Thanks for everyone reading my news post about Mobster social worm. It got over 1300 hits. Really appreciated.
Here is some interesting links I collected over this month.
If you like fitness and want to try to do it in army type – check out this website. They have sessions all over Dublin.
Dublin City Enterprise board opened another networking program – Creative D. Interesting, but is it really different Link! and Trading Post?
National Digital Research centre is calling for business proposals. Up to 100% funding available.
I finally signed up for eFax. It’s free fax first month and costs around 10 EUR / month later. I also checked prices for fax machines, but they cost from 70 EUR and they don’t send you e-mail copy.
Check out this really great post of how to deal with late payments from customers.
Two awards is now open – Ulster Bank Business Achievers Award , Digital Media Awards (entry costs 130 EUR) and Golden Spiders 2009 (entry costs 150 EUR).
If you are ever interested about legal things you should be doing in your company, read Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement website. They can answer to all questions – such as how often should you be holding board meetings and what documents should be publicly accessible in your registered address.

Two days ago I received DM on twitter from one of my followers to join their Mafia family. I have seen this application over facebook and it seemed interesting. When second person DM me over twitter that I should join their “mafia family” I actually went and joined. Game itself is very lame. You click to do job, click to get respect points, but there is nothing interactive really. After 10 min playing, I returned back to work.
I was very, very surprised that I started to get DM and replies from my followers that everything I did on game was posted on my twitter feed. I was spamming all my followers with posts like :
“@gita_m has just done a job in Drug Deal in about 20 hours ago from Mobster World”
And this feed was really, really long… So then I decided not to play this game any more.
Today I received DM from few people saying that this Mobster World is direct messaging all my contacts and asking them to join my Mafia family. I went into MobsterWorld again and there wasn’t anything telling me how can I stop it. Even “Contact Us” lead to the gmail e-mail that got no response.
Finally with help from my twitter fellows (special thanks to @ @) I found that in Settings > Connections tab you can “Revoke” application access to my account. Thanks god its gone for good! Now I should do the same on facebook as I did accepted some gifts from friend of mine there and it might be spamming my friends
So the bottom line:
Please ignore all DM I sent to you and don’t play this game! You gonna loose all your followers.
If you see anyone else “playing” this game then tell them its not worth it.
