Social Networking

Those of you who ready my blog on a regular basis, may have noticed that I have not posted so many entries recently, I guess this is due to posting on a regular basis to my Twitter account, and not always having ideas for a blog entry.

Recently I downloaded a new application for my mobile phone called “Socially” - it’s an interesting app as it enables me to connect to my Twitter and Facebook account, along with a Linked In account (if I had one). What makes this different to other social mobile phone apps, is that when someone is calling you, u get their latest post to their Twitter / Facebook account etc appear on screen the same time as the call notification. This is a great idea as it means I get to see what my friends have posted, without going through loads of entries in Facebook etc. just to find the one I want.

Having now got a program on my phone that enables me to connect to Twitter and Facebok at the same time, I’m wondering if I should start posting status updates to Facebook? Comments on this are more than welcome.

Tazo Black Awake Tea

Have not posted a blog entry in a while, but after drinking a great new tea variety for the Tassimo, decided to write about it in my blog.

Tazo an American tea brand owned by Starbucks, and they make one of their teas - Black Awake for the Tassimo machine. I have just had my first mug of this tea, having found an online store in Germany that sells some of the T-Discs that are only available in the USA.

Tazo Black Awake is not the strongest of teas I have tasted, but has a nice flavour to it. On the Tazo web site they describe the tea thus This eye-opening black tea has a full rich flavour, with hints of dark caramel, malt and black cherries. Perfect with milk. I really enjoyed drinking it, and would purchase it again.

I think it would be really great if this tea was made available through the European Tassimo website, and it would be great if they offered some more of the Tazo teas.
