[I Love Spreadsheets]

I get a fair percentage of my business from forums like this one and the 4Networking forum. I also get a fair bit of work from abroad (mainly central Europe and the US)

So I'm looking to expand by taking part in forums overseas, but I cant find many. The spirit of using a forum to help one another doesnt seem to exist outside the UK. Does anyone know of any similar forums in the US and Europe I can join?

No I dont but we met at BNI Victory two weeks ago in Barry, I remember you. Nice to see you on here.

You would be very wrong to assume that as there are many US based forums that are much bigger than any UK forums I use with the same values. Just a couple of examples:

digitalpoint.com
webamster-talk.com
websitebabble.com
v7n.com/forums

If you need more I have a huge list I'm currently looking for more UK based webmaster/business forums like this one.

Regards,
Jack

Thanks Bri, The BNI meeting was far better than I was expecting and I really enjoyed it - I even managed to put a few referals together after the meeting. Unfortunately I cant get to the meetings anyway near regular enough to sign up However I hope to become a regular stand in for Rob Warlow so I should be seeing you all again

I'm not a member either but the honorary sub I think, I've subbed for most of them on there, gets me a free breakfast though.

I liked your pitch, not many people know that tailor made software can be better than buying full product sometimes, bells and whistles etc. Sometimes you only want the whistle.

Agree. I thought I knew a little about Excel but then Carl did some work for me and I was amazed at what that spreadsheet is capable of doing with links into Outlook etc. Makes my life a whole lot easier

It is a hard sell - People just dont think there is a middle ground between off the shelf software and the fully bespoke software. People tend to end up using work around on top of work around to get off the shelf software to do what they want.

I shall expect some heckling at my next 4N meeting for going over to the dark side LOL

Ah but you havent parted with your sacrificial payment to the darkside, so call it espionage and information gathering.
