irish freebie update

The Irish Blogger’s Wine Freebie is going out today and tomorrow. They should start arriving Friday-Monday.
Two Points:
1. People in the U.K. were also still able to partake, not just the Irish.
2. If you’re one of the of people partaking and you end up blogging about it, if you could leave a link on the wiki, I would really appreciate it, thanks.
I’m still in London and frankly, it’s wearing me out. I’m travelling too much these days. Still, tonight’s wiki party should be fun. All I have to do now is figure out my travel plans up to Our Social World in Cambridge on Friday. I’m thinking of catching an early train, or maybe I can find a lift in somebody else’s car. Either way, is anyone looking for a travelling companion? Send me an e-mail if you are, thanks.
[UPDATE:] I absolutely love Nellie Lide’s synopsis of the blogvertising model:
Let’s talk — that’s how we’ll succeed. Fun, contagious, low-cost, authentic and passionate.
Something like that, anyway.
"Hugh's Daily Cartoon" Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.









Oh. How disappointing. UK freebie was still open, I signed up, but nothing happened.
Still, it got Stormhoek on my radar, at least.
As far as I know, you’re on the list for the current send-out, Scoobious. I’ve certainly alerted Stormhoek about you again, just to make sure etc.
Hugh have you noticed the debate on old-skool ads on the bbc news website. I’d be interested to know your take on Cory Noonan’s comments.

Love these guys. Have drinks with them now and again…
