Engadget focus on Manicures not Mobiles

Posted on by

Have to love the commenters at Engadget – they’ve picked up on one of the many demo videos of the PsiXpda that I did at Le Web (more on my experiences of that in an upcoming post). A quick glance at the comments (compared to other sites) show a distinct fetish with my single painted nail. Bless them all and their wonderful let‘s not talk about the product!

As mentioned in my previous post, I think that working on and bringing a more human touch to start ups and internet companies will lead to the next success; and one of those is Akoha. Dave Delaney introduced me to this at SXSW by (a) buying me a pint of Belhaven in Austin (hey I’d been stateside for two weeks, Belhaven was like manna) and at the same time (b) handing me a playing card sized Akoha card. On the card was a mission – “Invite Someone for Drinks.” So Dave scores karma points on the Akoha website, and I
