Last weekend, we launched a new Blog to share business, marketing, product design and general life insights and discoveries.

You’ll love 21lives.com if you’re an entrepreneur or aspiring entrepreneur wishing to do more with what you learn.

We invite you to visit our blog and Join our Facebook Page.

Thank you. We appreciate all feedback.

As you may have noticed, we’re not blogging as much as we used to.

2 reasons for this.

• We’re not convinced of the added value of maintaining a blog. Blogging is usually the first thing we drop when we’re busy on mandates (like now) and think it’s not fair to our readers.
• We tweet a lot. A lot can be said on User Experience (UX) and Twitter seems to be a more direct / appropriate format for it.

From now on, our Blog will mostly be used for broadcasting Kotsego-related news and events with rare in-depth articles. We invite you to stay with us but we also recommend that you:

• Follow us on Twitter.
• Book a meeting to discuss User Experience or anything related to your reality.

Obviously, we’re still available via Email or Phone (438-275-8833).

Thanks for reading.
