Trying to find an html email developer or a place for lunch in Shoreditch?

So you are either looking for a place to have lunch in Shoreditch or for a company who provides an HTML email design service. Either way, we are able to help you.

If you have read our blog before and have tracked what we discuss you will notice that what we post is not always directly related to who we are or what we do such as the Shoreditch Lunch Club (a vain attempt at trying to attract business from people who might accidentally stumble upon us while looking for a place to eat in Shoreditch). As yet we have not had a single call from anyone who wanted to speak to us about developing a new email campaign whilst looking for the best place to get lunch for under a fiver. That’s not to say it won’t happen but I bet we are more likely to get a free lunch from one of the restaurants we have scored for lunch – at least I hope so.

In any case, if you are looking for a company to speak to about your HTML email campaigns then we could be the right business, assuming we’re not out to lunch that is. Click here for some more details or give us a call.

Ever heard of Tiny URL?

I saw this poster in Bow town hall while waiting to register the birth of my baby daughter last week. I couldn’t quite believe that the designer of this poster for the borders agency hadn’t pointed out that the URL was completely ridiculous and useless.

Surely this has to be the best example I have ever seen of when to use Tiny URL for a domain name?

Shoreditch Lunch Club

Lee Abbott — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:26:08 +0000

You know another week has passed at By the Scruff when the stomach pleasing lunch club arrives. Every Friday, as a pat on the back for a hard working week, By the Scruff treats itself to lunch on the town. After a few visits to the numerous eateries in London’s Shoreditch area, we decided to keep a diary of our escapades and experiences to help those feeling dazed at the choice Old Street offers to the ravenous.

To help establish the top places, marks out of 10 will be given on the following criteria:

Speed of service – less time waiting, more time eating
Quality – fresh or from frozen?
Quantity – we’re not on diets
Location – distance to office
Value – £5 (or close) lunch menu

A 5 point bonus will be awarded to those offering the following:

Fish & chips on menu (it is Friday after all)

May the best lunch win! Check back here soon for reviews…
