19/11/2010(15:00): Googled “porter’s five forces template”, and I got a really good template from; http://www.businessballs.com/portersfiveforcesdiagram.pdf. I also uploaded the document to google docs.

19/11/2010(16:25): Began to write my section of the report, I began by research and writing a little on 5. Use of Strategy and Porter’s 5 forces.

20/11/2010: I used Microsoft Paint to create a diagram of Porter’s Five Forces using the template from businessballs.com. I also searched the web for facts and figures related to the five forces. I researched what the strategy of some universities are/were.

21/11/2010: I googled “task organizer online” and tried http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ it was terrible, I didn’t know how to set tasks, add contacts or do anything of real use. I also tried http://www.toodledo.com/ which was just as bad, if not worse than rememberthemilk.com. I had to upgrade to “pro” just to do the simplest of tasks that are available for free on other websites.

21/11/2010: I made my third blog post.
