Find a toilet

Having spent a lot of time building up Find a Toilet, and finally having it placed in the Top 10 Best Mobile Phone Websites by the Sunday Times, I’m selling up.

I no longer have the time to keep adding toilets to the database, as there’s only me behind the site, not a team of people as some visitors seem to think.

I believe there’s huge potential in the concept - particularly in the iPhone and Google app market.

So the for sale package includes both the co.uk and .mobi websites as is, the database behind it, and every bit of information I have on toilets that are currently not on the website. I think around another 4000 or so. I will be happy to tell the buyer how I found out all this information so they can continue the work.

This would be a great buy for someone with more time on their hands than I do. It’s already at Number 1 on Google and has a lot of potential for expansion into other areas.

Currently the website doesn’t make any money, but this is because I always intended it to be a free service which would make money from advertising. The buyer could follow this model, or go down the Apps route and charge 99p for each download.

The sale price is just £2,500.

Please contact me using “email at findatoilet.co.uk” and I will happily ring you back to discuss it further.

Typing in the url of websites on your mobile phone using a stylus, or using thumbs and a keypad is one of life’s most frustrating tasks.

However Microsoft have come up with ‘Tags’ which are colourful images containing data that your phone can decode to take you straight to a particular mobile website. They work in the same way as barcodes on goods in a supermarket.

You will need to download a tiny file which automatically installs on your mobile phone. Open it and your camera is activated, then point it at the Tag and you will be taken immediately to the mobile site it’s linked to.

Try it. First go to Microsoft’s mobile Tag website direct from your phone and download the application, then use your phone on the tag in this post. It should take you directly to the mobile Find a Toilet site - brilliant!
