Strive Notes

Today I got some feedback about my weekly newspaper column Tech Talk, and I thought I should address it.

Apparently an Isle of Man-based company has remarked to a government official about something I wrote. It seems I’d mentioned some of this company’s competitors in one of my articles and made no reference to it.

I was surprised to hear this because no one has contacted me about the omission. I wish someone had.

Because it’s true.  I did leave this particular company out.  And I should have included it.  I didn’t do it  intentionally; I just had forgotten it. But then again, this company has never, ever been in touch with their news so they were not ‘top of mind’.

Here is my point:  I provide 800ish words every single week to the Isle of Man Examiner for this Business Update column, and I would love to cover every single technology company on the Island.

But if I am to do that, you have to let me know your news.  Tell me what’s going on. What successes are you having?  What deals have you signed.  Send me a news release.  Shoot me an email.  Pick up the phone.  Speak to me.   I cannot cover your company if I don’t know your news.

Let this be an open invitation to all Isle of Man technology companies.  Pitch me!
