How are the mighty fallen…
The darling of the VOIP industry just took a major hit as a result of being pretty much screwed for two days.
Now all websites and online services have problems from time to time, but two days without Skype really caused me some grief. Along with Messenger (no voice support for Macs) I use Skype extensively to discuss everything from client work, to personal conversation and collaborative online meetings. In fact I have one client who is creating a new online business who’s communications system is based on Skype - I don’t think that will an option now.
A few hours downtime can soon be forgotten - but two days of no communications is unacceptable!
Must do better…

Announcing the launch of SEOCircuit
As the search engine optimisation and marketing industry matures, big changes mean that a lot of the old lines of communication have changed or disappeared. The trend towards private forums and blogs means that there is less direct communication and discussion of SEO and SEM - and the meetings that were so commonplace have become thin on the ground.
I was talking to 4eyes about this and he suggested we start a site to pull together all the info on all known SEO / SEM gatherings - and hence SEOCircuit was born.
Our experience is that these meetings both educate and reassure folks in the SEO / online marketing industry and can be especially beneficial to attendees that would have no one else to discuss / bounce ideas except in a public forum.
Welcome to SEOCircuit
A few of us UK SEOers are organising a meet in Manchester on September 14/15th.
Since there has been a serious lack of meets across the board this year, we would like to make this known to as many people as possible
Britannia Hotel Manchester city centre - plenty of rooms at the moment - Friday £69 for b&b single, Sat £89 for b&b single - Friday £70 for b&b double, Sat £105 for b&b double.
Like the original PubCon all attendees are responsible for paying there own way with drinks, meals etc, no sponsors, no presentations etc, etc - you know the score 
Who should attend?
Anyone wishing to share quality time with like-minded geeks to discuss search engine optimisation and marketing generally, Google Universal and all that entails, social networking, FaceBook, Stumbleupon, etc, etc…
Anyone who likes a drink in the company of those whose eyes don’t glaze over after two minutes
