Crisis - What Crisis?
by James Birtwhistle
Another week, another siesmic collapse in world financial markets... this time last year, I'd wager the majority of the UK public had never heard
of Fannie May, Freddie Mac or known the difference between one mortgage backed security or another. Even those Manchester United supporters who'd
heard of AIG probably had no idea that it was the USA's largest insurance group with financial tenticles which spread all over the world.

Network Freelance - a UK first!
by Rick Bisset
Those who've been watching for Network Freelance in the press may well have seen our latest promotional foray. Last week we undertook our biggest
ever press release, highlighting the unique way we're funded. No fee's, no subscribtions, just services to help freelancers and employers at
no cost. Our growth in community has bowled us over (which is a brilliant problem to have!) and to try and cover some of the development
costs we've offered employers the a volunatary contribution service where they can contribute payment, in line with the value they think
we've provided. We'll give you an update on how successful this is next month... but so far, so good...

August Newsletter Survey Results
Last month we asked you, "How are you preparing to keep afloat during the credit crunch?". Thanks to everyone who voted. Here are the results:
- Move in house (28%)
- Join an agency (23%)
- None of the above, business as usual (23%)
- Lower your rates to ensure you win contracts (14%)
- Increase your rates to get through any quiet patches (12%)
Worryingly for us it seems many are looking to turn to the security of a daily 9-5 grind! Lets just hope the current credit crunch ends up being
a cold and not a full-on flu!
