If you’re a big, globe-spanning corporate, how do you use social media? In the traditional set-up, you’ll probably have an account on all of the major networks to promote your products and services. You might even employ somebody to keep...

Before we start, here’s your style pointer for the day: go to where you keep your coats. Pick up your waterproof jacket. Put it on. Zip it up all the way. Resume reading.

Yes, dear readers, we are going on a journey to where only the...

We are probably the last generation of viewers who will ever know what it was like to have to sit down at a set time to watch our favourite TV shows. And to sit through all the ad breaks in all their shouty, garish, lowest common denominator hideousness.

How often do you lend your mates money? Quite often? Good on you if you do. It’s what friends are for.

And what did they do with the money? Buy a round of drinks? A CD maybe? Do you really care?

Possibly not. But at lendwithcare.org...

If you’re in the UK this summer, you’re going to see lots of things.

You’re going to see the pomp and ceremony as we celebrate a massive royal occasion. (We do those rather well.)

You’re going to see the eyes...

Since even before the time when Neolithic man started to scrawl on the walls of his cave, there has been a human tradition of telling stories.

If your weekend started like ours, with a cursory glance at the TV schedules just to confirm that there really was absolutely naff all on, you might’ve done what we did.

The posters have been bugging me for weeks. I’ve seen them every day at Charing Cross Tube station.

But I have stood firm.

I have resisted.

I have not let advertising...

When’s the last time you just took a moment, stopped where you were and looked up? It’s something we probably all did a lot more of when we were younger, before the everyday distractions of adulthood got in the way of simply enjoying things...

Here’s one that’s been making waves over the past few days, on Twitter especially, with music fans the world over getting a bit hot under the collar as John Peel’s music collection was published online. And we’re only talking...

To say the internet tends towards being quite large is akin to saying glaciers tend to be a bit chilly and Pamela Anderson tends to sleep on her back a lot.

It’s huge, bordering on immeasurable now, so it’s odd that when you search...

My wife always knows when I’ve been cooking. The kitchen’s upside down, the smoke detector is blaring and the dog is cowering under the stairs. Oh, and the stereo is cranked up to full volume - not just to drown out the smoke alarm though.

We're not sure who it was first suggested that time is an abstract concept, but even they would probably be a bit gobsmacked by www.standard-time.com.

It's a new twist on an old favourite: the screensaver clock.

If you're a regular user of the public transport system in London, you might've received an email in the past couple of days, pointing you towards www.getaheadofthegames.com.

It's TFL's handy new website giving advice to visitors...

Every now and again we ask you to consider a charity site in this section of Pocket Lint. You see, we like to support good causes whenever we can.

Another of those clever Chrome Experiments that surface from time to time,  playmapscube.com takes Google Maps into a whole new area – gaming.

Imagine your favourite cities arranged on the sides of a cube. Then, using your cursor, you...

The old adage about laughter being the best medicine may not be wholly and scientifically accurate, but as you struggle your way through the last day of the week, you’ll have to agree that the usual Friday feeling, fuelled by the usual raft of...

The first time that many mainstream music fans heard the memorably haunting Hoppípolla by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós was when it was used in a trailer for the BBC’s ground-breaking Planet Earth TV series.

With the various bits of your online social life changing hands like the wind, you might be thinking about backing up all our posts, pictures and random musings.

It’s a good idea too. If you’re an avid user of Facebook, Twitter,...

There are all kinds of occasions when you might need to get your hands on a car locally. Last-minute public transport disasters, out of hours emergencies, mechanical failures in your own car, and of course those “I’ve just bought a new...

When I was kid, the most inspiring speaker we ever had in our school was the local copper coming in to find out who’d painted the enormous hairy willy on the new bus shelter.

How things have changed.

There are a few subjects that will absolutely split the room, every single time. One that's very high up the list is music taste, and for obvious reasons. It’s extremely subjective and usually very close to most people's hearts.

Just because an online video has had millions upon millions of hits, it doesn’t mean it’s any good. Just look at Justin Bieber.

No, popularity does not equal quality, so it’s refreshing to see that at vimeo.com/awards/vote...

We’ve all done it. We’ve all popped down to the local for “a quick one”, only to roll back home, long after the pub has chucked out the last punters, reeking of ale and clutching a half-eaten kebab.

We’ve all flopped...
