When the news of the recent attacks on Mumbai was not broken on a 24 hour news network but on Twitter, many sceptics started to sit up and take note of the power of this superficially simple social networking site. It has become such an internet institution in such a short space of time that a whole... 

Thanks largely to modern forms of communications, it is estimated that as many as one in eight of us work from home these days. Even for those who spend a proportion of their working week in an office based environment, it would seem that more and more employers have begun to accept that employees can...

I was surprised to receive a call last Friday from Claire @ Existem letting me know that Lammo had been shortlisted for the A4uawards Blog of the Year Award. I’d not made the shortlist in the previous two years, and wasn’t expecting to this year either. So it’s a case of “third...

As the economic situation appears to continue to worsen (at least according to the popular press), even online businesses haven’t escaped scott-free. Most of you cannot have failed to notice the “close of programme” messages coming through from the affiliate networks as some poor old... 

It seems that barely a month passes without some kind of networking event. As the online sector “grows up” and people stop hiding behind the laptop and start doing business in more mainstream ways, these networking event are becoming ever more popular in starting new relationships and in... 

Ah, the get rich quick scheme. In the days before the internet it was relatively easy to avoid anyone who was hawking such ideas, but sometimes it’s hard to move online for the volume of adverts claiming that you can start raking in cash. However, as you’ll no doubt be all too aware, there’s...

Whenever a recession hits or there is any decline in the economy, consumers historically tend to steer away from being frivolous with their cash and splashing out on luxury goods. Markets such as food and mainstream clothes continue to do well, for obvious reasons, but people tend to want to save their... 

After what seems like an eternity of beta testing (ok, three months) behind closed doors, I’ve finally been given the green light to launch a public beta version of our brand new Content Unit system. And what a system it is – Easy Content Units is the UK’s first multi-network, fully... 

As we enter a brand new year, thoughts turn to future plans, hopes and dreams for the year ahead. And Lammo’s no different – My resolution for 2008 was simply to keep blogging (My previous attempts at keeping a “diary” of sorts fell by the wayside after less than two weeks, so...
