Facebook users will have to change to the new site

If you are a regular facebook user, then you will already know that the facebook site gave you an option to go with the new facebook or stick with the old, basically we are all going to have to go to the new site.

Over one million of the user signed a petition against the sites controversial redesign, but that facebook have over 40 million members, so, it’s not really a huge percentage. 30 million users have already changed over, Mark Slee the facebook Product Manager said although some users will be uncomfortable with the changes over time they will appreciate the advantages that the new design and feature it has to offer.

Not only has facebook had a facelift, they have also design a very slick, intuitive site dedicated to the iPhone.

A sole email device by Peek, will it be a success?

With most mobile phones having an email function, do you think there is a need for a cheap email gadget that basically just emails? Well we should find out soon as Peek the company behind the email gadget is coming on September 14 to Target stores, although they say it will be available earlier on the web.

Peek (who were formally known as Txtbl) have posted some updates lately and also posted a photo of the gadget, which we have uploaded for you, they also have said that it is going to cost $99.95.

Ok, so we have a email gadget that sends and collects emails, it looks pretty smart in several colour’s, aqua, cherry and grey, slim form, has a full QWERTY keyboard and it worked over the T-Mobile network for $19.95 a month, and it’s said that there is no long-term contract, no mail rebate, no digital camera, no App Store, no MP3 Player, no SMS, no Web browser, no mobile TV just plain and simple email, oh although it does include Yahoo mail, Google Mail, AOL and the like.

Time will tell if Peeks email gadget will be a success, it’s hard to think with all the multi-use gadgets around that someone would want to possibly carry to devices instead of one, ok, it is slightly cheaper but adding the T-Mobile service on top it’s not that cheap, there have been a few one function successes the flip video camera has been one. But with such stiff competition for Peek we can only wish them luck.

Comcast Email and Webmail problems still an issue

We reported on May 29th about the Comcast Email service being hacked and their site showed a message “Site Is Under Construction”. This only stayed for a short time and then the service was up and running.

Today we are hearing from PR readers that there are still problems with the Comcast Email and Webmail service.

Below is a comment one PR reader sent in:

I’m in email hell with Comcast right now. For the past two weeks I never know if my sent email is getting to where it’s sent. It leaves but does not arrive.

I’ve spent hours on the phone to Comcast with no answers. Some emails arrive some do not. I can’t believe I’m the only one experiencing this.

Are there still issues with Comcast Email, do you share the same problems as above? Let us know in the comments.
