Exit Strategy - do you have one? 25th May 2012 11:38 AM
“I still have a long way to go, but when my business will succeed I will grow it bigger and when the time is right I will hire a manager to take over my duties so I can enjoy time with my family.

Optimism and positive thought, keep that going, even through the dark times and you'll have no worries
Scam? 25th May 2012 11:33 AM
“We really need to start putting our brains to a wiser use and stop bothering about them completely. Ignorance can surely be bliss sometimes, Isn't it?”

yup, can say the same with hackers (as opposed to script kiddies )

Genuinely talented people, just harnessed in the wrong direction
“We launched My Local Services in the US a couple of years ago, it's growing nicely, but is 100% free for all listings...”

Ahh how a thread changes! MLS US is free no more

“...When will these spams ever stop bothering us? And is there nothing that could be done about it other than avoiding? ”

Unfortunately, like 99% of all scams on and offline, they either appeal to peoples greed, eg You've won something for nothing or peoples gullibility such as spoof bank emails asking for too much detail. I'd argue the who's who type scams could be classed as gullible, playing on peoples perceived online vanity.

Unfortunately, a lot of people do respond and make this profitable. Until we either stop being greedy, or wise up, then scam spam will be with us forever
Trouble is, depends on your type of business. If most of your potential customers, or the people you need to talk to are having the day off anyway, then it makes the whole question redundant.

Or I suppose you could have an admin day?
“Its only after a couple of coffee's that I'd like to start writing. Don't manage to get my brain running until i'm about 4 or 5 coffee's down. ”

lol, yep we're on the same page! Normally 2 large cups to get me moving in the morning...
Prisoners to get voting rights ! 24th May 2012 12:03 PM
Hmm, interesting one. If you are serving a sentence for breaking one of our societies rules, then is suspension of the normal rights of being a member of that society a bad thing?

Other than being flippant after a beer, I wouldn't want to see National Service, we can't afford the remains of the armed forces we currently have.

But I'd definitely go with some form of serious labour program, filling in potholes, road building programmes. Outsource cheap labour to the private sector.
“Hello,
I always use Facebook for the purpose of Social media,
So can any one tell me is there any more sites which help full like Facebook?”

Hmm is this a post count or have you honestly not heard of twitter? You do know forums are classed as Social Media

“Maybe people read the Daily Record is the reason! ”

Typical, just destroyed our funniest category! Just phoned them up, they're still there but now called CVD Fire Protection, and no longer do Nuclear Decommissioning

Anyway back to the thread, if your Page one of Google, make sure you still exist...
