Today I checked Google Plus
Today I checked Google Plus. It hasn’t become my go-to social network yet. Facebook has more people I know, Twitter is more fun. I have no need foor Google Plus right now. I wonder, whether this time next year, it will be one year since I last checked Google Plus.

Why you should try Soundrop on Spotify
Spotify Apps have only been available for less than a month, but I already have a favourite app: Soundrop.
