Alan O'Rourke explains how his team at SpoiltChild avails of online software to organize their virtual office.

Cork based startup Roam4free paid a visit to the Google HQ in London and I'm not going to quash any of the rumours that sparked off!

Eoghan McCabe's brand new FoldSpy gets an early boost on Read/WriteWeb.

Ken McGuire is celebrating 2 years in business and the rewards of hard work. As a follower of Ken on Twitter I can verify his claims to the long hours regularly put in (not that I read those Tweets in real-time!) --

"Of course its not as if business just falls into your lap and we’ve had a queue of people lining up outside the door - the work has to be done too. The first six months of the business were spent either in the office here (our premises) or in the office in my own home once 6 or 7pm passed. Often was the case of sitting at the desk from 8:30am to 10, 11, 12 at night and beyond. Often was the case too that you’d find yourself still on the go at 3 or 4am with buckets of coffee, burning the candle at both ends. Hell, it took me 18 months to give in and take an actual break (when I got to Toronto last Christmas) But it does pay off. At least I think it does anyway."

So do I Ken. Although I usually keep away from the coffee at 4am ;-)
