One of the three founders of twitter Evan Williams (@ev) says that London is the twitter capital for the second year running. He revealed this on Newsnight interviewed by Kirsty Wark. I am a little astonished, as most of the people I meet on twitter are from the US! I am often asked what is [...]

Endings create the next beginning
September 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Inspiration

Dragons’ Den – best entrepreneur yet
July 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Inspiration
What a pleasure to watch Dragon’s Den last night on BBC TV and see admiration from the dragons for one of the entrepreneurs.
