Yep, that’s Soks on the BBC*.
Modest guy that he is, the first I knew of his little interview on the telly is when the story made it to the front page of Digg.
The BBC were following up this story about the decline of Facebook (which turned out to be a bit of non starter) […]

It sounds like you Trusted Placers have been painting the town red, eating, drinking and dancing your way through the weekend and coming back to tell us all about your exploits. Not content with a simple night down the boozer you’ve been having interesting experiences all over town and yes, we’re getting ever so […]

This began with what looked like simply a case of the United Arab Emirates getting a little asine over our ‘ass’.
One of our users recently attempted to read the review on TrustedPlaces of a Korean restaurant called Assa, but found the page blocked by his ISP, Etisalat. Figuring this was simply the word ‘ass’ being […]

The first working day of a new year comes around far too early, but we have to admit that firing up the Trusted Places blogs for another year of news, competitions, videos and fun is hardly a chore.
Plus 2008 (or zoob as the cool kids are calling it) is a leap year. That means we […]

We just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, a wonderful 2008 and to also thank you all for a fantastic 2007. It’s been a great ride since opening up our beta in February. We’ve had some great parties to celebrate, shot some fun videos after your suggestions and of course loved reading all […]

This is always nice. We love blowing our own trumpet, but we don’t mind at all when someone like The Times wants to take over for a while. They just published a list that shows:
recognition of sites that have shown innovation during 2007 and which have added to or improved their offerings to become […]
