Every day you go to Google they seem to have a new logo. Its getting to be a bit dull now – it was fun to see a changed logo every so often but now its just silly. I cant remember the last time I actually saw the good old fashioned Google Logo. That said [...]

Seven Things – Tagging along
So today I’ve been dragged into some link exchange system (I wish I’d thought of it). I’m to write seven things about myself and then put give some info (and link love) on other relevant people I know. This has been really hard ,so thanks to Felicitas for dragging me into this!
Ryanair doesn’t want anything to do with lunatic bloggers

Apparently Stephen McNamara from Ryanair said: “Ryanair can confirm that a Ryanair staff member did engage in a blog discussion. “It is Ryanair policy not to waste time and energy [...]
LinkedIn Spamming

Legality of Using Stock Photography on a Website
I’ve been messing about with a couple of sites for my own amusement recently. Build up something just to see if I can. I know there are far more pressing things I should be doing but I’ve been in the mood for taking it a bit easier for a couple of weeks.
When Internet Marketing goes wrong : Virgin Trains
You have to always be in control of your internet marketing – and have partners/agencies working for you who actually know what they’re doing. At xmas I thought I’d hooked myself an x-box 360 dirt cheap over on the Tesco website – the company doing their online pricing cocked it up seriously underpriced it and [...]
