We’re looking at having a few drinks next week either Thursday the 12th or Friday the 13th of March in Cork City. The Thirsty Scholar has been mentioned.

It’s just a bit of a session, nothing formal & completely open.
If you’re in/near Cork City next week contact me here or comment below if you have a date preference.

Twitter Mosaic Sxoop Technologies

The Twitter Mosiac is a pretty cool new idea from @walter at Sxoop Technologies. Walter presented a quick demo of the service at last weeks Cork Open Coffee.

You can currently get an image of your 100 favourite followers on twitter and get that printed onto a mug, t-shirt, bag or business card. I’m guessing more products will be added and more tweaking will be done with the service. From something that was but an idea one week ago it’s very impressive. Well done to @walter and all the crew at Sxoop Technologies.

This survey on blogs from Sinead is painless, go on have a go. It took me less than 5 minutes.

Sabrina has a little bit of good coverage news for Irish based Qwitter.

I’m looking forward to telling this story from Grannymar. LOL

Last chance to vote for the Shorty Awards on Twitter. Go on do it for Ireland.

Vote McAWilliams for Personal here.
AND
Vote Doneganland for Green here.

A business that users need

A recent re-tweet from Pat Phelan was something like :

Have a business that users need, NOT a business that needs users.

It makes perfect sense and may have saved me a lot of money.

One of my ideas was a pared down version of pigsback.com
Users answer simple sponsored questions and get entered into draws for prizes.
There were some more complex things going on also but it’s a classic needs users business model. I had purchased the domain name and even have the twitter account! Littlequiz (.com) is firmly parked for now. I may revamp the idea look into it in the future.

I have one or two new ideas to be looking into for now. I have just recently had my UCC contract extended so I have some extra time to be thinking.

If there’s anyone out there with some ideas, feel free to contact me to discuss, but do try to remember the line “A business that users need!”
