Bollywood Movie Reviews by HitYaFlop.com

Came across this site Hit Ya Flop? which collates movie reviews, for the latest movies, from different sources (newspapers, bollywood websites etc) and presents them all in one place. Extremely useful, especially if you are a movie buff and like to be updated on all the reviews before making a decision on watching a movie. Worth bookmarking!

Your Competitors May Be Closer Than They Appear!

I spent some time playing around with these free templates and resources from Marketware and I thought to recommend these for those of you who might be looking for help in designing a system to keep competitors on your radar or a sales pipeline/funnel planner.

For example: This Excel-based Competitive Analysis template, which you can download, allows you to calculate and graph your competitiveness score for a number of factors and calculate an overall competitiveness index against up to 5 competitors.
