Opinion Suite product site gets a makeover

Ben Witnall - February 4th, 2009

We’ve been doing good work on our open source e-consultation and opinion research software package, Opinion Suite, and we’ve just set live a revamped product site to show it off to people.  Featuring snazzy videos from Gez and Michaela, answers to all those burning Opinion Suite questions and lashings of lovely white space, it really is the only place to be for anyone interested in ‘a consultation system that works the way you want it to‘.

The content will be getting updated to bring it up to speed with Opinion Suite’s impressive progress so keep an eye on http://www.opinionsuite.com/ — and thanks to all involved in getting it off the ground so quickly (I’m looking at you, Andy, Damon, Nick, Rick).

In the UK, nothing beats a good snow day as a conversation starter. Everyone’s blogging snow, and the BBC website had a record number of videos submitted by viewers. Weather as content? Discuss…

Anyway, here’s a shot from my walk to work. Don’t know who the dog is or the owner, but the location is sunny central Bristol.

I’ve just noticed the bloke in the picture looks like he is having a wee. He isn’t. Promise.

This snowy shot is of the train line that runs right next to my house and is one handy change away from sunny London. Except when it’s snowing of course icon smile Snocial Media

Snoho

Chris Quigley - February 2nd, 2009

The Team Rubber London base was one of the only signs of life in Soho today. Snow had drenched London in a beautiful blanket of powder about 8 inches deep. Getting back into town last night, the taxi I took from Paddington did a 560 spin on Wigmore Street. Half of Oxford Street shut at 4pm and the Supermarkets and cafe’s have pretty empty shelves as none of their deliveries arrived. However, our trusty milkman arrived at our door on time, and the kids upstairs had built this fantastic fag smoking snowman outside our door. And everyone you see on the street has a massive childish grin on their face! (N.B. this was written by Matt not Chris Q – Matt’s a divo and lost his password for the blog so I’m his blog writing assistant extrordinaire . . .)

SNOWTOGRAPH

After a few non-starters with dodgy digital cameras and seemingly un-snappable (my made up word of the day) snow, we finally maged to capture the blizzard occurring outside Rubber Towers in Bristol.

Check out Alex on the left. Contrary to popular belief, he isn’t actually closer to the camera or jumping. He is in fact suffering from allergic rection to the snow, swelling up and floating away. Look at the pain on his beardy little face.

Katrina’s hands have also been replaced with huge Sugar Puffs.
