  • The rise in video sharing

    The value of sharing video online is a fact. They’re enjoyed by billions across the world. In fact YouTube has over 2.7 billion users. It’s a lot of time spent viewing what ordinary people do.

    It means the Internet is eclectic. There are competitors. All the core social networks now have a video upload feature. The spread of visual content is incredible. It’s only set to increase.

    For example videos site Rumble has secured a $775 million investment in its infrastructure from Tether, a digital assets company. It’s a bellwether of how the Internet is being developed.

    There used to be a belief the online world would sink. It was feared most activity would be in a grey area. Yet investments like these make sure good content is still here for all to see.

  • Report: Safe walking

  • It’s a short walk to ‘The Tipperary’

    Pubs come and go in London… if you’re on a pub crawl, that is.

    A good ‘crawl’ around London is just what some need to shake off the days blues, and a pint here and a pint there is just what a doctor should order us to do.

    Alas, we tell ourselves to just get on with it, and stop at the first bar that comes to mind.

    The Tipperary in Fleet Street, London is exactly what some of us need to cast away the day’s cares and get down to some serious banter, and a drink or two.

    As you can see, it’s now a sprawling empire in miniature after a brief bout of closure, and that’s since been resolved by its grand reopening on an historic street famed for its rigorous paper journalism.

    There’s some new stuff either side of it, too, so it’s worth a good look at for a bit of light shopping with a drink or two to settle down with afterwards.

    It’s a classic, well-known pub in a big city that has plenty to offer and an equal number of those who find it a pleasure to drink it all in, so it’s well worth a look in.
