Business Two Zero

I’m on LinkedIn, but I’ve never got round to putting much effort in to creating my profile. A few old colleagues have connected with me recently, and I started this week thinking that I needed to smarten the thing up. Yesterday I was browsing the blog of one of our new WordFrame partners - Des […]

 
Back on the 19th I went to my first London OpenCoffee Club meeting. I blogged about it before, but here is a quick update. There were a couple of people I met but forgot to mention. I spoke to Cristiano Betta about technology, a Dutch trends blog called Frankwatching, education and teachr.tv, and he sent me the links to […]

Yesterday I went to Saul Klein’s Regent Street, London OpenCoffee Club Meetup. Saul’s idea is straightforward. Set up a regular place and time for a relaxed meeting of entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone else who is interested in startups for networking and chat over coffee.

Back on 2nd March Rob Derry posted a question on AccountingWEB’s Any Answers, trying to track down a survey he remembered seeing that asked business owners what they wanted from their accountants.  I only saw the item on the 6th, and was surprised on 2 counts: that he hadn’t been able to find any reference […]

Carnival is an interesting use of the viral networking nature of the blogging phenomenon on a particular topic.  A couple of weeks ago, Scott Allen started a carnival on Entrepreneurship, and I shall be regular visitor and reader (and not just because one of my posts made it on to the second edition!).  Anita Campbell […]
