What a boring Friday. We don’t exactly have a lot to spout about today, but here’s a freddiew video, which I’ll follow with some news. Phone names suck, and here’s why. Former Noisecastian Eric – who did well for himself – has a some really good points on why phone names need to be revamped: …
Good morning and welcome to the Noisecast Roundup for August 2, 2012. Remember to grab these links while they’re hot. You never know when this stuff won’t matter to you anymore!
