As usual I’m very happy to talk ;) Just need to find someone who’ll listen.

Skinny: Would love to. When is good?

It’s interesting to hear you both talk about Kerpoof. I’d love to watch some kids use the site and see if they get a kick out of it. To me there are two big ticks for that kind of service.

1. It’s not “sexy” so a lot of people will dismiss it or stay away from it.

2. There is actually a market for it. Parents *actually* buy software/programs/services for their kids if they know they’re getting quality. Better than just responding with “Advertising” when asked what your business model is…

I agree with your comments about everyone doing the same thing, and the lack of change. I logged on to the Tech Crunch website and proceeded to work my way through the links to all these ground breaking businesses only to give up after about the 10th – I was so surprised to see ‘another’ online photo repository with a ‘different’ way of viewing the images…like you say, the same ideas but with variations on delivery.

Nevertheless, I’m sure you weeded out the gems. How about setting up an evening and sharing your thoughts and experiences?

P.S Why do all these companies insist on trading names that look like bad txt messages? Or am I too old…birthday today actually…demograph 35-50 :-(

Congratulations on the trip. There will be lots of people back here in Wellington looking forward to hearing the stories and learning from your experience.
