Favourite online gaming 8th March 2012 10:39 AM
Not a big online gamer but apart from accountancy games it would have to be Gear of Wars. Its not really the greatest as a online game but its cool to go online and do a campaign with others every so often.
So Apple have launched a third generation iPad today. Apparently it's not an iPad3 though so that's me confused
Apple (United Kingdom)

Looks just like a normal iPad, but has a better screen resolution apparently and that must have retina scan.

If that's not exciting enough for you, Microsoft have launched another bloated operating system to slow down your laptop, Windows 8...

The sales tag line did make me smile:
"It's Windows reimagined and reinvented from a solid core of Windows 7 speed and reliability. It's an all-new touch interface. It's a new Windows for new devices..."
Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Gawd help us... Stuck on Vista and still miss XP

Your stuck on Vista? Oh now sorry Yes its not the iPad 3 its The New iPad. Maybe the next version will be called The New New iPad. Sorry but who was in charge of naming for this produce because they deserve a raise

As for windows 8 read about it and the Metro interface, mixed reviews.
Is Facebook a Useful tool 7th March 2012 1:00 PM
Facebook is very useful social media tool and very much effective in social media marketing. It have visitors numbers is near to google search engine visiting numbers and lot people using it. This shows how much potential this website have and good companies have fan page on facebook.

Definitely has a lot of potential but does not ensure that it will prove useful for some companies. It is interesting to compare facebook visitor numbers to google search numbers as they are different things. In regards to google search, people are online usually looking for something whilst that may not able to be said of facebook.

Doesn't google have a tendecy to do stuff like this as in deciding to get go into a field that they are not particularly known for them after a short period of time decide that its not worked and decide to abandon it, with the possibility of launching a slightly similar product in the future and the circle continues.
Business Partner advice needed 7th March 2012 12:46 PM
Hi Clarab, feel your pain, but I'm baffled why you would release 50% equity for a partner that can only give you 3 hours per week, and seem intent on giving away further equity? It's easy to give away in the beginning, and very expensive to get back!

Do you have any agreements in place that you can fall back on, anything in the articles of association that define the directors roles?

Potential is always enormous in theory. If you can genuinely prove it and put a cohesive business plan together, then there is no reason why a bank would refuse you a small business loan, even in this climate.

But it sounds like you have given away 50% of your hard earned business to someone who doesn't have the same level of passion. Be honest, tell him its end game and threaten to fold.

If you genuinely think this is a viable business and the bank manager agrees, then is maybe buying out your partner an option? Chuck him a couple of grand to go away ?

Share the same sentiments as Steve here. Did you not have an argeement set in place to begin with? Can't comment on whether you do or not but having an agreement set out on the what each partner contribute etc could have helped in a scenario such as this.

Steve in regards to the threatening to fold that could be something which may not work out; what happens if his bluff is called?

Feel that twitter is a more useful tool for us. We find it easier to engage with people and it gets us website traffic (not a great deal) than facebook has ever done.
Though we see what they are trying to get at in the ad it definitely isn't the most exciting.

2nd your idea on maybe going for going for google adwords campaign next.
Lloyds bank perform PR stunt! 27th February 2012 4:17 PM
You never can tell, but truth is very rare these days indeed.

You don't know what exactly is going on behind the scenes but considering the recent events with RBS bonuses it is easily justifiable as to why one might she this step by Lloyds TSB as a PR stunt.
