Tintavision - R.I.P.

Sometimes I'm asked what I was doing before I launched podServe, our CD ripping service. Well I had purchased a franchise from a company called TintaVision and was trying to help people overcome dyslexia. Although the service was good and I greatly enjoyed helping people to read better getting involved with TintaVision was without doubt the worst business decision I have made.

Even so it was with some sadness that I learnt TintaVision had gone bust. I worked with some great people, particularly the team at CCPD in London, but the stirling work at the coal face was let down (in my opinion) by some of the worst management I've had the misfortune to be subjected to. Most of the time I felt that those who should be taking us forward had completely lost their way, and ours with it. Eventually these mistakes catch up with you.

I particularly feel sorry for the many people who now won't be helped by the TintaVision process. If you are an ex-TintaVision person please feel free to contact me, it would be nice to keep in touch. Unless you were one of the management in which case ....
