Sydney, Australia
Interests: In a bookshop I head for the Business section. If there's a choice of films, I go for the European. On TV, British crime and comedy is always first choice. Weekends will find me at the beach if possible and for a casual meal I prefer Thai. Love order and systems but tend to have an untidy desk. Like finding new software to use on my Mac.

Proof
Hugh McLeod of gapingvoid.com nails it with his latest post: when selling a physical object (e.g. your wine) in a virtual setting, it's good to have proof that other people have already bought it. Twisted Oak does this well, with pictures of happy customers and rubber chickens, "proving" that dr...

It's good, but eerily similar to www.videojug.com who've been at it for a lot longer...

Expert Spotting
