Shameless plug for my employers: They may not have announced it on their web site yet, but 3, the mobile phone company, are now providing LIVE streaming content on all their handsets from Setanta Sports – including live GAA action, UK Racing, Golf and, in August, LIVE Premiership matches! We were watching hurling live on two mobile phones yesterday (a Sony Ericsson K800i and a *cough* Motorola V3xx) and it was (almost) crystal clear! All of this and it’s only 50c a day to watch… Good work, mobile network fellahs!
Car stereos have indeed come a long way! Good work, archive trawling fellahs!
Acquisitions, acquisitions… First Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo!, now Rupert Murdoch wants a chunk of the search engine giant and he’s prepared to give up MySpace and possibly IGN for it! Oh and Yahoo! is buying Rivals.com, the big-ass subscription-based sports site. Good work, company buying fellahs!
Google has launched localised versions of YouTube for Europe, but as Damien reports, it’s not as Irish as it could be – they even got the flag wrong! Poor work, video streaming fellahs!
Just saw the Banana Phone ring tone ad on telly last night (yes, during Big Brother…), and thought I’d remind people that, rather than texting a premium rate number to get the tone (if you REALLY want to), you can download it for free here on my blog. Good work… eh… me!
Radio DJ, Rick O’Shea wants everyone to vote for his friend John Williams in the upcoming Photoblog Awards. You can register to vote here and vote for John here. I’m surprised Donncha O’Caoimh’s photo blog In Photos.org hasn’t been nominated, to be honest… Good work, photo taking fellahs!
Finally… The dramatic chipmunk – best 5 second video clip on the Internet ever? You decide! Good work, … you!
