1. Welcome
Thanks for reading this update from inframes.com, the company set up last year by the two former senior SCOOT developers, Jon Ewing and Daniel Rosewarne.
A message from the editor:
Forgive me for boasting but I'm telling everybody - those lovely people at The Sunday Times listed What The Papers Say as one of "50 great British sites the world should envy".
Not a bad accolade and you'll understand why I want to shout it from the rooftops - it took a long while to get here, but we're not quite finished yet.
Take care,
Jon Ewing

2. Sunday Times 50 Great British Sites
"When we do things our own way, the results can be astonishing," says David Hewson in The Sunday Times,
urging Brits to "stop moaning, discover our strengths and start building a vision of the future we can share
with the rest of the world."

3. Chelsea Flower Show
We were asked by beeb.com to design a Virtual Plant for
this year's Chelsea Flower Show website, sponsored by
Merrill Lynch Investment Managers.
The Show runs from Tuesday 22nd to Friday 25th May 2001
but the site will be up until June.

We'd like to thank the people at Chocolate Internet for their help.
4. Headline Hunt
Thanks to Andy Gilbert at BBC Radio 2 Online who recruited inframes.com to design a comedy game for the Ken Bruce website to replace the on-air Headline Hunt game. If this doesn't make you laugh, you need an operation.
