Uk Web directories List 2011 24th November 2011 11:09 PM
Don't mean to knoock it, but got to be honest, never been convinced with this strategy, and in the Post Panda world, do you really still think it's valid?

All the directories are identical, script generated and low value.
“You can add your site for free in these directories to improve your website's page rank”

How will they help your sites Page Rank? Doesn't a directory need a PageRank in order to pass it on? (not that any of us still worry about PR )

Google Plus for Business! 24th November 2011 2:35 PM
“BBC News - Google denies Google+ death reports

Looking slightly worrying - clearly they need to develop beyond the Ghost Town feel!! ”

Hmmmm, maybe we've all reached social saturation? (is that a term yet?) With so many platforms and tools, from a business point of view it's hard to justify much time with some of them, which is where we are with Google+ at the moment.

I reckon it's time for the the next big thing, virtual reality networking, and we all meet up in the My Local Forum bar and get virtually bladdered? I'm the tall thin bloke in the corner

hmmm, could be onto something....

“I'm surprised the banks haven't called in or reduced the overdraft facilities, surely they must know that in the current climate less people will be taking holidays abroad.”

Agree totally, this current climate has been going on now for years, admittingly the Arab spring didn't help matters, but I'm amazed the banks allowed the borrowing to extend to this level, especially after all the recent lessons and high profile collapses.

Maybe it's all secured against assets, not sure if they have their own aircraft and high ticket price items.

“True and higher unemployment. It'll be interesting to see where this technology leads us...”

Fewer lower skilled lower paid jobs, making companies more competitive, allowing them to expand, grow, and create more challenging and better paid jobs.
