Learning to love Google+
Among the plethora of social networking tools, Google+ seems to come in for an awful lot of abuse. It’s been described as “empty”, a “desert” and a “failure” by various commentators.

Postach.io joins the App Centre
The really very excellent Postach.io has joined the Evernote App Centre. What's Postach.io, I hear you say?
