And the adventure continues....

Well, its certainly all go here at the moment.  As well as trying to spread the word on Agrigrid, there are Logos, Business Cards, Brochure's and Web-Sites to design.  There are facebook pages to set up and Twitter accounts to be attended to. 
One of the things which has struck me most is the cyber aspect of setting up a business.  When I have mentioned the company to people lately, one of the first things they say is, "what's you facebook page called?" or "are you on Twitter".  I think that in the 21st century, cyber marketing has become more important than good old fashioned letters, brochures and certainly the positively archaic fax.  We even had a discussion in the office as to whether we even needed a fax machine, I won out and we will have one, for the time being anyway and especially for those Luddites, people of a nostalgic nature.
On top of all that, broadband connections, data packages for phones, mobile web, its more like trying to captain the USS Enterprise under a Borg attack than starting a company :-).  But anyway, these are the things we have to do these days, in the long run we hope all of this technology will make our lives and businesses easier to manage, we'll see...I'll keep you posted...post: do we still post letters?????
