How do I clear my browser cache?

So many times we have clients ask us how to clear their browser cache. Well thanks to wikiHow, there is a handy page just about this. Although understandably they have not caught up to the latest Firefox version (who can keep up?), all the major browsers are covered.

Search Social Network Posts

One of the best social network searching tools I have found... as in - it works and is easy to use! Search to see what posts have been made about a certain topic or company etc.

Facebook Username

Thanks Facebook... before you used to have to wait until you had 25+ likes to your page... but now you can set a username for your page straight away! Just remember, you can't change it once it's set.

Why does this matter? Well, by setting a username you can have a shorter URL...

EG: www.facebook.com/MilkDigital

Adobe confirms Flash Player is dead for mobile devices... sorta...

So read the title to a new Engadget article. But this is a bit misleading...

Right now you can get Flash Player 11, which is fully optimised for hardware acceleration. Adobe is also soon to release Flash Player 12. What Engadget failed to do, was actually link to the full story by Adobe. What Adobe was basically saying is, they want to concentrate on HTML5 and Adobe Touch Apps (AIR) for use on mobile devices. Flash Player for mobile devices will still be supported with updates for security and big fixes. They will also continue to develop the desktop Flash player.

I for one welcome this focus on HTML5... hopefully it will mean we will have the tools to do next year what Flash has been doing for ten years! Now we just need IE to die too!  :-)

It should have read:"Flash to Focus on PC Browsing and Mobile Apps; Adobe to More Aggressively Contribute to HTML5" - http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html

Business use of iPhone 4S not secure... thanks to Siri

Thanks to Siri (yet another feature that Apple just bought so droves of zealots will swarm to the Apple light) apparently has major security issues and Apple has now said it's only BETA... ??

You can simply get around any locked phone with voice commands and access contacts and email!

QR Codes your thing?

If so, then use this online tool to generate... qr-code-generator.

I've heard it's popular in Japan... but personally, I don't see this taking off in Australia.
You have to install an app on your phone, scan (take a photo), wait for it to translate, then go to the link... Or... tap one button (launch browser), and type in URL.

Smarter URL's would be better - use unique subdomains to track campaigns!
