An experiment with Google Maps.
Our main site has a very active stock bulletin board - Desire Petroleum - where the same old questions have kept cropping up over the last few years: When is drilling going to commence?

‘Pick of the week’ launched on Facebook
The importance of internet based media companies such as ours embracing the social networking phenomenon and engaging with new (and existing) users on sites other than their own has been well documented.

As hysteria gripped the markets this week, I thought it was about time we got the Dow Jones price and graph sorted - a challenge we’ve been having with our data provider for some time now. There was also the fact that my Uncle mentioned he had to go to the BBC website to get […]
A belated Happy New Year
So, after a bit of a frantic December we’ve launched the new moneywise website - www.moneywise.co.uk. Technically quite interesting in that it’s allowed us to explore a number of new things without the same legacy restrictions and considerations we have with interactive investor, namely:-
