Doubtsourcing?!

2008 at 17:12 pm by Jonny

This is something which I stumbled across today while reading Techcrunch. As per many larger companies like the one which I work for you never seem to have enough time and staff to complete the list of work which you want to. Hence the answer very often lays elsewhere with the use of external outsourced development companies. (more…)

The Twitter Poster

2007 at 22:36 pm by Jonny

This was posted on Techncrunch the other day and has now made me very interested in Twitter again after initially thinking WTF about it. The only reason though is to get on the UK version of the Twitter Poster.

Surprisingly most people paid a reasonable amount for the album rather than being cheapskates. (more…)
