anyone watching?

that airbike was a nutty idea, James obviously saw something though......

Looking at truecall website spoiled the climax for me damn this internet

I didn't see the point in it, still don't.

Not the hardest thing in the world to bypass. How long before call centre's work out just to say "My name is John".

Unfortunately the more it becomes popular in the UK the more call centre's will know what it is and the less useful it will be.

Very strange product.

John? John who? Do I know you? Do I recognise your voice?

No? Goodnight. Zap.

I think its an ok product, not worth £100 though.

So what web hosting company was that fella involved with?

I think he said the company sold a 2 years ago for £67m.

I wonder if it was 123-reg, didn't they get bought up a couple of years ago?

Makes you wonder why he needs £100k , or is that the price of an advert / product placement on the BBC nowadays?

I would have said that most of them will use "withold number" or phone from abroad without a number, so it couldn't zap those in the future.

Basically there is nothing there that you can't do at the minute, hang up.
When it asks you who you are, I doubt there is any other smartware there apart from something basic that detects sound.

So even if it is an automated call, as long as the call keeps making a noise then that is what this machine will play to you.

So where the bit on dragons den might get "my name is John", you will probably get "windows at £50 off".

You'll still need to get up an answer the thing.

The thing is easily copyable and easy to write better software for it and it will be written into phone handset software within 6 months if it was any good.

I used to work for BT and this stuff was there in 1999

That Truecall thing looks rubbish to me too. It would only need to be the size of an ADSL filter and could have SD card memory which is ridiculously cheap. The SD card could hold both the operating software and the messages, and the OS could be updated as and when required over the net. I've already had spam from Expansys today offering me one "as seen on Dragons' Den" for £79. Yeah - if he's so rich, why did he need the dough? He probably needs Jones more than the money.

The one thing this product has going for it is that it will have mass appeal to people who don't know better, and there'll be plenty of them.

He said he only made 1.5million from the deal, that would only buy you 3 chrome Maclaren Mercs.

[wickedweb]

Looks like a similar product, I wonder if they got funding?

James Caan is Fresh Egg Chairman

James Caan getting in on the SEO/Web design scene

Now if anyone starts babbling about the internet/web/seo on the show he can just stroke his beard and go 'hmmmmm I actually own a company which could produce/market xxxxx'

The new series of Dragons Den is brilliant; last night had a real mixture of entrepreneurs pitching. Did any one else see it?

I didn’t think the drummers would get funding but they did. The last pitch in the Den was the best I have ever seen and was funny to see the dragons all fighting to invest.

I liked the ecofriendly plates that the Whole Leaf Co had on the show; it looked like a really good business and being ecofriendly one the Dragons would invest in. I just found there website online

Biodegradable packaging

Really? You 'just' found it and linked to it with your first post as well. I thought the product was crap

Is this 'wickedweb' linkbuilding at work?
