Free or not?

Looks like Chris 'Free' Anderson might have got it wrong. As he wrote in the WSJ at the weekend, you can't give everything away.

(This coming shortly before he publishes a book called 'Free', about how all content should be free. It will be interesting to see if he charges for the book or not...)

Ryan Air's Latest Charge

Now, it seems, Ryan Air are charging for hand baggage.

Whatever next? Charging people for sitting down?

(Actually, hang on, isn't that called 'an aeroplane ticket?').

Facebook

From Twitter In Your Pocket to Facebook In Your Pocket in one full swoop...

Studying our latest web traffic figures, Facebook is now one of our biggest referring sites, bringing inyourpocket.com a great deal of traffic. And to think that for sometime we didn't get what Facebook was about.

Personally, it's a pain. Used professionally, we're getting to like it.

Twittering Celebrities

The Times publishes a fair random list today of the top 50 Twittering celebrities. All very well, we like Twittering ourselves, but we do have a question...

It's all very well Lance Armstrong telling us about his weekend with a houseful of kids, but if Ordinary Joe was to try and carry on the conversation at an airport, in a bar, restaurant etc., how keen would Lance be to get all close up and personal then?

Not very, we think. Armstrong may have more than 53,000 'followers,' but what if they all turn up at Alpe d'Huez in July?

Besides, how long will these celebrities keep it up? Can we expect Armstrong to be Twittering as he climbs the Alps?
