How to get noticed ...

Right now, I'm the only person who knows about www.friendsbychance.com.  So the next step for me is to get my site noticed. Here's what i'm going to try:
  • Email friends
  • Use Google webmaster tools
  • Send press releases to blogs like TechCrunch
  • Comment on lots of blogs and include a link to the site in my signature
  • Dump some leaflets in letter boxes in my neighbourhood
  • Try and make a funny YouTube video (though getting that noticed may be an exercise in itself)
I'll post some results each week.

Friends by Chance

My new web venture is up and running - www.friendsbychance.com. Phew ... at least I've accomplished something entrepreneurial this holidays.

Finishing touches

I'm putting the finishing touches on a project today. Just the words around what the site is, some privacy, and then it's good to go. I'd love to include some sort of blog on the homepage, just as an easy way of keep ing content fresh, but I don't think I'll bother.

I've been reading a few high profile tech blogs recently, and almost all of them have had a complaint about the lack of POP/IMA support from Facebook for mail. I've had idea floating around for this for a while, so I'll try and get a prototype happening as my next project.

Back on deck

Xmas holidays have started, RealJob deadlines were made, and so now I'm back and getting ready to push through a few projects while I have the time off. The plan is to recharge a bit first .... there may not be anything happening until after Xmas.
