Hi everyone,
My name’s Lola and I’ve been working in UK2’s marketing department for a month now. Wow, it’s already a month, it went really fast. In my time here, there have been so many developments. We’ve redesigned some of our web pages, added on some new services like web analytics (Stats 2.0) and a new email product (2mail Pro) and our VPS.NET Beta Trial is in the second phase now. VPS.NET is going to be a great product, keep you eye out for it. We’ve also become tweeters. Twitter looks fun even though I haven’t really used it that much. And of course we’re still on Facebook but there’s a twitter-revolution at the moment!

As some of you may know UK2Group beta-launched our VPS cloud at www.vps.net a few days ago. We only allowed around 80 users in the initial betatest, but we’ve since had literally hundreds of requests from users who wants to try this new technology. We have room for around 10 users more in the first beta-user session.
Carlos Rego from UK2Group came up with the idea to let the beta-requester’s write a poem speaking of their undying affection for the VPS Cloud
I really had my doubts - this would never work, I thought. But -
- I was proved quite wrong.
Take a look at the wonderful poems here - or read a few snipplets below:

For the second Christmas running UK2 took over Somerset House ice skating rink, 30 of us took to the ice for some Ice Skating fun!
Everyone fell into 1 of two categories, those that can and those that can’t. I am pleased to say that I fell in to the ‘those that can’ camp, this did not seem to be the case for a lot of my lovely UK2 collegues!
