    Direct competition!

    Just had an email sent to the general school admin site promoting www.icttechnician.com. is it me or do two sites dedicated to the exact same topic seem pointless?

    Re: Direct competition!

    During the summer 2 Scottish school techs spammed a load of high level mail accounts about a site, which to be frank wasn't very good (just a PhP BB) for school techies. I think this may be the same people.
    Anyhow, their forum is increadably slow and isn't loading very fast and only gets used twice a day (or thereabouts).

    Not the Scottish guys then. It's a lonely site though.

    Possibly. It may let them know about where all of their potential users have been lurking. Besides, what do I say? 'Hi, we're EduGeek and have been your more successful competitor for the past 6 months, which may explain why your forum is empty'?

    I do get the impression that it is a techy site for schools run by teachers for teachers.

    Re: Direct competition!

    Was that around the same time we caused a fuss on the TES forums or am I being paranoid?
