Imagine my disappointment when it turned out that Capcom had not based the storyline for this version of the popular game on Parasol. I had high hopes of Contractors being able to shoot up zombie versions of Parasol staff! It turns out that the mythical “Umbrella Corporation” have a “Red Queen Supercomputer” – I have put a call in to help us with busy Friday month ends. Seems Nintendo could do with some of that power too, more Wii’s are needed before the nation’s children (cough... men) become disappointed this Christmas. Great marketing and innovation success, for Nintendo to outsell Microsoft and Sony as they have a great David v Goliath story. There again, I still have a Dreamcast so what do I know!

Turning to social networking – seems up to 65% of US employers are now “Googling” prospective employees and checking Facebook and other sites for incriminating evidence. I saw some stats the other week on Internet trends and Facebook was off the scale in terms of growth. I think it is only a matter of time before UK employers and recruiters make these types of check as a standard part of the process. So... be careful when posting that picture from the 2007 Christmas “do”. It is also possible that Facebook, MySpace and others could equally become sites where social interaction promotes jobs and roles. Have you seen our ad on Facebook?
