Just wanted to mention a networking colleague, Dan Field, who has spent much of the last few years in that most notorious of industries – spam.
But to save Dan’s reputation before it goes quickly downhill – he’s been at the good end. Trying to develop the Rolls Royce of anti-spam software – a true entrepreneurial challenge.
Well I’m no techy but from people I know who are using his Clear My Mail product he may have got as close as anyone to the holy grail – no spam, 100% guaranteed. And what’s more he’s up for a major award.
ClearMyMail is one of four finalists at the Startup Awards 2007 in the Product of the Year category and the Natwest Startup Business of the Year award, which comes with a £5000 top prize.
The Startups Awards, organised by Crimson Business’ www.startups.co.uk, comprises of 16 categories, each showcasing the best new businesses in the UK.
The winners will be unveiled at an awards ceremony and three-course luncheon to be held at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington on Wednesday 31 October.

And just in case you’re wondering how Dan can offer a 100% guarantee….sorry, don’t ask me, ask Dan.
