My new Nokia Lumia 720 arrived today so to say farewell to my iphone 4S, I allowed it to take a pretty picture of my new windows phone… So far so good - screen quality is excellent, playing music on the phone speakers is sooooo much better than anything I’ve had previously and the camera looks good. So time to investigate the apps to see whether there is more than the “just a few” that I’ve heard everyone talking about :-). Note: angry birds comes with the phone. I’m not, repeat not, and addict - …yet!

Time to get Social…

You’ve got to start (again) somewhere so I’ve decided to use this tumblr blog as an outlet the crazy notions that come through my head.

This could be business ideas, personal rants, or just musings of an innocent nature…what this blog was supposed to be in the first place…

So to start with I went back to Twitter and looked to see if, after a year off, I had lost many (or any) of my followers - nope seems to still be around the 690 mark!. So bold creature that I am I tweeted for the first time in a year - asking if anyone was still out there in tweetsville.

A resounding 1 reply from my tweet - so I guess social actually means you’ve got to get social and be interesting!

And so the journey begins!
