Entering The World Of The Internet At Internet World

Steven OBrien - Sunday, May 17, 2009

Myself and Luke recently attended Interent world 2009. It's a big trade show for all interenet based companies. This mainly consisted of Web development, hosting, email marketing and internet marketing companies. However it was great to see a few diverse and interesting companies there too. As the internet becomes ever integrated into our daily lives the borders expand and new opertunities emerge. It was great to see a large thriving community of people all involved with web stuff.

Some of the more unique companies were:

mybuybox - these guys provide a solution to failed deliveries by providing a secure locker location where you can arange deliveries. If your not around (which you most likely won't be) it gets put in your locker. Then you recieve a message and go and collect it. No toing and froeing with the local post office or other carrierer used. And no more lost packages. A great idea.
Cashthingy - these guys provide a means to use cash to buy online! All you need is to top up your voacher at a local store. Similar to a pay as you go phone top - up card.
