Wetpaint

Just invited today to try the latest in online web creation pages at Wetpaint. It transpires that it is just a hosted wiki site, cant see that it contains a blog as well, hard to see how this moves the game along at all. As for competing with MySpace well!

The page I have started to create is here seems to offer less than the Google pagemanager software, the page I created on that software is here

Emily came across this site today detailing some of the history of the Fiendish feet yogurt pots. These were conceived and developed by her mum, Jacqueline O’Neill, in the period 1988/89 just before she left Swindon.

I’ve hung onto this promotional pot which was also developed by Jacqueline to give out to supermarket buyers a nice touch was the tasting spoon.

Unfortunately after she left St Ivel to have Emily. St Ivel decided in their wisdom to hopelessly devalue the concept and change it to Fiendish Faces.

Here is a promotional set of 4 pots (still with the foil seals). They are:-
Rattle ‘n’ Roll Chocolate flavour.
Spooky Wooky Banana flavour.
Frank ‘n’ Stein Rasberry flavour.
Fangs a lot Strawberry flavour.

Myspace statistics

Marketwatch have just released this “The social networking
phenomenon also continued its stratospheric ascent, as MySpace.com reached new
heights with 50 million visitors in May
[2006]” that is virtually the equivalent of the whole UK population visiting the site in one month!

Youtube is ramping up as well “YouTube.com nearly doubled its
traffic from April, reaching 12.6 million visitors.
” It will be interesting to see when Beet.tv starts to appear in the ratings.
