Trend Spotting - Great sitez

I would like to introduce two of my favorite sites for ideas and resources.

The first is called Springwise and has the most comprehensive details about new sites and new ideas and new take offs occurring all over the world right this minute.
It's up to date, new and exciting and is really well designed and so easy to navigate and find out useful and interesting information.

The second is it's sister site which is called TrendWatching this one is less free then the first site Springwise and contains more detailed information about whats going on where and whats likely to catch on in the future.
It provides this information so you can be sure to stay one head a step of the game.

These sites are really worth the time and even investment to have a look through, I can't say enough good things about them.
You can even be a spotter on behalf of the website and earn yourself credit and points.

Here is a great insert that shows brittney spears on cam talking ... well just talking! is she a hick?

The Secret!

There is a book taking America by storm and basically the idea is you are what you think.
Now put that alongside you are what you eat, you are what you drink and you are what you sleep and you end up with a complete picture of parts - you are what you do.

The clearest single message - which is "The Secret" - what is the secret? basically without spending the money you won't have the drive to make it work, you won't offer yourself the chance to be programmed correctly. The secret is .... You are your thoughts and your focus.

This young Lady from Aus has become delirious with excitement and is now living in her own Pyramid scheme of success. There are myriads of things like this out there but this one nailed the marketing ploy and networking perfectly.

It's a very good example of how to do, which is why I am writing about it, not because I think it's something people should buy.

All the Bidding Site Stats: ebay and ebid ...

If any one out there buys and sells on Ebay you might want to have a look at site ranking from Power Sellers Unite. It's a Online help and forum site for people that sell on the different internet bidding sites. As you cans see there are plenty to choose from - my favourite right now has to be Ebid for the UK - people report good sales from this online Auction site

Entrepreneur Events in London

I found a few web sites dedicated to New Business Based in and around London, one of which focuses on the Health sector and Health start up companies which I, being an invalid, found interesting.

The first is called FLYING START and it's for serious people who have a plan and an idea that they have almost just started to develop!
You have to be in a pretty pivotal business position for this 12 month course that will get you on your horse and well on the way to success.

You should have contacts and leads and identified markets and consumers, but just not started seriously yet! Hmmm it's a great idea with Entrepreneurs on hand to help out, but I think they'll have to be a bit more relaxed with their entry requirements to make any profit which I'm sure they will be forced to do.

The next are Events set out by London and South East based Universities for new and impressive Business minds.

A great TV Car Add and some more Trends

I think this advert is absolutely amazing, it's American made - it's simple - and best of all it's really really good.



Oh and don't forget this site - which is the sister site of Springwise and it's called TrendWatching and I love it.

AmAzing site for Entrepreneurs

I love this site - it's basically a treasure trove of information.
You'll find a lot of new start ups, mainly in web based companies. There are some really great ideas out there that have already been done.

There must be thousands way ahead of us already, time to get your thinking hats on.

Here is one Google video I discovered through this site somehow which you have to see because it is absolutely wonderfully amusingly stupidly super.

IPOD Loo (knee) Tunes

I'm always scratching my nose wondering what to do on the toilet, never got into news papers, don't have a dart board, havn't invented group discussions or group meetings whilst perched!

Then I found this! what a wonderful idea, then all you need to get is the infra red remote IPOD control and your away, warm up your bathroom mood with melody before you arive and take it slow and easy.

You'll probably have to add a playlist for the toilet, any ideas?
Turtle head melodies!
If it's brown?

PDA GPS Mobile Phone friend



it's the Mobile phone with GPS and almost even sexier and as functional as the Nokia counterpart.
It's exactly what I have been waiting for - Imagine Multimap in your hand! where are we now? well let me tell you exactly where we are plus or minus one meter! Trust me, I'm a Scientist

But where can you buy these things I here you say, well if you have £439 to spend then you can get them online.


Produced by a Belgian company it's a phone you can really show off to your friends and you would if you had one, well OK I would.

I would love one to fall into my lap just for writing about it on my website, is anybody listening? never mind it's such a good product I had to write about it anyway.

This is where you can buy them online (from a UK store).




Spanish Mortgages and Property site


I have recently been speaking with a friend of mine called Dan. A budding artist with some really wonderful work. He has been designing websites for over 5years now and one site that grabbed my attention was his property in Spain site and also mortgages in Spain.

I was just chatting with him about the poor returns he has been having on Clickbank - more or his affiliate earnings actually come from Google Adsense. Isn't that interesting.

and as that’s a free tool to use I don't think it's going to be rivaled by anything else as good - so better make use of it now.

The sites that made use of their extensive contacts database in Spain are the following they are there to help people and advise people on buying and renting in Spain as well as other financial matters.

Here is the site about Spanish mortgages

and also the site for Spanish property

A few sites he also mentioned to help you guys learn about HTML and CSS are the following:
