This one looks like an awful lot of work for just a trophy badge and the chance of a $20 gift card now and then but it has only just emerged from private beta so we’ll put the acid filled pen away……for now. The concept is based on the perception that people who find an amazing deal somewhere will not be able to stop themselves from spreading the news. I agree to a point but it does fall down somewhere in my opinion. I am all for spreading the news of discounted food or gas as it is a charitable thing to ... 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
AsPDF is one of those types of apps that I love the most. While it appears to be little more than a place to submit and share PDF's - generally not the most exciting and fun concept - there are two different functions that AsPDF can fulfill. One the one hand it's a place to find thousands of manuals, documents and research material on anything from cancer research to any number how-to manuals. But on a sneakier and very clever level it could also be a place where you could effectively store all your home manuals and technical information and ... Read more

When most businesses start out no doubt they can handle customer enquiries in the old fashioned way. With a small customer base and a small team to go with it the old ˈsticky note pressed on to a screenˈ ploy usually does the trick. The other choice of course is to forward an email, hope for the best and then try and remember which member of the team you forwarded it to so you can follow it up. The problem with both of these methods is that they leave themselves open to human error and a poorly addressed customer enquiry simply ... Read more

Once that’s sorted it can then move on and make you so much more contactable by people who just might want to spend money. Read more
Here’s a great idea, how do you fancy having your own website completely dedicated to your life and how you’re living it? Mabame will give you just that and you needn’t worry, it won’t come up in internet searches for all the world to see. You can of course share it with the friends of your choice but even then you’ll be in charge of what they can and can’t see. Read more
While there is a huge number of social networking related apps of all shapes and sizes I have to admit that I haven't seen one quite like Yumety before.
