought it was about time to find our for myself.

I brought District 9 home to watch and Amelia and I didn’t know what hit us. Now, I would not say it was movie of the year material, but it was crap funny. The production team managed to find so many ways to rip off other movies and others countries when producing this film it is simply incredible.

I would recommend that you watch with subtitles, just to make sure you don’t miss anything due to the pronunciation. The main character is brilliant and did a great job and keeping the tone of the movie serious and insanely funny at the same.

We’ll be watching this again some time, if you haven’t watched it yet you are missing out.
