The Word from Soapy Co. http://www.soapyco.com/word A blog about web design, web development and other things that interest us. http://chyrp.net/ en Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:00:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss2 Salesforce, watch out! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWordFromSoapyCo/~3/JEWNadANtLg/ There is a growing amount of interest around SalesTrak, a UK startup with a cost effective, yet powerful CRM solution that rivals SalesForce in every way.

The firm, based in Leeds (with offices overseas) have gathered enough momentum to gain a second round of funding from Aspiration Capital.

It pleases us no end to see UK startup's receiving genuine and solid interest from VC firms. The UK has always lagged behind the US on tech startup funding but it's stories like these that give us hope of a brighter future for innovative, creative and talents here in the UK.

I'm sure you will join us in wishing SalesTrak the very best for the future.

Read the story on Digg, or visit SalesTrak CRM for more info on the company and a free demo.

BuzzFeed
From Buzzfeed:

"A rash of vaguely political web sites spouting semi-nonsense phrases have sprung up. They're all variations on the same theme: (Name of candidate) (odd phrase). As in, "Hillary Clinton asked you out on Facebook", written in large, purple Helvetica. Click and a new sentence is generated."

View the full, bizarre list of "is your new bicycle sites" here.

No more waiting 15 seconds for the PDF viewer to open, just click a link and go.

iPaper supports Word Documents, PDF's(!), Excel, Text and of course images. Lets hope it becomes a success.
