Fruit Snack, Fruit Cereal... what is it?

During the year, we see many new products, but new, only a handful is what we call new. Most are a variation or copies of other existing products. Well, if we were targeting the low end of the market we could sit at home, browse on the Internet and find many, but instead, we travel, visit innovative new companies with unique products.

Well, usually there is no person who is the only one who have an idea, so of course, it could happen that someone else also made the same product, but as long as the other isn't in the market, it's no problem.

This summer we found this great fruit snack, or cereal, or to use on ice creams, in yogurts, or in salads.

Edible Coffee - Does it exist?

When drinking Coffee, the bitter aftertaste is easily recognizable, and even though it smells delicious, very few actually like to eat the coffee beans.

Cocoa beans, even though the fruit is very different and have many beans in one fruit, while the Coffee is more like a Cherry, the beans inside looks a little similar.

You don't get the butter, like the one you get from the Cocoa, but Coffee contains oil, so mixing Coffee oil, with grinned Coffee, well, I don't think anyone tried that, before now.

It's made from 100% Arabica. Looks like a Chocolate, but doesn't contain any Cocoa*. Comes in 3 flavors. People like different types of Coffee, so why not? Espresso, Cappuccino and Cafe Latte... just like the Coffee drink it's named after, the edible Coffee Bean contains Caffeine... the same amount as a cup of Coffee of the type it's named after have.

*The Cafe Latte flavored bean have a little Cocoa.

Available with and without Sugar.

It's possible to request a confirmation, to know if the receivers opens your e-mails, if you are using MS Outlook, or other e-mail software, but you will not get a confirmation if the receiver don't accept to give it to you. And even if they do, you don't know if they click on links you have in your e-mail.

Basically; you only get a confirmation informing you that the e-mail did arrive in the e-mail client.

Well, it's possible to Track email opens and clicks directly from Gmail, Outlook and Salesforce.

Snap.Do almost made me Snap - How to remove it

I did, several times, follow instructions from helpful internet users, but it did always, somehow, pop up after a few days. Being hijacked by this annoying "tool" is something that could make you "snap", so they did pick the right name for it.

After trying it manually, something that didn't work, maybe because I didn't do all I should have done, probably because I didn't have the patience because I was irritated, then I tried different software tools promising to find malware for free... well, they did find, but didn't remove before I was willing to pay.

OK, most things have a cost, but virus software like Avast is free, so why not a Snap.Do remover tool? After "betting on a lot of horses" I did find a free tool and it seems it has done the job; Malwarebytes - so if it prove that it did the job, I will consider buying the Pro version.

If your web-site was a country...

How big would it be?

Many use hours every day, to improve and make their web-site as good as possible, but is it worth it? How many are we doing it for? How big is it?

Perspective
We're not using time on our web-site every day and for us the purpose isn't to get as many visitors as possible. It's to get the information out to our contacts, and hopefully, rarely since the group we target are very small, we try to find new contacts.

I guess this is how you have to see things if you have a site: Everything is relative to your target group, it's not to be considered or compared to all Internet users. Same as if you have a store; you want the buyers to visit you, all the others don't create much income for you, with a small exception of the "word of mouth" effect.

Comparing to countries
I found a site that compares web-sites to places, and countries. We're not targeting all of the users on the Internet, but I thought it would be fun to compare our site: sorze4.com with a country.

This service, site: siteempires.com, informed me that our site is a little bigger than Cocos (Keeling) Islands and have a population of 616. A little bigger than Ådalsbruk is a village in the municipality of Løten, Norway.

What I didn't know, even though I'm Norwegian and my wife have the same last name, is that the famous painter, Edvard Munch was born there in 1863.

Well, being small isn't always a bad thing so I'm not disappointed that we can't compare ourselves with Facebook, larger than Italy, or Twitter, larger than Azerbaijan.

We have 5% compared to our local newspaper and we're OK with that :)
