This blog is about me and my dreams for a new web. A web that is relevant to today, not yesterday or tomorrow. An intellegent real time web, where, by the power of our minds collaborating with machines we can define the future and acheive the impossible. I believe in thinking bigger than ever before. I believe in devine power and that principally one can acheive anything, with faith and through the power of ones mind.

WONGA LAUNCHED

I am delighted to report that Wonga, the UK's most innovative and socially responsible short-term lending platform is now officially live!


Wonga, encompassing a fresh and innovative design, is different to other online lenders because the total commitment to transparency makes it more ethical and responsible, and also because they offer unsurpassed speed, convenience and flexibility. Their real-time risk and decisioning systems mean that application and approval takes just minutes. It’s big and it’s clever, but their customers don’t generally care - because using our service is super simple.



Wonga are making people’s lives easier in a difficult environment and that means they are building a loyal customer base at the same time.



I know that Errol, Jonty and the team would appreciate feedback if you get a chance to take a look.....

What is your Wonga moment?

e-Man move into mobile: WATCH THIS SPACE!

As a company that embraces technology in all it's forms, e-Man adapt to the market around us. Our reasons for existing as a living and breathing organism are not to serve our clients with solutions that satisfy their demands. We prefer to innovate and pioneer new ideas that utilise the most exciting technology to date.

People come to us, we do not come to them. If we like a project we'll get involved. Normally we turn people down regardless of how much or little budget they have. We are in the business of living, having fun and making a difference. E-man buy into people.

The three projects we are working on at the moment are without doubt our finest yet. I believe e-Man will continue to pioneer new ideas that will be used by everyone around us. This is the gift we have to give to people, as Net Sorcerer and other applications have done since 2001.

So, what I was leading up towards, is that E-man have finally given in to the temptations of mobile (or 'WONG' as I prefer to call it - 'Web on go') as the market for development begins to really open up.

I would prefer to look at the web and mobile not as seperate entities but as lite and heavy versions of the same thing.

The only difference being that the infomation that is manipulated through to you depending on which UI, one is communicating with, should relect whether you are running for a tube or sitting at a desk.

I have been in Spain taking a break to think carefully about what I and e-Man are going to create with the technology that we have at our disposal.

Anything you dream about can become reality. You just make it.

E-man welcome George to the London team who will head up the first of our major developments, due to hit the market in October.

I expect many enquiries in the info@e-man mailbox from start ups wishing to see their applications manipulated for mobile later in the year.

Finally to all entrepreneurs who have sent their ideas through to us this year. It has been increadible to see the passion that is out there for the web and I have to say we have recieved a mixed bag of ideas. I have however, been just a tad concerned at some of the work I have been recieving.

Without even asking me to sign a non disclosure agreement many of you have been zipping up your entire business model and e-mailing me the contents. Your zeal astounds me, but the stupidity of it beggars belief.

I have deleted everything so it cannot be traced. These ideas are yours and some of them that were sent to us included, all source code, psd's, wirework, passwords, excel spreadsheets and business plans. You have to protect your ideas as there are far too many people out there who will realise a good idea that is not theirs.

I also believe that in some cases getting seed investment is often a cop out for founders who are not 100% sure of their idea and simply want to live the good life. If it is good enough, whilst you need investment to live, you don't need the kind of money that has been injected into start ups in recent times.

Real Investment (Over 1m) should only be sought for taking a national sucess story global, where marketing money will ensure that your proven success penetrates quickly. Investment can relax the founders muscles and make them feel like they have already made it.

The truth is you have made nothing.

You can get so far without investment. In fact, with the right blend of individuals I believe you can go all of the way.

How? Have a good heart, an open mind and have willing, like hearted volunteers alongside you who believe in the concept unconditionally.


Take care and watch this space........

About Me
