A bit about Alex, a bit about King of Shaves.

It must be a bit hard for young alex. Having created such a successful money making idea first time around, giving it a twist the second doesn't appear to be working. I'm happy to have supported the initiative with ads from King of Shaves, Jodo and Twomo, but it seems that visitors are drying up, and advertisers are removing ads. I hope he has something up his sleeve, or he might be remembered as the kid who tried his luck twice.

Onto King of Shaves business, well we have had a storming end to the year with sales up in all accounts, and with new software platforms launching early 2007 (UltraGel ULX anyone...?) I am confident the brand will show great growth potential nationally and internationally throughout 2007.

We have also made some changes to our US and UK management teams, I will be heading up the US once again with Phil Williams leaving us to set up his own lifestyle marketing business, and we are also joined by new blood in the UK to complement Andy Hill.

All of the staff have worked really well this year - we've significantly kicked revenues north, and as well as King of Shaves, have some exciting stuff planned for 2007.

So, Happy Christmas to you - One and All and the Smoothest of Super Smooth New Years. Important: Enjoy!

Will Alex Tew It Again With Pixelotto?

It's Web Tew.Zero!!!

Background: It was in September 2005 that I first heard about the www.MillionDollarHomePage.com phenomenon that was British student Alex Tew's idea - sell a million pixels for a $1 apiece.

Normally quick to embrace ideas like this, I didn't advertise www.KingofShaves.com on it - big mistake.Anyhow, long story short, turned out that Alex Tew used King of Shaves, we got to know each other, I did him a favour and put him in touch with my PR adviser and he was good enough to do a talk with me Tew 400 youngsters about Entrepreneurship and stuff.

So I was delighted to hear from him last week, with a 'heads up' about his Web Tew.Zero (!!!) - new www.Pixelotto.com site - a neat (if I do say so myself) twist on the original sell pixels, make money website.

I've registered King of Shaves this time, as it's the run up to Christmas (and we're doing 3 for 2 on our products), plus I've put up the URL's for two brand new websites of my own being developed by my Flop Flip LLP www.jodo.biz and www.twomo.com.

Do Tew think it will work? Tew bet it will! Media interest is already spiking, it's free to play and advertisers need eyeballs. There are already some hardcore web companies there, ready to tew roll (sorry can't resist the puns) on Tuesday 5th December.Will Tew become a Millionaire? Well, visit www.Pixelotto.com - click an ad, and be in with a chance!

Tew'd better believe it. First and fast to market wins the race.
