GLOBAL – In this week’s poll, we’d like to know more about Conversations readers’ use of apps and downloads. Customising your phone and trying new things can form a serious addiction.

We’re not going to show off the homepage yet, as that has some extra treats in store for you.
GLOBAL – Welcome once more to Friday’s round-up of the interesting posts from the furthest reaches of the World Wide Web. If it’s mobile and it’s worth having a think or a chuckle over, we’re on it. If you’ve come across anything that fits the bill, or a blog we ought to add to our reading list, let us know in the comments. Read on to see what caught our eyes and ended up in our bookmarks this week.
