PostsChecked by Council 1st December 2011 10:48 PM “....Remind yourself also to always check why people want to see you before they turn up (eg "Do you want a cut and blow dry or just a haircut please?")....” Sorry, I've now just got this vision of Lina asking the visitor from the local Council if they'd like a cut and blow dry or just a haircut!  Google Plus for Business! 23rd November 2011 8:29 PM “Yes, it's very much a ghost town. On the other hand we'll be all set up and ready to go, and once it really takes off, we shall be a couple of the original members.” BBC News - Google denies Google+ death reports Looking slightly worrying - clearly they need to develop beyond the Ghost Town feel!!  eBay opens QR code store 22nd November 2011 5:50 PM “Hmm will be very interesting. Could this be the future of the high street? No tills, less staff, lower overhead?” True and higher unemployment.  It'll be interesting to see where this technology leads us...Does anyone know of a good open university? 8th November 2011 9:06 PM I may have missed the point but have you tried the Open University itself? estate agent not passing on higher offer 6th November 2011 6:22 PM All seems slightly dubious, and I'd say they're falling foul of the Estate Agencts Act. You could also see if the Estate Agent is a member of the Ombudsman for Estate Agents. Good luck! Groupon - do you use it? 6th November 2011 3:07 PM “....But for the consumer, it looks like you get a good deal (assuming they send you the right voucher!)” True, but I find you can invariably find the same deal elsewhere if you look. So I do struggle to see where the long term viability of this model is? Hence I fail to see the high valuation on the company being sustained, following the share sale (BBC News)... ..the model is too easily copied IMHO. Wiping data on junked computers 6th November 2011 1:19 PM Admittedly good to freecycle, but I had such great visions of you taking Steve's suggestion up from the other thread. “.....Ref getting your old info off, me personally, I take them out and whack them to death with a hammer. Not scientific, but great for relieving stress  ”Previous job 6th November 2011 12:03 PM “Mr admin you've natural sense of humor, you're being satirical though. .....” Don't keep calling him Mr Admin - the power will go to his head! Are QR Codes dead in 2011? Or is it just poor implementation? 3rd November 2011 8:07 PM “...There have been some daft ideas, such as QR codes on underground station bill boards, with no mobile reception....” Perhaps the posters will still be up in 2012?  Also, I have no idea if the posters are generic or specific to the tube but if the posters are also put on billboards above the ground they're catering for that area too.... ....just saying Investors 3rd November 2011 8:03 PM Depends on much you already know and if it's new business or been going for a while? - what's there business plan? - what are they going to do with the money? - do they have a unique concept that could potentially be copied? - what's the short term to medium term strategy? - what return do you expect on your investment / what percentage stake? - is there more than one person involved in the business? - has anybody else invested? I could go on, but with so little info to go on it's hard to give you any decent advice. |
