Good one Chris - when my daughter gets married, would you be her photographer (pro bono, of course) - and if she does get married again (God forbid the thought) she will settle up with you then! Is that OK?

I have witnessed similar "incidents" of this happening. I think it would be fair to say that your blog topic is a red hot subject at the moment!

Rob Willox commented on Toby Smith's blog post '"Twitter" & "Tweeting" - does it offer anything to the Business Community?'

Just an example of how Twitter can drive traffic to site. Posted a blog item about an hour ago entitled Does Bing Sing! then about 15 mins ago went to Twitter and added a tweet about the launch with a link to the blog post. Within 1 minute there...

Good summary Rob. My "news" Twitter account is purely local, Falkirk District orientated news and I am constantly surprised at the growing local followers. On this account I do not promote anything apart from our area and local press-releases whic...

Toby Smith commented on Rachel Roden's blog post 'How do you all cope with your paperwork mountain?'

Hello Rachel, a) Trying to achieve optimum time-management, I schedule an hour every morning and try to automate what I can. b) As the business grows, "No man is an island" - so yes. c) The more mundane/least absorbing/repetitive admin'. We will...

Hello Diana, being involved within the "industry", so to speak, I follow these subjects with great interest and this is the latest upturn - read the following and hot off the press! "Larry Page and Eric Schmidt from Google did a double header int...

I have started using Twitter because I have heard other poeple on various other forums all saying that they had joined and what fun it is. I had also heard that it is supposed to help you business as well. I have someone on my follow list who cons...

"Twitter" & "Tweeting" - does it offer anything to the Business Community?

For me, personally, the jury is out as I (despite having an account) am struggling to see what the hype is all about. We are, after all, limited to a 140 word "text" message and what can we expect from this from a promotional prospective...but can I share… Continue

Still hoping to hear from your daughter regarding some part-time English tutoring work - that's if she's still interested.
Nicki and I went along to the last meeting of FEAT but there was no sign of your ebullient self - we did meet some significant others though and I'm hoping to give a presentation about 'Learning for Businesses' during the next session.
Meanwhile, keep in touch!

Sorry I was out of the office when you called. I see you are doing City Local, how are you finding it. I know John Harkness who is working the franchise in the Edinburgh area.

Cheers
