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.
