Great show, this one. I need to reveal my bias and say that I am part of the team at Alliance Software and I was/am the creative lead for dLook. I have had a lot of fun over the last 18 months or so, working with Theo, Meg and the team at dLook. They're passionate people, they're great for a laugh, and they're really committed to their project. There's a story about a small dog that's introduced into a backyard where two much bigger dogs have lived for a while. So the two bigger dogs basically make life a misery for the small new arrival, to the chagrin of the owners who had hoped for a warmer reception for the little guy. But as the story goes, the little dog was made of very tough stuff and every time he got beaten up he'd go off, licking his wounds, and soon enough would be back for more. What amazed the owners was that eventually the little dog got the better of the two big ones, who just couldn't "keep him down", so to speak. In time the little dog - who never grew any bigger - had the run of the backyard. The moral or that story is to never give up, I suppose. Anyway, dLook often reminds me of that little dog. Theo and Meg are tenacious as all get out, and they're starting to be more than just a little dog biting at the heels of the Sensis/News/whoever-else Great Danes out there. It's a great story worth the telling, so thanks a lot for the interview. I, for one, will definitely be passing it around! Cheers, - Alister Hi Cameron.

There’s a story about a small dog that’s introduced into a backyard where two much bigger dogs have lived for a while. So the two bigger dogs basically make life a misery for the small new arrival, to the chagrin of the owners who had hoped for a warmer reception for the little guy.

Great interview Cam, and congrats to Theo and Meg for their success so far. I’m still pissed off at yellow pages for telling me there was a W.C Penfolds at an address which didn’t even exist!

I would imagine Im not alone in my loathing of telstra so maybe Theo could use this as some sort of marketing idea. Dlook sounds like a great service and I will definately be using it. Nice Interview Cam J Great Show,
