1/Let's say you create this really great service and you think it would be useful for GOJ. The next steps are:

1. Register an Ltd (If you haven't already done so)
2. Register with the National Contracts Commission (NCC)
3. Write an unsolicited bid
4. Submit 2/Yeah, it's a pretty involved process, a lot of work and can take months. Also, GOJ doesn't pay next day, just an FYI.

This is also of course the abridged version of the process. You'll need a TCC too, but when you register an Ltd I believe you receive one for 3 months

Apple is building out its own social media network via messages and the contact list. I love that for them. 2/It's also a very personal social media network.

Shareplay (Watch together/Listen together)
Tracking your friends/family
Messages
Fitness
And More

People are already doing this, but it's fragmanted.

1/A few weeks ago I mentioned on here that a friend of mine, at 25 years old, caught Covid-19 and got really sick. He's much better now and gave me permission to share photos, his name and other details. A thread... 2/His name is Craig Powe. Craig caught Covid-19 twice, the first time he recovered without issue, however, the second time it almost killed him. Craig has no comorbidities, except for childhood asthma, something that has not bothered hime since he was 10 years old

1/Audio Rooms (Clubhouse, Spaces and others) are the greatest thing to come out of this pandemic (from a social media POV). Its ephemeral nature creates FOMO, but there are also obviously asynchronous opportunities if done correctly. 2/Some say it’s like an endless conference call, but is it? I don’t think so, context is everything. It’s more powerful than traditional podcasts because of the serendipitous nature of it.

As I said the other day. Feel sad for hellshire, not fort Clarence. It probably won’t exist in a few months. Just to add to this a bit. A thread on Hellshire Beach
