sugargroup blog

I have been chosen to take part in the T Mobile Business Nonsense Campaign......to work from different locations each day, break business conventions, norms and rulesand take part in 'Mobile Communications Challenges'
Over the week I shall be set numerous tasks to complete using a Blackberry; a device that is NOT touch screen.
Getting used to the equipment is the hardest thing. The buttons are small and I have the desire to keep touching the screen to no avail....
So, with Blackberry in hand on Friday night after a two hour meeting with the folks at Brands2life; I got to work. First things first; I turned it on! That was a great achievement. I then sent a text and called my husband from my other phone (touch screen!) to make sure he had received it. He had and he replied. So far so good......
James at Brands2life has told me to download as many apps as I wish...um, like a kid in a sweet shop I browse through Blackberry App world....don't really fancy Scoremobile after Englands' recent performance, or Brazil World footy, there's Smarter Wallpaper, Call Time Tracker so I can log calls, capture more time and track billable hours. Wow, how did I cope before?! There's ebay, facebook and twitter - now we're talking. One that is interesting is the Business Card reader, perfect for my sugargroup event tonight at One Alfred Place - I can be terribly techno and take a business card, photograph it and all the data will magically appear in my database.....if only I get to download the app!

On a plus note I have "tweeted" and "facebooked" from the comfort of my bed and the camera was useful during a meeting yesterday where we photographed parts of an old pub purchased by a very famous chef! Now how to download the photos is another thing.....

My aim of taking part in this project is to gain exposure for sugargroup but also break the mold of the women of a certain age and technology syndrome.
Wish me luck ladies, by Friday evening with a glass of sauvignon in hand, I am sure I shall be doing very nicely, thank you.
