When it comes to surfing the web, it's easy to get lost at sea. So let Moncrieff's regular guest Darragh Doyle, a man who knows a thing or two about what's weird and wonderful online, steer you in the right direction. You can listen back to his full segment below, but here's what you need to know from the Internet this week...
- An opening video: The Trump card
Irish people’s reactions to Donald Trump. “He’s a humble lad… very modest”. This man could be the next US President. No really, it’s possible.
Laundrie is Dublin’s dry cleaning and laundry app that works for you. They pick up and deliver all over the city at times to suit you. Launched by Dublin native Evan Gray, it’s now available on the app store.
Cardtrix is a new shopping loyalty app, Replacing the need to carry plastic loyalty cards in your wallet.
- Workout from ReachOut.com
WorkOut is a mental fitness phone app. It helps you work on problem-solving, goal setting, making time for things you enjoy, identifying your strengths and lots more.
Writing.ie is the world's only national writing resources website providing a global platform for the brilliance of Irish writing, but also huge support for new and emerging writers with genuine, real and useful advice from Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin and her contributors.
- Steep.it - the simplest internet tea timer ever
This is the simplest internet tea timer ever. Put in your time and it will count it down, but it will also tell you how long tea should be steeped for and what temperature it should be.
- And finally...
The recorder is allegedly capable of 64 notes. It sounds way less. Now, a new thing online is to find and enjoy crappy song covers as played on the recorder. Look up Matt Mulholland on YouTube for major epicness...
