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

According to a travolution article Ryanair (I was going to give them a link but as they feel I’m a lunatic they’re out of luck).

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.
