    Was there a call for applications?
    What are the criteria for choosing the “best” founder?

    WAYN.COM is the best

    Very doubtful about Putplace. Cancelled my subscription when it didn’t back up my data for 4 months and it took 10 e mails to get any response from them. Is the man the company or is the company the man? Dunno as I don’t know him, but………

  • http://www.managingstrategicrisk.com Vaughan Evans

    I tried zoombu for an obscure journey I made a few years ago – Aberystwyth to Biarritz. I was offered an amazing array of routes, all rankable by price, speed or carbon footprint. Brilliant. If only zoombu had been around then…! Go zoombu!
