Thought this might start us off on a way to quickly apprise interested team members on News and Information links outside of email. Might use this as a way to gather content for a more sophisticated model in the future depending on interest. 

Here are a couple of interesting things I found in the last couple of days.

I heard about this event today, not sure if it's worth looking into for March 2016? It could be a good way to promote ourselves?

Yes SXSW would have been great to go to, we just did not have the time or budget to do it this year. However one of our advisors and team members Andrew Cohen did attend in his own capacity. We should plan to have a presence there next year with our working software for all to download and use for free. Are there such events in the UK that we should consider?

Fascinating tech that can read emotions on faces through the frontal camera... Huge potential use in our platform.

A word on privacy, here is an example of how a big name educational company has been violating its own privacy agreements. I hope this has been verified: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/google-deceptively-tracks-students-internet-browsing-eff-says-complaint-federal-trade.
