Well, at least digitally.

It’s just a short polite notice that this website will be moving to a new server over the next few days (depending on domain transfers). With that in mind, I’d appreciate it if you saved any comments until further notice as they may be lost in the transition.

At the same time, if you encounter any problems, just persevere. Everything will be back to normal as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience.

Update: the move was a success. I’ll be checking that everything on the site is still working ok but if you encounter any problems yourself, please leave a comment.

It’s not often I find a Web 2.0 application that actually gets my full attention. In fact, the majority of them tend to be a fad. I’ll sign up, have a play for a few hours, maybe a few days or weeks if its really addictive, but most of the time, they become a pain to keep updated. One of my favourite websites at the moment is Twitter which seems to be getting a lot of press around the industry at the moment but I’ll save that post for another day. Instead, I will be focussing on a very simple concept that I am quite fond of - The Ten Word Review.

Kate pointed me in the direction of this website developed by Neil Crosby last month which I quickly signed up to and occasionally update (when I remember). It’s quite a simple concept - you write a review of exactly 10 words about anything you want. Obviously, the more popular topics will be covered but its quite funny reading and reviewing the lesser-known or less-interesting topics out there such as chick peas:

“not as tastey as male peas but just as healthy”

I’ve really not devoted enough time to this website yet but I am intending on writing at least one review every day. One motivational technique would be to subscribe to the Ten Last Reviews RSS feed, writing your own review when something comes through.

Go sign up, write a couple of reviews and you might even win an iPod Shuffle for your efforts thanks to a very generous Mr Crosby. Get writing!
