    A Swiss political party has started a crusade to ban the use of PowerPoint, and I must say, it’s about time! PowerPoint is an obsolete, out of date program that discourages creativity and puts us to sleep.

    Where I once saw GIFs flooding my RSS feeder or Tumblr feed, I’m noticing a new breed of image sauntering its way into internet culture.

    I was reading the Brisbane Courier Mail on Friday and came across this story by Alex Dickinson about “the next big” social network, created right here in Brisbane. Kondoot – a social network based around live streaming video – was quietly launched last month by a small Brisbane team of young technical programmers and already…
