A light hearted My Five this week exploring the funnier side of the internet. Technology fails and unbridled joy. The perfect tonic for these troubled times.

Yesterday was officially groundhog day. Are we finally out of the rut and are there justifiable grounds for optimism in 2021?

What is the ultimate cure to the tumultuous start to 2021? A sea shanty. Obviously.

Is talk of 2020 being the worst year ever a bunch of royal arse? Should we be celebrating an annus mirabilis?

Oxford Circus tube station transformation, Twitter and yacht fleets set sail and the disavow tool finds a new home – what an absurd MyFive.

To lick or not to lick (one’s fingers)?, SEO sexism, big moves for the search giants and the patter of tiny gorilla feet. It is MyFive time.

Mass panic about Google rankings on Tuesday felt like a return to the days of the Google Dance. What did we learn?

Fascinating stats about online behaviour and the impact of coronavirus on global advertising, trouble for Facebook, Bing guidelines and a bear cub that raided the cookie jar.
