I agree with you DC 100% !!

DC - 1 day in advance should do it! :-)

A buy In this weeks Shares - Focus on blur's potential.

According to analysts at broker N+1 Singer, this years overall project value adds up to $43.2m (to the end of Aug ), implying $9.6m worth achieved so far in the third quarter to end Sept with still a month to run. That compares with $9.4m in the three months to end June, itself a record, and $2.9m in the third quarter of 2012.
blur is bit by bit showing that its sCommerce platform is a true disruptive technology with a big future. All key performance indicators (KPIs) are rising exponentially, with brief numbers in the first and second quarters of this year jumping 178% and 125% respectively. The second quarters $9.4m of projects represented a staggering 315% year-on-year rise. But even these super-charged figures are set to be beaten when blur reports third quarter KPIs, probably alongside the interims.
Analysts agree that projects worth seven-figure sums are going to be increasingly commonplace in future, yet they have been slow to raise forecasts. Even on current valuation metrics N+1 Singer's discounted cashflow analysis points toa top of the range 517p price target, although this is a best case scenario.

s-commerce firm blur Group announces the move of its global HQ to Exeter's new science park



Set to create new jobs by the end of the year



blur Group, the company that is reinventing commerce at blurgroup.com announces the move this month of its Global HQ from London to the Exeter Science Park, the UK's 70th and newest Science Park. This will also see the creation of new jobs and follows the successful opening of its R&D Center in Exeter earlier in the summer. blur's London and Dallas offices will remain as regional commercial hubs.



The move by blur Group, one of the fastest growing LSE:AIM listed tech companies, shows a commitment to a region with four of the country's top 20 universities and positions blur for further growth after its recent secondary fundraising. Exeter and the South West demonstrate a track record in innovation and entrepreneurship where start-ups have attracted more than $550 million in investment and returned more than $800 million to shareholders. The area shares many characteristics with the original Silicon Valley and is in a prime position to become the UK's leading tech region.



blur is the founding company at the Exeter Science Park and shapers of its future as a key, international, eco-friendly tech hub for the 21st Century. By the end of September there will be 35 employees in Exeter and 35 will remain in London.



Philip Letts, blur Group CEO commented, 'Exeter has the right ingredients to become Europe's San Francisco, and South Western UK the new Silicon Valley. The South West combines innovation and technology excellence, a great mix of universities with both academic and venture focus and an established reputation in attracting leading tech firms while providing great incubation and support for earlier stage business. It's a combination that has worked well for the US and has the potential to do the same in the UK."

---Adds broker comment and share price ---

blur Group (LON:BLUR) says it has improved the functionality of its tech platform as it announced the final phase of the rollout of blur 3.0.

blur 3.0 is the services-commerce platform that powers the group's 'Global Services Exchange' enabling the buying and selling of business service.

It is all part of the internet phenomenon called crowdsourcing - the process of taking a job or service and outsourcing it electronically to a person or firm.

Expert providers will now have a personal homepage called 'My blur", which will act as the gateway to all of the exchanges they are a member of, their trading accounts, previous pitches and current projects, the firm said.

The firm's chief executive Philip Letts told investors: "This upgrade of the expert community features to blur 3.0 is all part of our continuous drive to deliver a world class user experience for our global ecosystem.

"It allows us to more rapidly add new features and drive the future growth of our expert service providers way beyond the current 30,000."

Following the announcement, house broker N+1 Singer said it expected the firm's growth trajectory to remain strong.

"News flow and key metrics continue to support our view that blur Group is at the forefront of disrupting the US$2tn business services market.

"We believe it is successfully building on its first mover advantage across a number of areas, but particularly through continuous updates and enhancements to its technology platform."


Shares rose 8.9% to stand at 471p.
