As
I write this, I have about ten internet windows
open, within each of which there are another 20
tabs, a side order of MSN Messenger, a dash of
Outlook, a good smattering of Word documents,
and more unfiled images than I know what to do
with.
Like so much in my life, my computer is a mess.
My personal nemesis, the spinning beach ball of
Mac Death, tells me so.

Pretaportobello
culled the need to deal with the wretched disorganization
of the market rather efficiently, letting me browse
London stalls from the calm of my sofa. FabSearch
similarly streamlined my holidays by packing travel
recommendations from all the experts under one online
roof. And MyDeco
sorted out the ball of chaos that I call my home with
surprising ease.
But what about my need for gossip and fashion trends?
Well, with over 500 lifestyle sites integrated into
one, including bites from top blogs, online shopping
from the likes of Net-A-Porter, and trendcasting from
industry experts, the folks at the new Glam.com
have got that covered too. And to maintain my standing
as a serious journalist, I can now get headlines, updates
and business info from news aggregators Do
It Straight Up.
