Coupla thoughts….

• Seriously, is that all? (in retrospect, brand new shiny husband was right, don’t bring laptop to the beach!)
• Oooh I want my ads in front of these people!
• How much of this time is spent gaming or porning indulging in other vices…. at work.
• 1 in every 8 mins is spent on facebook, sounds about right
• In comparison, how much time are Brits spending in the gym? Looking out my window in Glasgow, I could hazard a guess… Um, when I say window, I may also mean mirror. Note to self.

Enough deep thoughts by Cher, here are a coupla stats from new research conducted by uswitch.com:

• On a normal working day,  hours spent online are - 2 hours for professional or work purposes and 3 hours for pleasure and leisure
• On weekends an average of 3 hours is spent online however, almost 2 in 10 18 - 24 year olds (19%) now spend more than 8 hours a day online at the weekend
• 93% of the population now shops on the internet. Over 38 million people (79%) spend up to 2 hours a week doing so

Have a good weekend! See you online people!

Hmm, I guess that title implies Nic n I are attending… Sorry, unfortunately this will be another year of NicnCher missing the Un-Conference on the Beach (and you thought the Azoogle Playboy Mansion Party pics were hot…).

Even though we can’t attend, we still wanted to give the duders and especially DK a high five grab and shake for all the hard work they’ve put in organising the ThinkTank!

The 3 day event includes plenty of networking, problem solving, strategy sessions and of course the standard fun in the sun you would expect from DK and his crew in sunny San Diego! (Did I mention that some areas of Scotland have received more than 50 days in a row of rain?)

I expect there will be just as many zany antics as last year, if you’re curious check out the ThinkTank 2008 pics, SEOs in swimwear? You know you wanna.

Good next week DK, we’ll be following along from under our umbrellas!

It seems someone has created a website to solve all my problems! Hunch is my new BFF, therapist, personal shopper, boss, priest, mortgage advisor… You get the picture.

Having probably read my post ‘Why Am I So Indecisive?‘, the team over at Hunch have created a practical decision making engine to put an end to the unscientific coin flipping and eeni meeni miny mo methods.

Based on the theory of using collective knowledge for decision making, the idea behind Hunch is that the more people that use it and contribute information by answering questions, the more accurate the engine will be. I don’t do the algorithm justice, so here’s the full story: How Hunch Work

Anyway, I’m off to find out if I should resurrect my doc martens. Let me know what you get a hunch on!

A UK entrepreneur is giving his house away on Twitter….. um, for free!? It seems that way yes, all you have to do is follow him @pixhome and hope he fills his advertising quota. Of course, if you’ve got £200 to spare, you can also take advantage of the popularity of the trending topic and get some advertising out there.

Having failed to sell his home which featured on Grand Designs in 2007 (pre mortgage market fallout), Tim Bawtree has turned to Twitter in hopes of offloading it. With inspiration from the Million Dollar Home Page, he will give the house away if he can attract enough advertising to his website Pixahome linked to his Twitter account at £200 a pop.

Including a donation to charity, Bawtree requires at least 90% of his ad space to be filled. With 3,626 followers and 6 advertisers including a holiday home for sale and a company specialising in embroidery, @pixhome still has a long way to go!

Follow the thread at #freehouse to keep up to speed, and of course follow the guy for a chance to win!

PS. There is no entry limit.
