No longer in Beta

With their usual lack of fuss Google have taken the Beta signs off their Froogle e-commerce service. I imagine that in a few years we'll wonder how we lived without it. I'll try a few tests later, the beta was interesting rather than useful. Be keen to see how much that has changed.

DIY Micropayments

Its not a big VCfunded thingumy, its just a little homemade service I think, but Bitpass is a functioning micropayments service. Worth a look.

First job offer

Apparently some vestiges of my professional reputation are still thrashing about and doing good things on my behalf. I just got approached with a view to 'sounding me out' about a potential position. Sadly it was in London which is something of a no no. I hadn't even applied. Sounded interesting though, so if you can write, know a lot about the internet business in the uk and have a broad understanding of what makes the wired world go round get in touch and I'll tell you the details.

Reminds me, I should probably drop in here again, just to let the industry know I'm not dead.

My big problem now is how to explain to the headhunter who told me yesterday that I wasn't a credible candidate for a senior new media position that I do actually have a reputation - not a big one, but not nothing either. I mean, I can't write it on my CV, lots of people think I'm really quite good at what I do...
