Bummer 🙁 This story tells how, in the UK, an ad for X-box has been banned.
Shame ‘cos this was one of the few ad’s lately that I’ve really liked. If anyone knows a link for it let me know.
Ever have a reeaallly long URL that email clients screw up all the time by putting line breaks in the middle of them? 
I just found this site called makeashorterlink. What it does is take a long URL and creates a page with a short address and an autoforward function to the original. You can then email this URL happy in the knowledge that it won’t get split.
Here’s an example:

changes to http://makeashorterlink.com/?J61056AE
It also has options so that you can hide the redirection page, use a new window etc. Handy and free! :star:
I just discovered today that Google publishes statistics relating to searches on a page called Zeitgeist.
This page shows not only the most popular searches but also those that are increasing and decreasing in popularity (and loads more) An interesting read once a month or so methinks.
