Our Internet Pals
Back in 2002 when Dan Brown was inventing the internet at CERN [INSERT RESEARCH], media commentators used to say that the internet would be responsible for the wholesale breakdown of society. Although you could make a pretty good argument that they were right the one saving grace of the internet was reciprocal linking.
Internet people, or “geeks” as we playfully called them before they started employing us, scratched each other’s backs like never before and, lo, it created a sense of community on the web. We’d like to do our bit to bring back that decade of love and so here are some of our internet pals, go visit them and spread the essence of our love across the curtains of their websites.
If you would like a reciprocal link, get in touch (iamstaggered AT gmail DOT com) and we’ll have our lawyers call your lawyers!
Our friends at Ooh.com have loads of ideas for things to do if you’re stuck.

Ashford Daly Photography If you asked us to comment we’d say, that Ashford Daly Photography operate in Cheshire and Berkshire – they’re cool and retro, inject passion, fun, creativity and quirkiness – modern reportage and relaxed photojournalistic approach, with a fine art twist.
