I really should post something marketing/strategy related sometime soon…

To be honest, despite the fact that two of my good friends (and someone who gives me work and may read this, so apologies now!) often spend their Twitter time posting various insightful management phrases or titbits that are supposed to rev you up and make a positive contribution on your day, I don’t subscribe [...]

TechCrunch is an industry website I subscribe to every day and sends through updates on new technology, websites and assorted other geeky stuff like that. It’s amazing the other stuff I have found on there and its really my main source of what’s happening in the world.
