Dotcom newbies

There are a lot of dotcoms in this list that I’ve had my eye on for a while. (Extate, Zopa, Zubka.) Maybe I should do the VC thing? I like the look of Openads, just need to work out how to get them working on our revised work site, when it goes live.

Great gravity game

Chris (a school friend who is working with us) sends a splendid Friday time waster. Except it is only Thursday!
