| New UK Service That Matches People Via Mobile Phone
In addition to the basic service YourMyCrush.com will soon be expanding to include an online store, dating tips, an advice forum and other customisable areas for users to make use of with their mobile phones. The service is presently limited to UK mobile phone networks but will shortly be providing access to other countries in Europe and the rest of the world. Overall, this is a simple idea, executed cleanly, providing a very helpful and (so far) very successful new mobile match making system. The key demographic is young teens and the "school youth" area, however the site has seen a number of 'older' people use the system successfully too. At the end of the day you are only as old as you feel. About YourMyCrush.com: http://YourMyCrush.com is a mobile content provider and unique mobile service provider for the United Kingdom.
Facebook adds new twist to the sometimes rocky road of romance
Breaking up has always been hard to do, but lately, the suddenly single are discovering a whole new heap of heartaches with Facebook. The popular social networking website allows users to indicate their relationship status with labels like "married," "single," "engaged" and the mysterious "it's complicated." But changes to the status are often broadcast on a "News Feed" to a user's Facebook "friends" - everyone from close pals to college drinking buddies to co-workers. Since you don't actually talk to many of your so-called friends on the site, it adds a totally new dimension to dating, says Dave, a Winnipegger who didn't want his real name published. Dave recalls having a misunderstanding with his girlfriend late one evening, and by the next morning she had changed her relationship status on Facebook, which automatically updated Dave's page.
Hereford Road needs a new direction
Life was simpler then, or so it's said, and so was the food. You didn't have to be rich to eat well, and the pollution of the food chain by the innovations that brought us joys such as BSE had not yet started. Maybe it's this memory that is driving the fightback against bad food, and the entire food industry has to respond, including restaurateurs. More and more chefs are embracing seasonal foodstuffs and changing their dishes according to what's for sale at the market, and not what can be rummaged from the freezer or bought from the factory. So it was with nostalgic excitement that I set off for Hereford Road - which claims to be bringing simple British cuisine back to the menu - and hoping that its cooking was more imaginative than its name. I can't understand the current fashion for naming restaurants after roads.
