Ask Ollie - 65543
Nice, simple idea - a Q & A via text - their website is currently lacking a facebook and twitter page, yet they can afford adverts on TV, I find this strangely refreshing, but no doubt a digital coach of some sort will talk them into parting with a few 100/1000 quid to do the social networking bit - they can always ask me, I'd do it for free as a present - but people still prefer to pay for things rather than except a freebie - as I guess you are not meant to offer a REAL freebie in public like the secret millionaire does - as it looks cheap and crass... err I mean lovely...
Blahhh, I like this little service anyway! (no I don't own a mobile phone, I am waiting for bargain bucket tablets with ubuntu and payg smart phones that do wifi !)

eBay - The place to buy and sell easily.
eBay Mobile
I think virtually ANYONE could sell something on this platform - how much money/profit you make is a separate issue/debatable, but the platform is still the most straightforward route to selling on-line if all your marketing and advertising 'facepalms' or you aren't into adwords. Downside is the fees are high and the customers are often fussy.

“I Am Rich” App Shows Up For Windows Phone 7 At The Bargain Bin Price Of Just $499
“I Am Rich” App Shows Up For Windows Phone 7 At The Bargain Bin Price Of Just $499
I feel this kind of app should have a right to exist - which confuses some people that know me, but my reason is FREEDOM OF CHOICE, people pay 'crazy' prices for art and other things that are of perceived value to them. So I believe people with the cash have the right to buy what they want with the money they have earned on a pixel if they want.
This doesn't mean I agree with treating poor or disadvantage people without care or not lifting people out of poverty - or cutting like mad, the rich and the poor are the two ends of the same thing, a wealthy person can never know poverty from a poor persons point of view because they always have the cash to fall back on, likewise a poor person can't usually understand why rich people get depressed, but I'm sure there are only so many vacations you can go on, and so many products you can buy before your imagination starts feeling the limits of the fact we are all mortal...
- this is why space tourism is okay fine by me, as I can imagine that is the ultimate experience that many humans are unlikely to experience, once you have been up there, you are a changed person I'd say!
Enough for now it is xmas evening and I'm tired, see you boxing day x

Trend Hunter - cutting edge art and design magazine
Trendhunter - worth a look if you are interested in gizmos, gadget, tech, photography, art. Similar to the 'late' superfan in some ways - but with more cars / high end consumer goods, hyper luxury I guess.

Film Flow - movie guide
Filmflow.TV Currently aimed at a UK consumer, ideal if you have things like freeview but never figure out which films are on, when you fancy watching a movie, but can't be bother to flick through channels or scour tv guides.
BBC did a feature on them on click, so they will likely get a whole lot more popular.
They are wired into facebook and twitter, could probably do with a widget for bloggers to add their fav movies or current TV picks too - or maybe real time picks - i.e 'what I am planning on watching tonight' - so that when i am on my blogs I get reminders to get off the web as a movie I've wanted to see is coming.
Seeing as some of us are lumped with vision box in UK, maybe they could do a deal with BT to get movie club showing too.

Once (2007 ish) saw Gary Vaynerchuk's buddy pull down his trousers and flash his undies live on this site, when they were packing up boxes of his books ready for shipments - so you never know what kooky human behavior you might get here, be warned!
