Loudmouthman is Moving .

Posted on 05. Jul, 2010 by nikbutler in Technology, blog

To accommodate my preference for flavors.loudmouthman.com I have decided to move the address of this blog and website. it will move from www.loudmouthman.com to http://loudmouthman.com the and flavors.loudmouthman.com will take over the role of my front page.

Why am I doing this ?

With sites like  Flavors.me , Squarespace and Posterous the need to actually own a front page for your web presence is reduced. Using so many social sites whose presence moves and grows with you means that a single site even with a layer of plugins is no really sufficient.  I can move my Blog to a more blog orientated theme and use Flavors.me to create a front page to bring people in.

What does it mean to you ?

If you have linked directly to an article its going to break if you have www.loudmouthman.com/articlename since flavors.me isnt actually hosted on my machine. I am guessing in the future it is a service Flavors.me can add to help in migrations.

I shall talk more about flavors.me later this month.

Thanks for reading.

O2 Muppet Mobile Plans.

Posted on 12. Jun, 2010 by nikbutler in blog

O2 , Have you the Brain Worms ?

My phone usage  over 11 Days has been 433MB of Data.

In 10 days from the 1st of June I have sent 14 Twitpics the average size of which is 136Kb .

My general app usage for my iPhone is Twitter, Kindle, Mail, GoodReader, Comixology, Safari, Toodledo, Pogoplug and Evernote.

What I fail to understand is how  mobile operators  have been  surprised by the iPhone and its Internet usage.

If I was a shareholder in O2 I would be spitting nails at the lack of clear management and direction from the board. How could they  have been so short sighted as to sell a popular consumer product without investing in infrastructure to properly support it ?

I would also wonder where this ‘scarcity of bits’ ideology has come from in a company that exists purely on the transport of information electronically. O2 your approach is wrong on this and your Ideaology over the Internet is frankly as muppet worthy !

BBC News – O2 network scraps unlimited data for smartphones

O2 said that 500MB is two and a half times the average O2 customer’s current use and would allow someone to browse 5,000 standard web pages.
