Are Moleskines available in India? I am not sure. I definitely haven’t spotted them around. Any how, with fantastic notebook alternatives available that are much cheaper, of good quality and very likable, you won’t miss Moleskines at all.

Here’s a list of notebook alternatives you should find handy (yes, there’s just one item right now, but the list will grow as I come across good notebooks. Let me know if you can add to this list, drop a comment).

Advice for Rubberband

In case you come across this post, this advice is for you. I wouldn’t have bothered giving it but I think you have some nice products and I would definitely like to see them being bought more.

Your website is a stand alone Flash website. It looks pleasant and is well done from a visual design point of view. However, at current, poor SEO, SEM and a number of usability issues are seriously cutting through using the website as a channel to create awareness of and sell your product. A web strategy that addresses these issues amongst others will help you use the web to increase sales which it currently doesn’t seem to be doing very well.
