This was the joke banded around yesterday after the terrible decision of disallowing England’s second goal even though it was a foot over the line. There was uproar for about 20 minutes, until German scored their third and fourth goal to finish England off.
After 90 minutes, when all was said and done, it was the poor performance people we’re talking about. Not the fact that the goal line technology should be upgraded and they should allow the referee to watch replays. (more…)
Unless you’re a Martian then I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about Twitter. Surely, if you’re turned the telly on in the last few months, there would have been some mention of this social networking phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. Even David Cameron uses it, it’s that cool (or not).
There was a time not long ago when we were telling companies that they needed Facebook fanpages. They told us they were not going to go on facebook because it’s for kids!
Slowly but surely, more and more people have started to understand how Facebook can be an integral part of your marketing. The question we hear now is ‘how do I get more fans onto my fanpage’. (more…)

We’ve had some great times at the last few events in Wolverhampton, so now we thought we’d take the show on the road and see how we get on in Birmingham. As soon as I sent an email out we had 10 people book over the following days, so it’s looking like this one will be a full house like the rest.
Here’s the link to book: http://www.callowaygreen.com/seo-birmingham-event/

Let’s imagine for a second that you read an advert in the Express and Star for a car, you go to see the car and before you know it you’re pounced upon by louts who steal your money, your keys and the coat off your back before kicking you in the legs. What’s the headline going to be?
