collab.ie

Yesterday, a colleague of mine pointed me over to Collab.ie as a neat resource to check out for Entrepreneurs. Upon arriving at the site, I was surprised I hadn’t come across it before but I think that’s because it’s quite new. The first thing that jumped out at me was its simple, yet elegant design. After playing with the site for a short while, I had to say I was impressed. Then this morning, while checking my rss feeds, I see that Collab.ie is part of the Tuesday Push. I had to write something.

The site has been set up by SmartCube and the design was done by Lee Munroe who is a freelancer web designer in Belfast. I’ve come across Lee’s work a few times over the past few months and have always been impressed. Another good job done here too.

Their own description of Collab.ie:
Irish entrepreneurs seeking skills and resources now have access to a new free online service that puts them in touch with like minded people. The website, created by Irish start-up software company Smartcube, aims to bring ideas and skills together. Collab is a simple, easy to use, free online tool to help bring ideas and skillsets together. If you have an idea and you need to find a person or people to work with you or if you want some feedback on a project you are considering collab is for you.

Collab.ie in Feed a Fever RSS

Get the RSS Feed:
Without further a do, I advise you to subscribe to their RSS Feed so that you’re getting a constant stream of new projects and businesses looking for skilled people/advice/etc. And indeed if you have a project or business in the pipeline (or even just floating around your head) and you are looking for skilled people to work with, why not post it up and see what comes of it. I’ve just added the RSS feed to my lovely shiney new RSS Reader called Fever. I’ll not miss any new entries on their site now. Oh, they also have a twitter account.

Best of luck with the site guys. Good idea, good design. Credit where credit’s due!

p.s. Ben Dunne should have come to you guys to build TenderMe.ie!!!

Munster Rugby

It’s the Tuesday Push and Munster Rugby is on the agenda with MyMunster.com featuring this time round. I’m going against my own team (Leinster) by supporting this push, but I had the pleasure of meeting Catherine from MyMunster.com, at the Blog Awards, and on this occassion, I’ll let it slide.

MyMunster.com is a rugby social media network that connects you with other Munster Rugby supporters. The site allows users to:

• Converse with other Munster Rugby supporters
• Catch the latest Munster Rugby photos and videos
• Follow the latest news and discussions
• Catch up and interact on the Munster Rugby Blog
• Get their hands on some sought after prizes
• Follow the MyMunster Twitter Account

So, if you’re in to Rugby (or unfortunate enough to actually support Munster), you should check out the site. I’m looking forward to seeing the upgraded version that has Leinster flags and colours all over it. Best of luck to Catherine and the crew over there.
