Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

I highly recommend that if you can spare the time that you watch this facinating lecture by Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.

Etienne Cube

Here is a very cool video projection.

Project on Buildings

You’ve probably seen projections on the side of building before, but nothing quite like this!

Interactive Business eCards

I normally make it a rule to try and not sell any of our own services through the blog, but this new service I feel is too good to ignore.

Interactive Business eCards are a very cost effective way to refresh interest from existing customers and to display your services to new ones

Social Media in 30 seconds

I came across this link in my travels and thought it was quite interesting and simplifies social media for everyone.

say no to 0870 numbers and more

If you haven’t heard about this site yet then be prepared to save money!

A lot of businesses have numbers that cost you a fair bit to call, especially when they are a big company and you’re stuck in a que for who knows how long (“you are number 2 in the que” for the last 25 mins).

Sometimes these numbers also give you a shortcut to the person you want to talk to as well, so your saving your own time, which we all know = money as well.

So check this site below before you call any number like 0870 as you might be able to get a normal landline number and save some time and a little bit of cash…it all adds up at the end of the day.

Alternatives listed for 0800, 0808, 0844, 0845, 0870 and 0871 numbers

Broken link checker

Do you ever get someone telling you that a link is broken on your site and you panic because you start wondering how long that link hasn’t been working.

What if nobody tell you since it’s most likely new customers that will come across the issue. It could have been a really important link that linked to a special offer, so how many new customers could you have lost???

Why not spend a few minutes with this tool to check the links on your pages.

It may save you from losing customers.
