Friday Digital Roundup
The Friday Digital Roundup is a witty take on the weird world of the internet. With fun stories from around the globe, it’s the only email newsletter you’ll actually read and enjoy!
We do love writing it, but clearly not as much as people like receiving it - just look at the response we got when a technical hitch meant it wasn’t sent out on time!

Coffee and the FDR is how I start my Friday.
Do not engage until I have devoured both
When it comes to the end of the week, there is no better way to start a Friday than with a run around the internet with Todd and Jo in the FDR. Just don't let them know I do it from the loo!
@Spaghetti_Jo
My inbox is full of rubbish newsletters that Im constantly deleting😬 My VIP inbox is for 1 thing only- THE DIGITAL ROUNDUP🤠I dont read a Newspaper or the news online, I just wait for Fridays, when this lands in my inbox- then I know ‘The weekend has landed’🤗
Get the Friday Digital Roundup and see what everyone’s talking about.
We may look like cowboys, but we’ll never abuse your data! Find out what we’ll do with it here, partner.

Jo,
We run a business support network for women. We have meetings in Rugby, Solihull, Kenilworth, Stratford and Coventry from September.
Socially Shared is a welcoming and supportive group, which is affordable and inclusive. Each meeting has a mini workshop covering a topic that the ladies who attend tell us they want to know more about e.g. social media, marketing, customer service and so much more!
We would very much welcome being added to the list and we would also invite any businesses that are attending events or hosting them to add them to our website for free https://www.sociallyshared.co.uk/local-business-events
Many thanks,
Karen & Rebecca

Hello Todd and Jo, I need to put up some networking opportunities on the arts development page which sits rather awkwardly under the art gallery!! Anyhow I stumbled across your page and if ok will list you and all that you have listed as seems silly to duplicate the effort!!
Many thanks, Carole

I actually made a friend like that she was sitting next to me and I made a comment about the career fair we were at, until this day we are good friends
Anas Khan at 21:03pm on August 12th 2020
My advice is ask them this “ are you the person that stole my bike “ or “did you throw shit at my nephew’s Car”.
Always work out for me quite well
(Don’t forget to have a knife with you)

“How to start a conversation with anyone, and by anyone I mean anyone at a party. Not the girl behind the counter at the library or the cashier at Walmart whose busy and can’t afford to fraternize too much on the job with random customers.”
