Minutecoach Pay As You Go in the Small Business Resources Cafe, Chesapeake.

Sat, 22 May 2010 06:38:38 +0100

This month Minutecoach is featured (and recommended!) in the Small Business Resources Cafe, which is very nice. The article is about that 18-24 month period in the life of a business when start-up assistance is over and exhaustion is becoming a real possibility, struggling to cope with either a lack of business success, or paradoxically, too much.

It’s at this point that fresh perspective and insight can help, but where to get it? Read the article for a heads up.

Tools for Social Networking - where to find them

Mon, 10 May 2010 20:19:35 +0100

So you’ve people following you, and some you’re following, and some who are friends, it’s all getting a bit confusing, and you’re asking yourself where the value is in social networks, who counts and why. Well then, a few social networking tools might be welcome.

Have a little look at http://gist.com to assess the activity and potential of your connections across multiple outlets, and http://friendorfollow.com for Twitter, which will let you know who you are following that is not following you. Er, and vice versa.

In addition, for a list of tools for social media to speed your efforts in realising the value of those connections visit http://oneforty.com. It is a useful site, but I’d start researching at lunchtime, say around one o’clock, and plan to stop at oh, I don’t know, say one forty… or you’ll be there all day…
