It then, migrated to the homes at a monthloy price which most consider to be not steep and not cheap. Second, the number of blogs in the Republic of Ireland was about 100 when we investigated for Naked Conversations in Jne 2005. During my visit earlier this month, I was told the number had passed 1200. Progress is being made. It has far to go and without near-ubiquitous broadband access, it faces a steep blockade. It seems to me there's an opportunity here for an entrepreneur to sieze the opportunity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-1150648431939734692006-06-18T17:33:00.000+01:002006-06-18T17:33:00.000+01:00Frappr Crappr.

Bloggers and commenters have got to decide how much of their lives they'll put out there - I deliberately don't talk about work or family in any great detail.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Finding a voice - !a subject matter that people are interested in! - and one that the blogger is interested in writing about is also difficult.<BR/><BR/>Alan in Belfast wobbles around all over the show. But I'm glad you're enjoying reading it.
