Five for Friday is a regular feature here on MatthewHooper.com. Five for Friday features five pieces of content that I have come across on the web throughout the week. It is most likely posts from other blogs that I have found insightful or meaningful. It may also be a quick video or a piece of audio, such as a podcast, that has intrigued me.

1. They’ll even go back in time to steal your money…

This article is useful for people looking at being location independent. It just goes to show you that the old adage about death and taxes is true.


2. Debate: Does the world need nuclear energy? (video)

A very interesting debate about whether or not we should be looking at nuclear energy in order to move away from fossil fuels.

3. Foursquare vs. Gowalla vs. MyTown: Which Is Better for Business?

I wrote before about how destination (e.g. restaurants) businesses can use social media to promote their businesses. I did briefly mention location based services but the article above goes very in depth into this subject.

4. Where You Start Isn’t Where You End

I wanted to try and keep Five for Friday limited to posts that were released this week or close to it. However, this post is something that I came across a month or two ago and it was very apropos to my week so I thought I would share it.

5. How To Transfer Files With Your iPad | FTP. Wireless. Bluetooth.

This is a quick round up of FTP tools for your iPad. If you are someone that is shooting for mobility then having a chance to manipulate files on an FTP via the iPad is almost a necessity.
