Postbox Spam

A thought came to me today while I was happily playing away on the xbox 360 in my front room, when for the 15th time this week a piece of junk mail arrived through the letterbox. If I see another pizza offer, crappy local newspaper, or an announcment about a new chinese round the corner, I'll scream!

So it got me thinking. We have had spam filters on our emails for years now and they get increasingly more sophisticated to let your good mail through and keep the bad ones at bay. Now, why can't this be applied to a normal in-the-door letterbox? Something which is an internet connected sensor that can be programmed (and the information shared) to block the crap mail and let the postman through!

All it needs is the Royal Mail to have unique code sensor that automatically unlocks the letterbox when the postman is delivering an item but refuses to open for the junk mail people.

So - anyone fancy starting a new company called "Postbox Spam" Ltd?

SO, just what is Phlibble?

It has been a while since I founded Kelkoo UK and helped turn Kelkoo into Europe's biggest price comparison engine.

After working for another company for a couple of years, I finally took some time out to recharge the batteries and get ready for another big adventure.

I will talk about my two ventures another time but it is an exciting period and I want to use this blog to post my thoughts and findings on the web 2.0 network along with my own perceptions about new upcoming businesses and entrepreneurship in general.
