So what’s next from the flurry of ‘magic traffic driving’ sites? The latest on the bandwagon is New Yorker Itzhak Schier aka ZiQui Million and the Million …
I’m still trying to get a refund from SNCF for a ticket I bought but didn’t use in May. It was a right palava trying to transfer my broadband with BT (if you’ve ever heard the Marcus Brigstock sketch about the very same, it was just like that) and I’ve lost count of the number …
My chum Alex Schultz has been bigging up youtube-a-like Revver for a few months now. As ever he’s blocks ahead of me, but I’ve been taking a few minutes to explore it and get a feel for the site and I must say, Mr Schultz is right. Revver is rather good. See Alex’s latest comment …

Beppo Buchanan-Smith owns and runs a luxury hotel on the Isle of Eriska in Scotland. It’s a high-class place that has all the charms you would expect: the big house, a …
As the popularity of user generated content, member-to-member interaction and online community sites continues to grow as an integral part of the Web 2.0 wave, fears about liability (specifically with reference to libel) when it comes to user generated content have resurfaced.

There was a great piece in the Sun featuring my friend and eBay postal supplies selling success Kirsten Dudley. You can view the PostalSupplies shop on eBay here. Astonishingly, the Dudleys have sold 4 million jiffy bags. I’ve bought a few myself. It is amazing that she only manages the business with her husband Andrew …
