Hitwise Review Threshers Disastrous ‘Viral’ Campaign
Heather Hopkins from Hitwise has produced an interesting analysis of the online fiasco over at Threshers this week.
For those of you who missed it, Threshers, the high street off-license (AKA wine store) sent a 40% discount voucher around to suppliers and distributors. Unfortunately they didn’t factor in the power of email, and the offer spread [...]
How Many Of These People Will Get A Playstation 3?
I can’t believe how many people are queueing for a Playstation 3 in this video. What do they do for ‘comfort’ breaks and food?
The sad thing is, most of them won’t get one….
I Should Be Able To Get My Hands On A Few Playstation 3s - Want One?
Last year when the Xbox 360 came out, thanks to my UK ECommerce contacts I was able to get my hands on about a dozen consoles. Dollarman (who was my partner in crime on PGR3 - If you’re a serious Gotham racer you’ll know him), who was one of the lucky recipients, has just [...]

I’m Ranked #2 On Google For “Playstation 3 Preorder” - How Do I Monetise?

WordPress Plugin Overload!

Gambling Addict Loses £158K Online In 50 Minutes
Does online gambling need more controls?

Sorry About The Site Problems Today
I’ve just had my knuckles rapped by my host, Siteground. Apparently the combination of my 900 ReRewrite rules, 36 plugins and my traffic is putting too much of a strain on Siteground’s shared mysql servers and I’m in breach of Siteground’s AUP so my site has been blackballed.
I could delete the plugins but I [...]
Blue Peter Suspend Badge Privileges In Response To eBay Sales
In response to recent sales of Blue Peter badges on eBay, the TV show has just suspended all badge holder privileges like free entry to attractions until they work out a way to stop the sale of badges on eBay. All seems a bit drastic to me, and I feel sorry for all the [...]
