Its a happy day today… to be discussed on someone else’s blog is one thing… but to be discussed on TechCrunch is pretty exciting stuff! And even more special is that I am three blog posts away from my good friend Nigel’s company Zygo Communications. Not a bad day for Skimbit.
So, now I just need this post to inspire other influential bloggers, and this buzz to drive customers to the site and potential clients knocking on my door… So if anyone is reading this and owns a blog… be a mate and start the buzz!

I was lucky to be involved in Mashup Demo yesterday. Despite its catastrophic lack of internet access (the irony of running an internet application demo event where there was only one computer in the entire room capable of connecting to the internet was not lost on anyone!), it was actually a fun and rewarding event.
There were several challenges of course. The first – and I hate to admit this – is that I had a slight hangover from a Christmas party the night before. Normally I am really confident with presenting, but with my head hurting and having such trouble stringing two words together in the morning, I panicked. I went into practising frenzy mode… convinced that if I tried hard, I could force my brain into submission. It was made even more difficult by the second challenge: the evil 5 minute limit!

I have to thank ‘Anonymous’ commenter who left this very direct and very true comment on my last post:
Lot’s of I’s. I this , I that, …
Why not use the readers of this blog for a pre-launch and ask *them* for instance if the obvious flaws are acceptable or not. bottomline, ask for help to validate a go-live.
