ActivNet Network - Blog, Mobile, Directory & Forum Directory
This is the first of our “boutique” series of directories.
What’s a boutique directory you ask???
It’s a little more than a “niche” directory, but without the competition of a “general” directory. (It’s also a resource for the user & not just a repository of links)
The boutique series also rewards you to higher positions for:
1. better constructed websites (=standards)
2. more effort taken with the appearance of the website
3. ease of navigation
and there’s more!!! (no it’s not steak knives!)
If we really like the job you have done with your website, and it fits in with themes of our other directories, we will distribute your link to one or more of our other boutique directories (split between 2 IP’s).
eBuddy keeps you in touch
I dont often get to have a rave about cool products that become available (usually because time escapes me!), however, every now & again I will trip over one that requires me to stop everything, hot wheel it over here to rave about!
Have you ever been troubleshooting with a client online through one of the chat programs, but had to go somewhere before you have finished? Or been involved in an interesting conversation with someone & had to go catch a bus, or dash off somewhere. Maybe you just have a nagging little brother or child that insists they need to use the computer ‘now’, and your in the middle of finding out the latest goss from your mate.
Well it seems that eBuddy has solved that problem!

Mac nails it again!
Mac just nails it when it comes to marketing. Their Mac ads are aired frequently, and have pretty much embedded themselves in our everyday vernicular.
MS can’t afford to make one slip up that Apple isn’t going to capitalize on!
So why, if everyone wants a Mac, hasn’t Apple taken over most of the IT market? $$$$ That’s why. It’s only the rich kid on the block that gets the opportunity to use the better machine. Sad thing is though, that when people get used to te inferiority produced by PC’s, they tend to design & develop for that medium also. Which means we end up with crud!
Come on Mac, lower those prices. Make yourself affordable for everyone to use 
In the meantime…. their latest commercial >>

Mac puts PC to shame!
For the past 6 or so months Mac has been coming out with some very cool TV commercials .. check them out here. I just love the ones “Out of the Box” and “Viruses”… how true!
Among my Aussie clients, friends & family, there has been a lot of buzz over how much they would like to get a Mac. Then I inform them of the price tag!
It seems to me, that Mac should be lowering its prices now & taking advantage of a great marketing campaign & the interest being paid to their product over PC’s. Everyone loves a Lamboghini… but how many can afford to buy one!
Apple need a wake up call! Here is your chance to grab a big slice of the market with all the dramas associated with upgradng to Vista! Drop those prices!
