*The Debatewise Blog
5 things in the week
Not done this in a while, so I thought we should break the monopoly of the WODC commentary on the blog
Alex:
1, ... ok so not quite! I have been helping Leo out with some WODC stuff this week; particularly emails and writing a bit for the facebook page. As a side point to this I put up the debate we at HQ had during our testing the software http://debatewise.com/debates/1013-we-should-dramatically-increase-the-rate-of-income-tax-paid-by-the-rich
2, Lost my precious 1k karma and in return gained the ability to add pictures to debates! Therefore spent quite a while (probably more than I should have done) looking for pictures for various debates.
3, Looks like I am finally pretty much finished writing some things for a possible evaluating board for revisewise... not getting very far on a cover letter though, I am useless at important letters.
4, Started doing a bit of research on what we would be liable for if the moderators miss something on our white label partners sites.
5, Thought I would mention the newspapers as it was the only bit of my work I was doing while on holiday – lack of internet access prevented any more (a good excuse at least!). I am told that this week’s 6 questions were oversubscribed so I think I will need to give over an extra hour on Tuesday afternoons in order to have more questions on the list, no squabbling about which ones U get to do RRT!
Steph: Five things I have done
1. Fussed Marely and gave him my lunch (Hey...its in my job description and I know my priorities)
2. Emailed ALL of the pressure groups, political parties, student unions and like-minded organisation- when I say ALL I mean thousands!
3. Secured a meeting and connected with different companies that are 'discussing' our proposal
4. Networked up a storm, well maybe a raincloud at an event on Wednesday. Booked the next events to come in Aug/Sept
5. Interviewed lovely, possible candidates for our internship position. What an experience being on the other side.
Might I add a tremendous thank you to David for giving me a free Big Chill ticket, I had an utterly, fantabulous time!
