I absolutely love Lucozade and yesterday walking past my local shop I saw that they just launched a new product with added caffeine, I just wanted to say how much this is going to improve my workflow!
I bought a bottle and it tastes pretty nice, sort of like iced lemon or something.
Just bought 5 boxes of the stuff off their online store and I’m off now to buy a bottle while I wait for that to arrive.
Thank you Lucozade!
Fraser recently posted an update on his SuperJam blog. I must say that it is very interesting seeing this young entrepreneur develop and I’m sure that he’ll continue to grow in his success throughout the future. Everyone keep their eyes open! I am certainly watching and anticipating. I think I need to learn some of his tips myself.
Google and FeedBurner have just released press releases stating that Google have purchased the firm for an undisclosed sum of money.
This purchase will likely end up tying in with Google Reader and now means that Google have the ability to not only control the reception of RSS and Atom feeds, but also influence the distribution of such feeds.
This is another clever acquisition from Google and it will be interesting to see if the sum paid will be revealed.
Through our work with SuperJam, I am now pleased to announce that Fraser Doherty has made his first post on the SuperJam Blog, this will hopefully develop into a great resource, giving in depth information about how SuperJam develops as a business, so watch it grow!
We are delighted to announces that after a number of weeks’ development, we have finally launched the new SuperJam website. To feature a regular blog from 18 year old Fraser Doherty himself, the site should turn out to be a great resource for young businesses looking to start out. Please check out the site and enjoy the jam!
It has been announced that new training service TutorVista has just expanded to England, Scotland and Wales after proving a success in America.
They recently broke into the UK and are hoping that the upcoming A-Level and GCSE exams will provide them with a host of new customers.
I signed up to the service to check it out but was disappointed to find that they didn’t cover the topic of computing or have a tutor available for A2 ICT, which was a bit surprising seeing as this is a very technologically focused service!
Overall, I was disappointed, but then again, I haven’t actually managed to try out the system properly, it costs £50 a month if you want to sign up!
The Guardian is my newspaper of choice for staying up to date with business, technology and media issues. Their website has a very good level of writing content.
As described today in their blog post:
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/archives/2007/05/10/guardian_unlimited_the_new_look_explained.html
The Guardian have worked on redesigning their front page and I presume that this will role out across the rest of the site.
I regard the redesign of the main page highly, it is a very well presented, minimalist design, very British and not too over the top.
The design clearly presents all of the extensive content presented by The Guardian.
The redesign of The Guardian’s website follows the recent complete site redesign of The Times website, though I possibly prefer the design of The Times, The Guardian seems to present too many topics and pictures on the main page and it seems a bit overwhelming, at least The Times keep the featured content to a limited and controlled amount that can be easily taken in.
Just had to update the 301 forwarding in my .htaccess file. apparently websites with www. at the start are counted as different websites to the same, with out www. at the start. Crazy stuff, but I’m covering myself just in case.
In further news, it’s my football team’s (as in kick ball with foot, not american football!) cup final tomorrow. Big stadium, lots of beer! Feel free to come down if you like.
Due to an issue with the RIIA charge stupidly crazy rates to represent their music artists, innovative web 2.0 site pandora.com is now only limited to listening in America - and possibly Britain as well I think.
Non-internet radio stations do not have to pay to play songs of artists, yet the RIIA has had a law put in place that means Internet radio stations have to pay royalties well above the actual income of the companies.
This seems quite ludicrous and has been openly ridiculed by many on the internet as a failed attempt to curb piracy, with many users stating that pandora.com actually cut piracy by educating them about music artists and encouraging them to buy the music CDs rather than resort of downloading them illegally.
Working with a young entrepreneur can have its advantages.
Currently developing a new website for Super Jam company, using the new Creative Suite, we have been working with Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 to build this new website.
We will be going with a minimalistic style and trying to innovate as much as possible. The site will of course include a blog and other features, but we’ll let you know fully once we launch the site.
We always like supporting students and working with new businesses so this project seems perfect for us. If you’d like to work with our training company also, then feel free to contact us and we can discuss it further.
