  • Google+ Business Pages

    Google have just launched Google+ Business Pages. When Google+ first launched they told businsses and brands not to use the Profile as a page. Google actually inforced this by deleting accounts who tried to use individual profiles as business pages. Now Google has launched Pages if you have been waiting you can now create a page for your business or service. I have created one. If you want to take a look I have created a sub domain to make it easier to find.

    This page will have information and posts on IT and other related services. Where as my Google+ Profile has more eclectic posts on all sorts of topics. If you have not visited my Google+ Profile I again have created a sub domaim to make it easier to find.

  • IOS5 has arrived

    Early this morning I started to update my Iphone with the newest version of the operating system (IOS5) The risk of be one of the first is that everybody else is thinking the same thing and you end up spending hours downloading and installing because the sheer numbers crash the Apple servers, and that is what happened.

    Several aborted attempts later and about 3 hours and I finally ha the shiny new upgrade. I hindsight I should have waited until later in the day but hey I am an early adopter what can I say. Anyway after having an early play I really like the new version especially the new message centre which was really modelled on the Android style.

    If you have an Iphone I would highly recommend upgrading to IOS5.
