Recycle Your Mobile Phone

envirofone recycle your mobile

Since I got my first mobile phone over ten years ago I’ve probably had a new handset every 18 months or so on average.

So what do you do with the old handsets?

While some of them get replaced because they’re broken a lot of them get replaced simply because the mobile operator gives you a new one for free (or close to it) as an upgrade.

So you end up with a house or office full of perfectly good phones, but no use for them.

Envirofone isn’t the only company that offers a phone recycling service, but it’s one of the few that I know of, which is why I mention them

Envirofone not only recycle old mobile phones, but they also give you money for it. While some of the lower end phones may only fetch a couple of euros, a higher end model could give you over €100, which is more than you’d get if you left it gathering dust.

You’re also doing your bit for the environment, so it’s a win win situation!

UPDATE: Just realised I can’t spell – post title fixed!

Make Tuxedo Rental A Thing of The Past

dickybow.ie logoIf I was a bit more confident that my waist size wouldn’t change I would definitely stop renting tuxedos.

I’m not sure what the going price for renting a tux is, but I know that it can easily hit the €75 mark.

So surely it would make more sense to own a tux?

The people behind DickyBow.ie seem to think there is a market in online tuxedo sales and I’d have to agree with them

Basic maths – full tuxedo from Dickybow.ie from €150 (delivered) vs. €75 for one night

They’re even offering a printable measuring tape on the site! Nice touch.

Comment on Images Easily With Finetuna

finetuna

Being able to upload an image from your computer and add notes to it can save a lot of time and hassle.

Images are easier to understand than words!

Finetuna is a pretty cool service which allow you to do just that.

You can grab an image off your hard drive. Upload it and add comments and notes. Once you’re ready you can pass the link to it to someone else and they can continue the work and so and so on.

It’s a really nice idea and best of all it’s free!

And did I mention it was Irish?

I guess I should have done.

Finetuna is from the guys in SpoiltChild (they’ve done a lot of work for me over the years, so I may be a wee bit biased)

IMDB The Ultimate Movie and TV Database

Internet Movie Database Logo

I think I first accessed IMDB sometime during my first year at university. At the time, 1994, the site was still in its infancy, even though it held a lot of information.

Skip forward 14 years and The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) has to be ranked as one of the most useful sites on the web if you’re anyway interested in film or tv. The site is packed with information on films, actors, directors and upcoming releases.

Unfortunately  you cannot get local movie times unless you’re in the UK or US, but even so the wealth of information that the site provides is amazing.

Louder Voice Reviews

loudervoice logo

People buy goods and services based on recommendations from other people. You can advertise to your heart’s content, but other people’s recommendations make all the difference.

LouderVoice, which is Irish by the way, allows people to share their reviews of products, services, books, films, etc., etc. very easily. You can either post your review directly on their website or interact with them using a range of other methods, such as SMS or “tags” on your blog or twitter.

While the service always struck me as being “cool” and all that I couldn’t see how they were going to make any money out of it. However they have since unveiled their business solutions which do have a proper revenue stream.

Their new business service allows business owners to easily collect reviews and testimonials from their customers (one company is encourages customers to post reviews by putting stuff on the bottles they sell!)

It’s a really nice idea and hopefully the business side of it will prove successful.
