Keeping your data safe and the lead developer of a worldwide gay dating app

Steve Griffiths introduces today’s guests and let’s us know that our host Jeremy Eames is rather spaced out today due to having a vaccination yesterday.

Our hosts discuss BBC’s Tech Talent week and the very serious business of UK tech start up funding being rather barren. Jeremy gets a slapped wrist for not being on LinkedIn, when TechTalk now is (naughty), and they muse over the business benefits of getting involved in LinkedIn vs the personal touch of Twitter. Which do you prefer?

Nick Bridgen of Harlequin CDIS is our first guest today and is all about brand protection. Whether you’re a one-man band or a banker if you want to find out if you’re properly managing your online profile, these are the guys to talk to. Steve questions the need for a one man band having brand protection and discovers that it’s often the smaller companies that are at a much greater list due to not having properly protected themselves from hacking and viruses. Basically, he’s a professional, nice guy hacker who you pay to break into your sensitive information! What a job!

Are you excited? You should be, because next is our live unboxing section! The team look at a Bluetooth iPad keyboard this week. After a fairly unimpressive start for this week’s item, find out if Jeremy can work out where the enter key is and whether they finally decide whether they think it rocks or goes back in the box.

Next we hear Sue Nelson interview Brady Last of Breakthrough Funding, who specialise in R & D tax relief. Sue thinks it sounds terribly boring and prompts Brady to give us a reason to prick up our ears – perhaps discovering that your business is most likely eligible for government funding might pique the interests of the UK masses?

We’re joined on the phone by Brendon Bezuidenhout who is lead developer of CDC connect which looks after gay dating veterans Gaydar and has also now created Gaydar Girls. Steve is interested to find out the difference between Gaydar and Gaydar Girls and which came quicker. Jeremy gives away his lack of coding knowledge by mispronouncing C# as C-Hashtag – he’s so obsessed with Twitter - Brendon clears up the difference between the variety of coding languages for us. Phew!
