It's amazing it's fantastic wherever there is rebel he'll be there

Submitted by Rick Eyre on June 15, 2012 - 11:46am

It's an unusual name but a great concept. RebelMouse launched recently and I have a cricket-specific page at rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

RebelMouse can, and has, been described as a visual mix along the lines of Storify, Pinterest and Paper.li all thrown together. Still in beta, but looks very exciting at this stage, so please check out my contribution as, and if, it develops.

That address again: rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

Rugby league in Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific on LinkedIn

Submitted by Rick Eyre on March 31, 2012 - 5:17pm

Join my LinkedIn rugby league groupIt's not quite as ground-breaking as my creation of aus.sport.rugby-league seventeen years ago, but I've set up a discussion group for LinkedIn members interested in the NRL and Pertinent League Matters in the Australasia/South Pacific basin.

I launched "Rugby League in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific", to give its descriptive title, because I believe it fills a niche that hasn't been catered for on LinkedIn to date.

Updated position statement on Facebook

Submitted by Rick Eyre on October 3, 2011 - 10:58am

In short, Facebook has become, for me, a glorified RSS reader, and little else.

This updates my previous position statement on Facebook posted in June 2010. All the insidious tinkering since then by the House of Zuckerburg makes little difference to the fact that I regard a Facebook profile as a necessary evil to maintain a reluctant frontier.

Will Goog le plus take over its mantle? Don't be evil.

From Newsvine to Delicious

Submitted by Rick Eyre on July 2, 2010 - 12:16pm

I have decided to deprecate the use of Newsvine as the clippings service on rickeyre.com from 1 July 2010. Any new clippings that I bookmark from that date will be held on delicious.

The reasons include delicious' greater flexibility, configurability, wider user base, and (important) the existence of an API. Delicious is owned these days by Yahoo!, while Newsvine is part the new-media extension of old-media behemoths NBC and the Washington Post.
