Freshview is Cool Company

December 5, 2008→ Add Comments

I’ve been saying for just over 12 months that Freshview (the guys that bring us Campaign Monitor and Freshview) are cool. There applications are cool, their customer service is cool, their way of working is cool and they are just a great bunch of guys & girls.

Now they have an award that says that they are COOL! Last night at the Australian Cool Company awards (presented by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Australian Anthill magazine) Freshview received the award for coolest online business.

I just love it when Australian software companies are recognised as cool and especially when they are guys I know with an application that I use.

A Little Help for My Friends – Part 1

July 13, 2006→ 2 Comments

Even through juggling a business, the usual family demands, a husband who love me and wants to spend time together, training a football team, caring for a couple of dogs who think they are people, occassionally remembering that I am someone’s daughter and friend …. I have managed to find some time to genuinely connect with some outstanding people in the online world.

Many of these people have been doing great things lately but I hang my head in dismay that I haven’t been able to find the time to talk about them here. So between now and the weekend I am going to be doing some shameless promotion of these great people.

There is nothing for me in doing this apart from knowing that a few more people might become aware of the great work of some talented people. And that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling that I can enjoy.

Stay tuned!
