Why Sydney?

Obviously google is still not familiar with Australia and it’s people.? If they were, they would have realised that it’s not cool to set up a
Googleplex in Sydney.? Sure, the weather is better than Melbourne, but, putting it simply - Melbourne is way groovier.? All the fun is in Melbourne, Sydney is […]

Google Street Maps finally hit Aussie shores

Will we frustrate our users in the same way that I accused the newspapers of doing? […]

Bugger users, sell more ads
