Hold your tongue people


Watch what you say online because Branson is listening. Virgin has this nifty little section on their site that constantly scans the net searching, collating and displaying every message that mentions any of the Virgin brands! scary stuff! They have aptly called it the eye, it just reminds me of the Lord of the Rings (got to do another LOTRs day,epic.)



See what you think, for me, I just think it looks rather cool. No harm in that I suppose, although having said that, I think my tone and opinion would have been different if it wasn't someone I respected. Funny that.

Pitch @ 25'000 ft

Richard Branson is now fronting a new campaign to get entrepreneurs involved in pitching their new business ideas to people whilst they fly. This sounds strange, definitely sounds 'Branson' style, the idea involves people uploading their business ideas to a section of the virgin website. The most voted vid's will then be played to business flyers, who can then get in contact with the people if they like the business plan.

Interesting... Definitely. Realistic... Not so sure.


One (of many I'm sure they'll come across) problem; Mental Capital, who can vet the system to make sure there is no ideas stealing.
