Here’s an interesting one if lending money on a commercial basis is your thing. Having said that, it would seem nobody is lending money on a commercial basis if you believe the doom and gloom spread across most of the pink pages these days. That aside, this one looks like a good aide to getting both the processes and paperwork right for the smooth initiation, on-going operation and ultimate repayment of a commercial loan. Anyone who has worked in the industry, and in particular the smaller and perhaps not so blue-chip end of the market will know; documentation can often be the undoing of ... Read more
While it's one thing for a speaker to connect with their audience during a presentation it's more than essential to follow up your fine work with further contact. As it stands at the moment, the onus is on you to physically collect information on your audience there and then or to rely on them getting in touch with you later. Not the most ideal situation. PresentNow is a presentation application that let's the speaker make new connections with their avid audience by collecting their contact information using smart phones. People who attend your presentations and request more information are ... Read more
ˈIt’s not what you but who you knowˈ is a phrase that often pops up in connection with people who manage to land a job that to the innocent bystander seems way beyond them. Well this site positively encourages you to use your friends and any influence they may have to get you a job where they work but if you don’t have a Facebook account you can’t, at least for the moment, play along. It might be simplifying it a little I suppose. After all if you wanted a job and needed to ask your friends to put in a good ... Read more
I've had this great idea that I've been mulling over for the last few years to design and make sets of those cool retro flying ducks to hang on the kitchen wall like your grandparents used to have when you were a kid. But where do you sell them? On eBay? Create a Facebook page? Design a website for your product? All those things are good but really, the place you would be most likely to find flying ducks for sale would probably be the weekend market. Kraftwurx is kinda like an online market place where you can create and ... Read more
I love this, interviews might be a fundamental part of the hiring process but you can’t really gauge if the applicant could do the job once they’re on the payroll from a polite conversation over coffee and a Krispy Kreme. You’re also never quite sure how much of the resume has been dressed up. I once worked for a business where a guy applied for the position of Head of Operations. His resume stated quite clearly that he spoke fluent Dutch which might have been why our Dutch boss was keen to interview him. One simple question in the language soon ... Read more

I like these kind of electronic brainstorming business tools because they fulfil a double purpose. On the one hand, you have the ability to collaborate with various fellow workers who may be situated in the next office or in Timbuktu. However, by allowing groups to brainstorm anonymously from their computers rather than in person another interesting scenario crops up. The online chat room allows all your collective brainstorming to take place safely and securely in the room with no names attached to proposals or comments. This is a technique used by some of many Fortune 500 companies to promote brainstorming ... Read more

Now here is one of those classic cases where an app delivers far more than you think it will when you first have a look at it. Static HTML + iFrame is a totally free marketing and promotions business application for Facebook that allows even the most Ludditesque of users to create content to soup up their Facebook promotions and advertising campaign. Static HTML (any chance of finding a more user- friendly name to call it, by the way?) provides the user with very useful Facebook marketing tools which allow both technical and non-technical users to create content for ...
