If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been doing recently

Here’s the answer: Bizcrowd. It’s the NatWest/RBS powered B2B community aimed at small businesses across the UK and beyond. I took over running the service in May and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. As you might have noticed it’s not left me much time to rant about the state of the mobile industry recently.

I thought some readers might like to get a peek at the service — it’s free to use and it’s for anyone, not just NatWest/RBS customers. If you own a small business it could be really, really useful, especially for finding leads, new customers and suppliers. I’m particularly pleased with the Marketplace that we launched earlier this month. It features a ton of stimulating offers from a wide variety of small businesses. I bet there’s at least one in the list that’ll get your interest!

Did you catch the Bizcrowd television advertisement? Have a quick watch of the 30-second piece and it’ll give you a briefing on what we’re doing. Here’s the YouTube embed:

Standby for more mobile ranting soon.
