1. Understand the customer – sounds simple but so many people get it wrong.
Get all your great products together with a clearly defined and communicated brand message and you’re on to a winner!
A Cornish company has just completed work on a sophisticated web based flight booking system for a major national travel company after being recommended as one of the few companies in the country able to program this level of system.
The system built for Travel Smith Limited, based in the South East, required more than 400 hours of complex programming over a period of 6 months. This was needed to ensure that a range of back end systems could work together seamlessly to assist those booking holidays on the Channel Islands.
We are proud to announce that our Managing Director, Toby Parkins has just been featured in industry magazine, ‘catalogue | e-business’.

I was interested to read a blog entry by Chris Wilson on Slate entitled ‘The Wisdom of the Chaperones – Digg, Wikipedia, and the myth of Web 2.0 democracy.’.
The entry looks at how sites like Wikipedia and Digg, which purport to be web democracies actually work more like an oligarchy, where a small segment of users are responsible for the majority of content and the sites general direction.
Where I find problems with Wilson’s view starts in his title. It is clear that there may be an argument to show that sites such as Digg and Wikipedia are in the control of a select bunch of users. However, these users have not been selected, appointed or employed but have risen through the ranks (so to speak) through active participation, knowledge and the support of other users.
Owning your own network online could never be simpler than through www.ning.com, a white label social networking site that enables individuals to create their own social networks at no cost.
Never one to miss an opportunity to test a new web application, I created a group for members of the network and referral organisation, the BNI, and joined a local business network created by friend, Alan Jones, for business people in the South West (UK).
So will sites such as Ning lead to the creation of ‘nethoods’, a trend prediction from Trend Watchers extraordinaire – Trendwatching.com, where smaller networks are likely to focus on small real life suburbs, villages or even streets as people search to merge life on and offline?
If you have your own social network why not include it in a comment on this blog? I have.

Hi my name is Aren Grimshaw and I am the Project and Account Manager of Cornish based web development company, uknetweb.
My role within the company is to research emerging technologies, liaise with clients and potential clients, and manage some of the projects coming in.

I will post as often as I can with links to great sites, information or tools for those interested in the internet, other emerging technologies or growing their business. (more…)
Local web development company, Uknetweb, is to expand with the acquisition of fellow St.Agnes based business, Galileo RM.
