[Renee Binyon]

Hi Adam


Happy Birthday! ...and sorry your St@rt Up experience wasn't much help. If

it's any consolation, no-one's asked me for my autograph either. We did,

however, have a great time and they came to see us so it wasn't much effort.

We didn't expect much site activity as a result, as the programme's viewer

profile isn't our target market. Our existing users, however, thought it was

really cool and we've been bombarded with emails from potential investors

and partners.


If anyone else is asked to feature on the programme, Adam is right, it won't

make you famous and probably won't set your site on fire. But it might

provide other benefits, and business success isn't just measured in web

traffic - there are more qualitative benefits too.


Best wishes,


Renee
