Once upon a time Facebook may have had honest intentions of being a way for college students to organise their social lives but it rapidly becomes a different matter when you have to make money from the service.

In fact it's probably not even that new. Hence traditional postal junk mail.

He doesn't need the money, so it's the expertise and contacts he is looking for.

Free. Pfft, nothing's free. Get ready for loads of flyers and crap coming though your letterbox and in your inbox.

Just realised they're using the original theme at the end. Has it always been that way?

Really? That's it?”

Apparently. But I don't get why it has to be done via 3G (and didn't they say something about customers using their own smartphones?).

Surely it could be done with a local wi-fi network. Or bluetooth. Or just radio (like wireless telephone handsets and such).

But if people are using it outside they won't have wi-fi unless they are using it in their own garden or near a public wi-fi spot. But who's going to do a fitness class near a hotel, airport, train station, cafe, etc.. which have a wi-fi spot.

How would it be done via bluetooth if it requires the internet to access the fitness app? Bluetooth is for transferring data when devices are within close distance of each other.

Yes, yesterday was the second week of a new series! Been jolly good so far with the usual good, bad and thoroughly indifferent 'entrepreneurs'. You simply must watch the first episode on catch up with the zombie combat pitch, have a hanky at the ready for tears of laughter!!

What does the fitness app do? And why does it have to be on-line? I can't see a need unless they want to synchronise different fitness groups around the country.

Wi-fi as I understand it could be used to communicate between local computers, even if there is no internet connection (I've used ethernet for that purpose).

While Bluetooth can be used up to 10m (and Wikipedia suggests it can be up to 100m). I'm also concerned with what's inside each headset: presumably there would be some sort of smartphone, which would need to be up and running, and with a 3G connection, which I understand can also cost money.

It just seems extraordinarily over the top for something that even in the 70s could be done with a simple bit of electronics plus a portable cassette player. We're talking about mixing a source of music with the input from a microphone.

I think the proposition was that the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer the shouted instructions and music playing at a zillion decibels. I once lived near a swimming pool where they started these classes and my weekends were ruined by shrieking instructor and music so loud your ears bled from 9am to 5pm.

I like how when you click on the Privacy link it doesn't actually take you to a prvacy statement, in fact it takes you nowhere. That's a good way to get customers to trust you with their data. Also the contact form isn't even on the same domain, it's a Google Docs form. I'm not finding this website very trustworthy or credible for some reason

People would be better off searching Google or going on a certain money saving forum and reading the freebies section on there.

The 114k likes is the number of likes their Facebook page has. So it is a correct number.

As usual they are using loose words like "invigorating" and "stimulating" which medically mean sweet FA. They have nothing to back up their medical claims.
