Hi All, I thought I’d give a quick update on April since I’ve been quieter on the blog front recently.
The main event was the Internet World Conference 2010 held in Earls Court. We went along to for two of the days to meet lots of other internet companies and listen to a range of talks on many different aspects of search marketing and other e-commerce related topics. We also got to meet one or two pretty famous guys in the SEO industry and having spent so much time reading their articles & blogs it was great to meet them in person & pick their brains (for free) about E-resistible. There were a few Ipads knocking about & we got hold of one for a quick browse, see the pic above. Stephen’s verdict was that it’s very smart but slightly too heavy for convenient web browsing as his left arm got tired!
Aside from that we’ve been concentrating growing our restaurant coverage in a few new cities. We’re very linked to the student market so saw a slow down in growth over Easter. However its been great to see them return in even larger numbers than before over the bank holiday weekend. I think the poor weather helped us here too (people order more takeaway when it rains!).
On a personal note I’ve decided to cycle from Land’s End to John o’Groats this summer with a few guys from university. The route is just short of 1000 miles and should take us 15 days, we’re doing it the proper way, without any support cars & carrying all the stuff we need. I haven’t done distance cycling before but hey Im still 21 & should be able to do anything! Training started this week, I’ll keep you posted…
Finally tomorrow is the NACUE National Varsity Pitch competition final with the £10k prize! Our pitch is pretty much finalised & ready to go. Fingers crossed for us, I’ll put an update on facebook/twitter when the results are announced.
