I listened to the rest of the show and really enjoyed it. Quite a few interesting points were made and being from a teaching background, I enjoyed the educational part of the discussion too. Paul Barclay was a great host

Changing language
Text messaging, Facebook and Twitter – technology has opened up new ways of communicating and fostered the creation of new words, such as defriend or nom (which means eating something nice). So how do these new technologies alter our language? And will it produce lasting changes?
Internet Marketing for Women Brings Great Opportunities
Internet marketing offers wonderful opportunities for people in general but over the last few years it has been my pleasure to work with a range of wonderful women who are making their own way online. Through the power of blogging and websites, they are reaching out to other women and the world and building very successful businesses in the process.
Some women are building sites that cater specifically to other women e.g. providing a place for mums to find out what’s going on locally, selling female centric products and gifts or providing social commentry from a feminine point of view.
They have discovered that its entirely possible to build a strong stream of income in between managing their daily lives, jobs, families and other activities. If they want to build their sites on a part time basis or full time basis, they can. Spending as little as a couple of hours a week, some women are bringing in thousands of dollars a month on a continuing, growing basis.
