Recently I have really gotten into facebook now i have had an account or two for a couple of years now but never really had much to do with it.

However recently i have been finding new applications to play with and its just taking away my time. funnily enought the current most popular one or so it seems farmville i tried but wasnt a fan off prefering farmtown instead.

Saying that im totally addicted to restaurant city, my farm and something called status shuffle. I’m also increasing my geographical knowledge with another playfish app called geo challenge.

So I’m using facebook far more than i ever thought i would. I still don’t see me ever having a twitter account thought  i can see its place for business and celebs but for the everyday normal person? Why!

Now some of you may know that Im a big fan of spotify which is an ad supported streaming music service.

Well the people at http://www.invisiblefestival.org/ have come up with the idea of holding a music festival by giving people playlist links.

They say

What is the Invisible Festival?

The Invisible Festival is an online virtual music festival, hosted by you but soundtracked by us. It’s the world’s only 100% mud free, crowd-free, rain-free, tout-free, queue-free, free-free virtual festival.

The whole point of this is to raise money for cancer research uk through donations and i personally think its a great idea and a real intresting idea for using spotify.

The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week in the uk
All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling and the general abuse that less scrupulous telesales people subject us too.

To remove your number you can go here. (you need your mobile phone with you to do this, they text you a code)

You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends – especially those with children who have mobile phones.

Hope this helps some of you out.

UPDATE

Looks like they have taken it down for the moment. I will update as soon as I notice that its back.

UPDATE 2

The site is still down

I do wonder if it will actually get launched.
