Uploading and editing pictures online, without the need for expensive and complicated desktop software, is not exactly new.

But there’s something about www.lunapic.com that appeals, mainly due to its simplicity.

We get the feeling...

You don't necessarily have to be artistic to enjoy the creative arts. The only watercolour we’re familiar with is the murky, muddy brown of the Grand Union Canal and acrylic is something we think some of our more flamboyant summer shirts are...

Oh, how we love this. It’s made us all teary-eyed and nostalgic for those heady first days of the internet when you typed a few words into a box and the screen spat back a load of information. It was like magic.

Obviously, things have...

In this glorious digital age, the captured image is no longer the preserve of the professional snapper or the geeky camera nerd. Everybody’s at it. And that means there are countless pictures out there that will never see the light of day, as...

We’re almost there, people. We’re almost there. Just a few more hours of Friday to get through and then it’s the weekend.

And if, like us Pocket-Linters, one thing that will you through the next days is the sound of music,...

The streets of London might not look the same since they replaced the old Routemasters with the unspeakably ugly (and just a little combustible) bendy buses, but that doesn't mean that jumping on a bus isn't one of the best ways to see this fine city.

Okay,...

This has got to be one of the best gifts you could ever consider giving. It really doesn’t matter who you actually buy this for, the end result is the same: somewhere in the world people get to live. It’s that simple.

The Midomo...

As the world appears to be spiraling into chaos, with revolution in the air, fuel prices heading skyward and politics becoming one big central homogenous gloop from which it’s impossible to extract any real understanding, it’s easy to see...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And as somebody who’s been on the receiving end of a more than harsh judgment by the Fit or Fully app recently, I certainly hope that’s still the case.

But the world really is full of beautiful...

“The best of the web”. It’s a bold claim, but there are countless sites out there that claim to offer just that. Maybe some of them come close too, but the “best of” anything is pure subjectivity. There aren’t too...

There’s a kind of reassuring inevitability to each new online innovation. Every time a new virtual commodity comes along, pretty soon somebody comes up with a way to trade it, share it, or otherwise distribute it to the masses.

It’s...

Sometimes, my head is just brimming with ideas. Amazing labour-saving devices and clever new mechanical gadgets that will change the world and make my fortune.

The only trouble is, I have no idea how to go about actually creating these wonderful...

There are loads of great reasons to buy your holidays online. You generally get the best prices, you can tailor your trip to your exact needs, and you don’t have to sit opposite a spotty travel agent who’s trying (and failing) to sound...

The whole original idea of the Internet was to share information across huge distances, for free. It's an idea that some of the Internet has clung on to, although, inevitably, it became a new playground for those who love to make money out of the rest...

If there's a head there has to be a tail. If there's a yin, there has to be a yang. It was always this way, so as a kind of companion piece to Down For Everyone Or Just Me, here's www.dingitsup.com.

This will tell you when a site comes back...

There is a piece of design that is familiar to millions. It is iconic, elegant and a triumph of form over function, because as an example of what it really is, it’s actually quite useless.

I’m talking about the map of the London...

As I get older, I find that getting anything organised with other people is getting harder and harder.

Despite all the trappings of modern living, trying to get a bunch of mates together for a night out is like herding cats. You think you’ve...

It would seem that old is the new new. Which is really, really annoying for somebody like me, who is of a certain age. One by one all the things I resigned to the nearest charity shop or rubbish tip a few years ago, is coming back to become the latest,...

Thinking of an exotic holiday? Come to Britain! We’ve got it all: a booming economy, famously friendly people, fabulous food, efficient public transport and, of course, our unique weather! Come and get some today!

And then there’s...

When we first heard about www.allrovi.com we thought it was just a bit, well, “samey”. It’s a database full of entertainment info, right? A bit like IMDB maybe?

Well, yes, it is. But it’s also so much more.

AllRovi...

The web is a wonderful place isn’t it? All the information you could possibly ever need - on just about any topic you can think of - and all presented in a easily accessible and digestible way. At least for the most part it is.

Tap, tap, tap, tappity, tap, tap. Click...

Click, click, click, CLICK!

Yep, there's not many things worse in the modern world than spending your precious time trying to access a website and finding...

Earlier this week we talked about min.us and how it's made sharing pictures online a lot easier, with a lot less fuss.

It would seem to be part of a trend. joindiasapora.com takes this idea of simplicity and adds a whole new level of security...

Sharing is good. Memories, jokes, news, pictures - anything that will make your fellow man's life a bit richer is well worth sharing. And the Internet has made sharing about as easy as it's imaginable to be, hasn't it?

Apparently not, as min.us...

If you’ve been watching the Channel 4 series following this brave exploit, it’ll need no introduction. If you haven’t, then firstly it’s worth catching on 4OD, and secondly here’s the deal:
